We are pained to statu that a :no>t t-.-rrili;- explosion oft powder occurred at the rc>id<*nc?; fit Mr. "William Wifeon, in this district, <>n Friday night last, hy which himself and his brother, Mr. Joel Wilson, wcio horribly burnt. Mr. W.Wilson had purchased three of powder in our city, on that day, one ol Tvllioh llA lf'ft ?t Ilia lirn* li/.r'c /->t> 1.:= Ii-m liomc. On arriving at his homo, lie placed the remaining two lcegs in his house, one of them, and was weighing some of tlie powder, in a tin bucket, when a spark lYom the file fell in the bucket, and from thence to the open keg, both of which immediately exploded, burning ootli the Mc>>rs. Wil son dreadfully in tlio head, f;we, and Mrs. Wilson gathered up her two little children (who were on the floor) and rushed into the yard with them, thereby saving them and perhaps herself from n sudden and horrible death. After leaving her children in the yard she ran into tlio house, and succeeded in getting her husband and brother-in-law out v. 01 ine nouse, not, however, before lior dress was much burnt, and her hands slightly scorched. v The second keg exploded almost immodi ately after she had left the house with hei -1 husband and brother, shattering the house ir several places. The Messrs. Wilson arc lying in a verj oritic&l situation, but very little hopes boinj entertained for their recovery.Mrflk "Wilson deserves much credit, for i was owing to her great presence of inhu thst the lives of l?cr husband, two ^children lier fcrother-in-law, and herself, were savei from instant death.?
