Horrors of tke Indianapolis Disasterf The mails bring the details of tlie terrible effetJta of the explosion, of a boiler in tye jpida? of a crowd of men, women and; children, .at the Stdtb Fair fit Indianapolis, Indiana, on Friday of last week. It seems to be establisheJ that tho canse of tbe explosion was that thero waa but little W#tit in t,he boiler and the fines were greatly heated. Tbe scenes tbat followed tbe explosion were terrible. Where the engine stood there was no perceptible trace except an area of pmoked blackened ground. Tbe IndiavapoUa Jour mil says: To attempt to pen a p'cture of tbe scene were folly. Imagine lb,000 people, pallid with fear, rntbing ana crashing to and fro, impelled by a nameless something towft-d an indefinable object. Men bearing dead and wounded into the various balls; women shrtelqng and crying for fear thalr^usbands, anno aV kwAtkAM ?v*2^ - ?> ? ? v? pi v?UVI 9 UII^IIV OV the killed ; strong men oonvnlsed and in tears because temporarily separated from their wives and children, and in suspense as tr their Mfety. A large piece of the boiler, whifeh rrftret fravo weighed 600 pennd*. was carried to a distance of 100 jards. One smaller piece was thrown clear into the time track, and skipping over it buried itself in ^the sod beyond. Another large piece wis thrown westward, dear over the dyke upon the cattle pen. In almost eve ry direction smal'-er pieces of th? machinery Were thrown, and the air was literally full of splinters bolts, screws, nuts, pieces of rods and such of the lighter portions o1 the engine. Innumerable are the stories told ot how deadly missile* alighted just in frontof the people, arrested by a gracious Providence in their deadly flighL The follow ing ar& Among the horrible incidents of the caUptrophe; A man walking in front of the Exc6u$ita headquarters .was startled at seeing the 6ktfff of, a man drop jh front of htm, the flesh ac tually scalded off the bones, bnt the eyes and teeth still, romainin in their sockets and jaws. SeverA] vartlfl from fli/k W J ? ? vui i HO VJVOWJIU1 W found a pair oi legs, held together by the merest shred oi flerh. At one place was the headier trunk of a man : at another was the leg of a woman, with hef boot and stocking and a part of her drawers 6till upon it;*the arm of a man was driven into a popla1 board ; while not far from Power Hall was seen the body of a inau so horri bly mutilated that hfs heart, stomach, liver and lank* could readily be seen. Wlidft first discovered, bis heart was still palpitating, and the motion oi the organ was plainly observod. In the AgrFSHtturdf. Hall were lying folVf bodies, a jumbled, al most unrecognizable mass of charred, roasted and scalded humanity. Mr. John E. Foudary, with a friend, was sitting in a carriage on tho East side of Power Hall. They both saw a piecoofthe boiler coming toward them, when Mr. Foudary's,friend pushed him aside, and itlid dfeiWIy troh itttbedtjed itself in the gronnd not three feet behind hjta. The scalp of a man was found" near the stairway to the am 1 ?! - ? - pimucaire. a mother and three children were standing in a group near the boiler.' The mother was instantly killed, and two of the children badly scaldod. The third dftaped uninjured. A gentlomaq and lady were walking by with locked arms. The gedtfowftti was killed and the lady uninjured. Quite a number of persons were thrown to the ground with considerable force, inany of whom were picked up in an insensible condition. A baby wagon was struck by a piece of the flying iron, and the wagon utterly demolished, but the child in it left unhurt. A piece of tbe boiler was'blown into the cattle shed 200 yards, where it passed through tbe root and knocked the tipe o> the horns of the mammoth ox, but doing him no other injury. Mr. ?. A. Vinton and bis daughter were fitting in a buggy about fifty yards away, looking at the running of the mills, when a piece of the boiler struck the horse, killing him instantly, and upsetting the buggy, throwing both of the ocoupauts out, hut doing them no serious harm'; A piece of a man's heed, sin wi H g a part of (tie forehead, the n??e and left aide of ^he f uye, the hair ; and whiskqre ysry black, slightly* tinged with grey; was found near the Executive office. One of P. L. Davie* arm# blown over 100 yards from the place where he tell dead. Hie body was otherwise terribly mutilated. In a Inmber pile, near the place where the boiler stood, were found some of the remains of a man liter ally wadded into the instertices between thq planks. One woman, inquiring for her husband, asked one of the reporters if his name was npon the list of killed. It was, but the man coijd not summon the courage to tell the poor bereaved wife, and he put her off with an evasion. At the undertaker's, the scene ! was terrible. In the beck yard and rear shops, npon rude planks and benches, were stretched the I dead. The mutilations were fear, fnl, and cannot fitly be described. I Blackened and begrimed, dnsty t and bloody, with protruding eye( balls, lolling tongues and clenched j bands, tlie dfe'ad lay, silent but fearful witnesses*, calling for a prompt, n thorough and fearless investigation of the disaster of which they are the fearful relics. Tit* other evening, in our 44 pri. vnte crib," there was a learned dissertation?snbiect, "Bed-bugs, > and their remarkable tenacity of i life." One asserted ot his own ( knowledge that they could be , boiled and coine to liie. Some had I soaked them for hours in turpen5 tine, without any fatal consci quence. Old Hanks, who had ( been listening ni an outsider, here ! gave in his experience in corroboration of the facts. Says he? . "Some years ago, I took a bed , bug to an iron foundry, and drop , ping it into a la- le whero the melted iron was, had it run into a skillet.

Impo tant Conversion to Cath oi.icism.?We learn on authority which we are forced to regard as unquestionable that the Rev. James Kent ?tone, D. D., late President of Hobart College (Episcopalian,) at Geneva, N. "i ., has unqualifiedly declared his renunciation of the tenets of the Protestant Episcopal .Church and his conversion to Catholicism. The announcement will 1 occasion no little surprise amonp those of the Doctor's friends, who know how zealous he has labored in the cause with which he has so long been identified.

Not enjoyment and not sorrow is our destined end or way, but to act that each to-morrow find us nearer marriage day. Life is long and youth is fleeting, and our hearts, though light and gay, still, like pleasant dreams, and beating wedding marches all the war. In the world's broad field of battle, in the bivouac of life, be not like dumb driven cattle?tie a be roine?a wife. Trust no future, howe'er pleasant, let tbe dead past bury its dead! act, act to tbe living Dreaent! heart within and hnme ahead. Lives of married folks remind us we ean live our lives as well, and departing leave behind us such examples as UiXtf u tell." Such examples that another, wasting time in idle sport, a forlorn, unmarried brother seeing shall take heart and *onrt.

A little resolution has,, won, within man's own will, victories more sublime and imperishable than those of Trafalgar, or Waterloo. u Man is an almanac of self ?a living record of his own deodf/' A}*, and let us say of his own thoughts, too. Every cross look and harsh word in the presence of chttd is indelibly impressed on the register of its inner and. it is becanse of this, that we invite the attention of parents to the power everted on character by gentlewords. wliip a child and it imitates your action in fightjng the ' cat, do<*, and even the clja'irsj and gonerallv its brother or sistor. This is the working of an unseen power in harmony with the laws which govern our nature ; the influence which mind gives to mind is invisible and unconscious, but not less a fact. How imtiortant then, that parents should be gentle, kind and considerate with little ch ldren. A Oor/iNiAi. paper tells a story of a sentry wlio was placed ou grrtO'd* to watch a certain post?
