Wgk 1 Hreseot jjears much attention has ' ^WP8^'-^ naturalists to examining' H^Hftornachs of various bird3 In order to ? pertain the character of their food. In i&Pfose of most water fowls a percentage of ^seeds' and roots of aqnatio plants has . "been found. A subject well worthy of ^consideration is whether the migratory ?vih8tinei3 of all water fowl is not partially ^utilized to carry these seeds and roots to points far distant from one another, which could not be reached by water cnr?"nts,; thuai performing the part.for ^water--p|antt that air currents do for ter ?'festrialgrowths. Some birds, such as snipe, sand pipers, ;?:yellow legs, plover, dovopi large quanti ? . ties of beetles and worms injurious to ; shore and shallow waier plants. They also assist in the transporting of seeds from place to place.

Mr. Josh Proctor, a well known resi? dent of Columbus, arrived in the city on. the Pennsylvania train at midnightf He was an eye witness te the terrible affair, and gave a very vivid account of the explosion-. The gentleman was still suffering from the effects of his expe ieace and trembling visibly when talking. "I hardly know how . I can deecrible the awful occurrenco. X am still dazed from the effects of the shock. I was visiting a friend near King's mill, and during the afternoon had sauntered up the road to the cartridge factory. I in? spected it thoroughly arid chatted with some of the workmen for quite a while. When a freight train came along I star? ed towards my friend's house, which is over the hill overlooking the worts. In reaching the top of the hill I turned around just as the freight train was mak? ing a ' running switch to side track. I saw-abrakeman on one of the cars as they shot on to the sidetrack, and he was waving his hand to some one on the train. "As I looked I saw two detached care bump against what I supposed was an empty car on the side track. An instant later there was a rumbling noise, and then the very ground beneath me seemed to open. 18aw a puff of smoke, followed a second later by'another, and the cars disappeared, the station and powder house and dwelling seemed to follow, and the : work "of destruction had only just commenced. "All this occurred quicker than I can relate it, and I stood rooted to the ground. I had" an idea, of course, of what occurr? ed, but I could not realize it. I knew that many lives were going out, but I was powerless to lend any assist? ance': Then de:ose volumes of flame and Btnoke came pouring from the doors and windows of the cartridge factory, and I saw men, women and children tearing at each* other in their frantic endeavors to esoape. '?'?The explosion and fire at the cartridge house seemed to be simultaneous. The building did not seem to catch on fire in the ordinary way, but the flames seemed to penetrate the doors and windows from fill sides. I saw a number of women come out, but some certainly perished in the flames. A dwelling house below the cartridge house was blown from its foundation and dashed to pieces. In this building a mother and ? child lost their Uvea. How long I stood I do not know, hut I managed to make my way to the scene, and others in the neighbor? hood were also gathering. "The scene was one of the most awful I ever" witnessed. Railroad tracks were twisted.and torn like so much paper and telegraph poles and wiree were burned like so much tinder. "A carload of coal about-sixty feet distant caught fire and burned up: We got to work as soon as possible, and I know we got fully a dozen women and men from the powder house. There was not one but was injured br bruised. They seemed to be oblivious of their surroundings, and I do not think they realized what had occurred. Some were burned and others were cut and bruised by the force of the explosion. "To add to the terrible scene, there was a constant snapping of cartridges, and the rescuers were in danger of being killed at any time. I do not want anoth? er such experience as long as I live, and I hope I may never witness another such a catastrophe. I don't know how many were killed, but I am of the opinion that at least ten lost their,lives. The number of wounded will be double that num bei." ^ Bncklen-'s Arnica Solve The best salve in the world for Cuts Bruises, Sores, Ulcers, Salt Rheum, Fe? ver Sores, Tetter, Chapped Hands, Chil? blains, Corns, and all Skin Eruptions, and positively cures Piles, or no pay required'.

The rule is that unconsciousness, not pain, attends the final act. A natural death is not more painful than birth. Painlessly we come, whence we know not. Painlessly we go; where we know not. .Nature, kindly provides an aesthetic for the body when the spirit leaves it. Previous to that moment, and in prepara? tion for it, respiration becomes feeble, generally slow and short, often accompa? nied by long inspirations, and short, sudden expiration, so that the blood is steadily less and less oxygenated. At the same time the heart acts with correspon? ding debility, producing a slow, feeble, and often irregular pulsa. As this pro? cess goes on the blood is not only driven to the head in diminished force and in less quantity, but what flows there is loaded with carbonic acid gas, a powerful ? anaesthetic, the same as derived from char? coal. Subjected to the influence of this -gas the nerve centers lose consciousness and sensibility, apparent sleep creeps over the system ,* then comes stupor and then the end.?St. Louis Republic. . Spaf.tanbup.g, S. C, July 10.?A hor? rible accident, resulting in the death of a worthy young man, occurred at the saw mill of Cash <Sc Moore, near Cowpens, this county. Mr. Moore, aged about 17 years, a brother of W. A. Moore, a lead? ing merchant at that; place, was helping to load some planks on a wagon, when one fell. To avoid being struck, Mr. Moore threw one leg backward and the foot, striking the saw in motion, he was pulled down over it and fearfully cut. The left leg was cut off just above the knee, and the right cut off between the knee and the ankle. The saw next lacerated the left arm and cut it off just above the elbow. Mr. Moore next falling with his right side to the saw, it lacerating his right arm and threw him off in front ?f it. Medical aid was promptly summoned, but the unfor? tunate man died in a few hour?.
