A GASOLINE HOREOK. JL Kntttlng-Mlll, FlUed wltb. Opera tives, Bown Up by at Gasoline Exp o lion Nine Women Rarnrd to Doth, and Many Olhtn I Jared. A terrible gnsoline -explosion occurred on the 20th of January in the manufacturing establishment known as the Green Mountain Kiiittinir Mills, of Bennington. Vt , which very nearly caused the destruction of the en tire building, and cent nine poor creatures unheralded to their graves. The building was a massive brick structure, em ploying seventy five hands. There was a Iarjie "L" in the rear In bk-h was placed the boiler used to beat the buildint: and to eupolv Bteam lor an en rrioe.wben the water-wheel did not furnl sufficient power. Tolighttbe works,aporUble ens anpiiraiua wa9 uccd, by means of which the vaporization of gai-oliue was made to crve as an Sllumiuatlng agent. The day the event here hpokea of occurred, it was discovered that the pipes containing the gasoline were leaking, and a mn was set to work repairing them. Durinsr this operation the vapor of g:isline was allowed to escape and till the room, and a portion e?cnped into tne l con tuiiiinu- ibe bo ler. It is well known that the vnpor of giS' .line, or any volatile substance, mixed with atmospheric air in certain rr iM.rtioni". will explode on coming in com act with fire, and this is Jut what happened iu this Im-tancc. The vapor mixed with air came in cont ict with tht. fires under the boiler ai.d an explot-ton followed wbieb in an instaut shattoed the portion of thai building permeated by the gas, which was nearly the whole structure in this inslance. The roof was lifted from the side-walls which f 11 outward, aid when the roof fell it drop ped upon the heads of the employes, crushing them to the ground and imprisoning them be netth the ruins. In an instant the whole building w as wrapped in flames, leaving thot-e who attempted to put out the fire powerless to render aid to the poor creatures who were imprisoned there, and they were rapidly burn ed to death. A local account pays: "The screams were liorrihle to hear, and their agonizing cries for help were enough to put energy and courage into the nerves of every man, but all efforts were fruitless, and the unfortunate women perished miserably. After considerable time had been spent in subduing the flames, a search was mde anions the ruins, and the charred remuius of nine bodies were recovered In every instance there was no possibility of recognition directly, and the only guide to the naires of the killed was the fact that the re mains found were supposed to be those of the Denuus who worked at the benches where ttitee remains were found." It was a terrible affair, and the moral con veyed by it it sufficiently clear to be patent to the commonest comprehension. Alcohol, gaisoliue, kerosene, and the thousand and one burning fluids and compounds sold lorillumi nating purposes, will explode II tne vapor arh-iiig from them be not kept away from fire, no matter what their vendors may say to the contrary. If those whose necessities compel their use would only remember this fact, and act accordingly, the death-rate of the country would be very sensibly diminished, a vast amount of suffering saved, and readers of new.-pupers be spared such harrowing details as are here recited. SINGULAR MAURI AGE A Couple of" Lovers Join Hands at Mid night Over a, Grave in a Lonely Crm eUry, aritl Are United In the Holy I!unl4 by u Attending Official. Marriage, although an affair of the heart, is essential y alsoau atfjirof business. Those "bUMiiess" people wLodit-card the romance of the new relation are very apt to go about it in a "busiuess way." A word or two bt-f ore a ju-tice or a minister, and the 4-bu?i .ess" is . lini.-LeJ. Others are a little more expansive in their ''business" notions, and require a f Jrihi nable church, with the (ce.-sories of mu-ic, b. ide.-m.iidd and orange blossoms, with a bridal tour in the near perspective. Others agniu l'Xk upon the ceremony as solely a matter of romance, and strive to surround It with impr-8five and startling adjuncts, calculated to create what may be termed sensations. In a Southern news paper of a recent date appeared an ac- count of an ardent and romantic couple who entered the ijew rel.ttion by telegraph. This of course refers to the u-e of the tele graph in conveying the questions and re sponses. Another couple were recently mar ritdonthe ice, probably because that sub stance was typical either of the warmth or the strength of their affection. S'ill another couple were married in an obscure lane by an obscure preacher who only "happened along." Of course this was a premeditated affair, and wan arranged to give piquancy to the new re lati ui, ai d perhaps to give the gossips a chance to w-ng their tongues, for if there is any period in a woman's life when she dearly loves to e taiked about, it is when she leaves the spinsterhood and assumes the honor and dignity of matronage. But the queerest of all tastes exhibited by candidates for matrimony was that shown by a couple at Pittston, Pa., who very unnaturally, oik would think, chose a graveyard as the place for plighting their solemn vows. The Comet, after speaking of the arrival and mys terious movement of the pair and their two gentlemen attendants, says they left that vil lage shout midnight in a carriage for the cemetery. As soou as the carriage stopped, the four occupants got out and packed slowly aud solemnly to the gate, and preceded by two geu'lemen the lady hung upon the arm of another, and in this way the 6'ingular quar tet moved forward among the tomb-bordered pa" lis to a distant part of the cemetery. Here they halted directly in front of a grave, at the head of which stood a white marble cross. Pre.eutly the lady and her companion sepa rated, each taking a position on opposite fides of the grave, and near the center. Then they joined hands. At the same time tin two who were left took po sitions one at the head the other at the foot of the grave, each facing the other. At this . fc. VI 1 .

The service was a short one, tind the scene most singular and impressive. This is the latest phase of the romantic in matrimony. It may be tbt the service, per formed with such ghastly surroundings, will be the prelude to a bright and happy married life, but one would imagine otherwise. In their happiest moments, the grim specter of 0 death w ill be very apt to interpose, and sur round them and their belongings with a fune real gloom sad'y unsuited to the relation.

The action of the President in the Tex as difficulty has been universally satisfac tory, iven tli Uemocratic and ".Liberal" journals commend it. Fortunately the facts are undisputed. The Legislature of lexas passea an election law. it was ap proved by Governor Davis and by all parties, and an election wa3 held in pur suance ot It, which resulted in a large uemocratic majority. Alter the election the Supreme Court of the State declared the law to be unconstitutional, and there upon the Governor issued a proclamation warning the persons elected not to assume their functions, and, supposing that they would not heed him, he called upon the President for troops. The President re plied: "Th call Is not made In accordance with the Constitution of the United Stales and the acts of Congrena under if. and cannot, therefore, be grant ed. Tbe act of the Letcislar are of Texas, provid ing for the recent election bavin received yonr approval, ana doiq political parlies navtng made nominations and bavlnir Conducted a ooliucal campaign under its provisions, would it not be prudent as well as right to yielrt to tbe verdict of tbe people as expressed by their ballo sf" governor Uavis anil his mends have done what the Southern rebels did in 1SC0. They took part in an election, and tnen ret used to abide by the result. ine action ot the President is character istic. He is severely criticised for much mat ne aoes, out he has never shown a disposition to stretch or strain his consti tutional prerogatives. Iu the Louisiana case he earnestly requested Congress to act, and acted himself only when some action was imperative. He has been ac cused .of acting wrongly, but it can not be truly said said that he showed any wish to act at all, certainly none to act uncon stitutionally. In the present instance his reply is full of quiet good sense, and dis poses of the subject. It has been said that it is shocking to think that he might have interfered and have set aside the undoubted will of the j eople of Texas. But it is always possible for a State court to declare an election law unconstitution al, and for a Governor to hold with it and appeal for help to Washington. If the authorities there should act as requested, the will of the people of a State might be set aside. But all this would be within the forms of the Constitution. And it i undeniable that a government may be overthrown under its own forms, as" that of the old republic of Rome was, and as the rebels hoped to overthrow ours. The security against such efforts is the virtue and loyalty of the people. The Constitu tion authorizes the Government to protect a State atraiust rebellion upon the appli cation of the Legislature, or of the Gov ernor when the Legislature can not be convened. Congress therefore must de. USEFUL AND SUOGESTIYE. To Keep Gum Arabic Dissolve it in as little cold rain water as possible, then add alcohol. This preserves it. Hickort Nut-Cake.'

A rajr carpet should not be wnslied as long as it can be avoided. It eoils much easier after being once washed, besidesr fading.

Make a gravy with butter, pepper and salt, mixed with the bread crumbs. Any part of the veal, al most, cut in small pieces, may be dressed in the same way. I his dish must be thoroughly done to be good. Nctritive Value ok Black Tea. Tea is not only to be considered as a stimu lant, but also as nourishment. That peo ple who use tea are able to live longer and oo more work, on an insufficient amount of food, than those who abstain irom the beverage, is attributed to its power ot preventing the waste of the body, and in the animal economy mav be compared to tne financial proposition tnat a "penny saved is twice earned, rrom the large amount of nitrogen it contains, it may also be considered, to a certain extent, a direct means ot nourish ruent. A Vogel has thought it worth his while to determine how much of this ni trogen is employed in the infusion. The tea examined gave 6 6 per cent, ash, and 2o 5 of extract, which was found to con tain 2 8 per cent, nitrogen, while the par tially exhausted leaves contain 3.5a per cent, from this it would seem that, un less we contrive to devote the whole leaf. we lose the larger portion ot the nitrogen ,xcnar,ge. Raising a Crop of Carrots. Every person who cultivntes only a few acres ot ground should raise a lew hun dred uustieis oi carrots, bucu roots are excellent for stock of all kinds. A few quarts fed daily, in connection with grain or cut food teed, will promote the health of a horse far better than oats alone. Carrots contain an acid called .pectine. tue gelatinizing principle ol certain vege tables, which, acting upon the contents of the animal's stomach, greatly assists the process of digestion. Hence carrots are valued very highly as food for horses on the city 6tage and railroad lines, and the healthy appearance and sleek coats of their horses are due to the use of this vegetable as much as to the efficient grooming which they daily receive. V hen fed on grain and hav alone horses do not generally digest their food well, much ol it being voided in a whole state. liy the use ot carrots this difficulty is en- tirelv obviated, from 000 to 800 bushels of carrots can be easily raised on an acre. and we have known 1,000 bushels to be produced on a good soil by manuring liberally with 6uper-phosphate or well rotted birnyard manure, and cultivating the crop continuously, so as to keep the ground free from weeds. One good mode of cultivation is to throw tbe land into ridges two feet apart with a double mould board plow, and to rake on the top of these ridges with an iron tooth rake. All lumps, stones, roots, and grass will thus be raked into the forrows. and a mellow seed bed left for the easy passage of the seed drill. If 300 pounds of super-phos phate are scattered along the ridges he- ore sowing the seed, it will be worked into the soil by the seed drill, and materi ally stimulate the early growth and hasten the maturity ot the plant. it will be labor lost to attempt to raise a crop of carrots where the ground is not in an excellent state of fertulity. Mellow ground is desirable; but the soil must be rich as well as mellow, or a paying crop cannot be produced. JS. x. Herald. Watering Cattle In Winter. Next to warm shelter and good feed, the proper watering ot cattle should be attended to. No farm animals will do well if only watered once a day. It is true that animals which are driven to some frozen pond and watered through holes cut in the ice will seldom in cold weather drink more than once a day, for the simple reason that they must be suf fering from thirst to be induced to drink at all; but this does not, by any means. prove the economy of this system of wa tering, but rather the reverse, l o prove it, let the stock owner himself get down and drink this thoroughly-chilled water. The evidence of danger to the system win be apparent. If there are but few animals to be wa tered, it is but little labor to do the work. since the water for a dozen or twenty cat tle can be pumped in about the time the cattle will drink it. If a large herd be kept, a simple wind-mill, pumping into an underground cistern p raced upon an eminence and connecting by means of un derground pipes with the trough in the yard at a less elevation, will suffice to supply any number of cattle and other stock. The outlay, other than the first expense, will be but small. It this be impracticable, a tank may be built of suf ficient elevation, and enclosed so that it shall be practically frost proof, when it will work day and night, V inter and Summer, when the wind blows, (and when does it not in the West?) and will repay its cost, every year, where a considerable herd is to be watered. For years, we had such a mill that fur nished water from a fifty feet well, which supplied the house, 500 to 600 swine, twelve horses and ten cows, besides fur nishing water for the green-house and hot beds of over 600 sashes, which latter alone, in the Spring, used to require the work ot one man with a hose to water. We simp ly state this to show the amount of water a god sized mill will pump. The great advantage of this system of watering is, that the water may be carried in common iron gas pipes whenever you want, and the water is never thoroughly chilled, so as to distress stock in drinking. Consequently they take it ju9t when they want it, and usually in small quantities at a time. They are thereby saved the ague chill that usually occur"" after the period ical filling up under the system as prac ticed by too many of our farmers. There is no doubt that, with proper watering and warm shelter in winter, all farm animals would come out from twenty-five to fifty per cent, better than they now do. We have proved this proposition to oui perfect satisfaction by experience in fat tening cattle. The proposition will hold good with other stock. Iiwill pay to give farm stock first, warm shelter; second, plenty of good forage; and third, but not least, water to drink at will, certainly twice a day, and then never chilled to the freezing point. Our correspondent, -i. w. L., ot ueia- I from wells, and in the winter time they experience considerable difficulty by the accumulation of ice around the trough. Many times cattle, even though very dry will go away without drinking rather than venture on such a slippery place to get water. I have a very simple and cheap remedy: Take an armful or two of straw, scatter it over the ice, and sprinkle over it some water, which soon freezes fast, and the remedy is complete." Wettem IturaL Telegraphy. The annual report of the Western Union Telegraph Company for the year ending June 3Jth, 1873, which was published during the early part of the late panic. attracted less attention than it would have otherwise received, less tbbn its im portance demanded. Although this com pany is a private corporation, managed and controlled by a tew large stock holders solely as a money-making affair, yet there are few matters entrusted to the General Government of greater general interest. There is necessarily entrusted to it the most important correspondence. both mercantile and hnancial. A. large banking business is transacted by its bureau for the transfer of money. Prices in all the principal marts of the country for all articlesjot merchandise are regulated by the daily reports from its commercial bureau. In connection with the Associated Press, it collects. collates, and furnishes to the daih' papers all over the country their telegraphic dispatches, the most impor tant news they publish, the first and often the only part of the paper read. It has become the educator of the people, and its influences is daily extending, until it has become essential to the success of manv departments of business. It has over 150,000 miles of wire stretching along everj rail way and reaching every important place. Its annual receipts are neariy $10,000,000, a larger amount than the Postoffice De partment received ten years ago. A cor poration wielding such immense power is not a private company; but one in which every citizen has a direct and per- sonal interest. The average rate of messages hus been reduced in six years from $1 10 to 61 cents and the business has been doub'ed. This great reduction in rates has been followed by a slight increase in the net income ot the company. The average rate is still much higher than in any other country, and so high as to prevent the use of the telegraph by any except the rich and those compelled to use it. The report says that heretofore the com petition from rival lines has been the most potent cause in operation for com pelling the company to reduce iu rates; but that it is now relieved from all fear from this service, as it has recently pur chased nearly all the opposition lines, and at the present rates " it is impossible for any competing company to realize profits, and all are believed to be operating at a loss, aod the time is not di&tant, therefore, when the company will v. . . ... : i , - t. . . . i . . . . uc miuuui a BUUKi.au 1 1 til competitor. r rom mis iranK and public statement it appears that a change will now be made in its policy, and that the public cannot expect iunner reduction in rates.

Admitting the general truth ot this proposituin.it yet does not apply to tue teiegrapn, ior the agencies now employed bv the Post-office Department tor.receiving and delivering letters would be used for the telegraphic letter, i he present clerks could perform auine omce business, thus greatly reduc ing the expenses, if the Postmaster-Gen eral was authorized to contract for the transmission of telegrams, as he now contracts for the transmission of the mails, at rates fixed by Congress. A bill lor the purpose of connecting tne teiegrapn wan the rost-ofne Depa t- ment authorizing the Postmaster-Generl to contract for the transmission of tele grams, was reported by committees of tne benate and House of Representatives at the last Congress. I his proposition. we presume, will come up for action the ensuing winter and we trust will be come a law. The rates fixed bv the bill are nearly 50 per cent, below present charges, while the length of the telegram is 80 per cent greater. Night telegrams will be transmitted at a still grea'er reduction. The charge of a te'egraphic letter of words sent by night 1,500 miles or less will be only 23 cents. Such low rates will make the telegraph a public blessing, bring it within the reach of all. and enable the ptess to establish new and independent news associations.

It is a melancholy fact, that American women have degen erated iu point of health and physique, until they have become literally a face ol invalids. How sad it is to look around us and compare the frail and effeminate looking lady of to-day with the hale. hearty and buxom ladies of days gone by. To all such the la'e discovery of Dit. T v r . r i , - . i njiLAtK, vi i .hi norma, wmco is buuwo as Vinegar Bitters, i3 a priceless boon indeed. For this class of diseases it is cer tain and safe, and any lady, old or young, can take it with entire confidence in the result, and thus avoid what to thousands is a stumbling block never overcome, viz. a consultation with a family physician. 'lis true there may oe cases ot years' standing, that will necessitate more pow erful treatment, but in nine cases out or ten this remedy will reach the disease, and after a little time effect a cure. The number of ladies cured by it are num bered by thousands, and are scattered through every State in the Union. 2G Treating the Wrong Disease. M"ny times Women call upon their family phyi-kians, one with dy-pepsia, another with palpitation, another with trouble of tbe hreast. another with pain here and there, and in this wy tney all present hukc to tnemseives and their easy-going and indifferent doc-torn, st-pa-rate and distinct disease-, f--r which he pre scribes bis pill and potions, assuming them to be such, when, in reality, l hey are all symp toms caused by some uterine dii-order; and while t bey are thus only able perhsp to pal liate for a time, they are ignorant of tbe cause, and en'-ourage thir practice until large bills are made, when the suffering patients ire no bettr in the end, but probably wore fur tie delay, treatment, and o'her compliea' mib made, and which a proper medicine- dirt '.-ted to the cause would h-ive entirely removed, thereby instituting health and comfit instead of prolonged misery.
