The bowing and courtesying of some of the young ladies in approaching or leaving their prey, was in some cases very laughable—one of the young wo- men actually dropping to her knees while so doing. There were many little scenes and incidents we might notice did space permit —but one statement we may make: the ladies did not escort the gentlemen home after the skate was over.

WILKESBARRE, Pa., Feb. 10. _ A violent explosion oceurred in the pack- ing house at Duport’s powder works at Wapwallou-on, four miles from here, to-day. Four men were instantly killed. The new Methodist church, dedicated last week, stood 300 feet from the explosion, and was completely wrecked. There were over two tons of powder in the building. There is no trace of the packing house left, not
even the foundation. The explosion was the most. violent that ever oc- curred in the Wyoming valley. lt took
place at 9.55 a.m. The force of the shock was distinctly felt here. The windows in buildings rattled, and officials in the court- house thought it was an earthquake as the building shook violently. At Nantecooke and Wanamie chimneys toppled from the roofs; school children ran in terror from schoollhiouses ; men and women flocked to- wards the mines, where they thought an explosion had happened, where members of families were at work at Shickshinny. The glass inalmost every window was broken, and many persons were thrown to the ground. At Wapwall it opened nearly every building and wrecked them Besides the four kill- ed, over forty persons are injured, fourteen of whom will probably die.

In tue Ice.—As a number of young men were returning to this city last night from a rand social near Southport, their horse got into a crack in the ice, aud one of his legs be- came so fastened in it that they were forced to come to town for axes and other appliances to cut him out. After much exertion they succeeded in doing so. The poor animal was over an hour in the ice, and is now hobbling in three legs. Young men be caretul.

The alarm was — sounded, and soon the engines and firemen 4s well as a oodly number of citizens were on the. scene. ‘he fire was located inthe upper flat, directly under the pressroom stove. The floor was quickly torn up, and by the application of a considerable quantity of water the fire was goon extinguished.

A curious and nove! method of saving life in certain cases of puisoning has been originated by Dr. Carlo Sanquirico, of Sienna. By largely increasing the volume af the blood, which can be done by inject- ing into the arterier saline solutions to the amount of about eight per cent, of the weight of the animal, the poisons are actually rinsed out and eliminated from the system. In this way the lives of dogs and guinca pigs were saved after being dosed with deadly amounts of strychnine, chloral, alcohol, aconitine, paraldehyde, caffeine and urethan. With certain other poisons, 4a morephine, curarine and nicotine, the method failed. Itis not at all impossible that this discovery may introduce an im- proved treatment, not only for cases of poisoning, but for certain diseases a «elo TERI

Every year brings forth new hopes for consumptive patients, and some eminent men think that the discovery of a remedy for this too comon disease is now but a matter of time. Garein has found that in- halation of air containing a small amount of hvydrofluvric acid gass has a remarkably good effect on consumptives. Of a hundred cases so treated 41 per cent, improved and 38 per cent, were cured, Hydrofluoric acid kills the bacilli of disease, and as phthisis is caused by the presence of these lower germs of life in the lungs, their de- struction removes the «ause of the disease. Hence, if the patient is not too far gone, it is reasonable to expect an improvement,

The fair sex owes still another debt to the scientist. A lady who had a mole on her shoulder and who. from this reason, was unable to display her otherwise fair and attractive corporeal possessions, has had an aloctrical operation peformed with perfect | success. The. mole was perforated with ‘electric needles in every direction. ~After 'e week the mule, which had been barnt to a black mass, fell off and left the skin in The ‘new skin shows hardly a trace of discoloration, and she now wears the most fashionable ball dresses with impunity and success.
