' In 1845 there Was a great . fire in New York, the loss being estimated at $17,000,000. It was the result cf an explosion in one : of the great warehouses in the lower part of the city. The question that vexed the scientific world for a long time was, "will saltpetre explode?' Now a fire is reported in Zanesville, Ohio, said to have been caused by the explosion of flax seed oil. Linseed oil is not classed among the explo sives. Cannot the scientist vindi cate its innocence?

The Weather Is hot for the mountains, but ex cept in the sun, would strike a stranger as pleasant enough. The highest range we have known this season was on yesterday in the shade a 2 p. m., when the mercury stood at 78. The differences, de pendent upon locality are very great. The change at night, every where, is great. Monday morning we noted our thermometer at 5 a. m ; it stood at 62. At the same place on Sunday at 2 p. in. it was at 82. The nights here are always pleasant, end iu the hottest weather at midnight the highest range is 70, and almost always at daybreak at 62 to .64 very rarely higher. This is the charm of the mountain climate, and marks the difference between it and that of the lowlands. Vanished Hopes. "Public Opinion" says : "According to Mr. Mookerjee, a Hindoo authority on pisiculture, the results of fish farming are re markable. Prof. Huxley has stated that an acre of land will produce in a year a ton of grain or two or three hundred-weight of meat. The same area of water, however, will yield a greater weight of fish in a week." Two or three years ago everybody was rushing into carp culture. Ev erybody was making ponds;. and ponds were made any and every where, on running water, or only where rainwater was caught; be tween hills, or on flats where basirs were dug out. Only water was needed, any kind of water, cold or warm, fresh or staguant; for the authorities said carp would live, thrive and multi ply anywhere. Every possessor of a carp pond was to have plenty of fish for his table, plenty to give away, plenty to sell. Some here in Ashe ville were . to supply .the market daily, w ith fresh, fat, fluttering fish; and there were as many calculations of rapid fortunes as made by the country maiden on her way - to market with the basket of eggs, on her head; tossing that head when she had made up her mind what the color the dre?s should be when her eggs were converted into money That toss cost her her eggs, and lost her dress; end one slight rois-cal-' culation cost the pisciculturists their fortunes. They somehow forgot that the fish had to eat; and supplying them nothing-, tbe stronger would prey on the weaker and smaller, and so there was no increase, no crowding of the ponds with big well grown fish, no dipping out at will each morning cart loads of fluttering beauties for the expectant market.- .

From tho Charlotte Chronicle of last nisfht, we clip the following ac count of the accident oiv the -Virginia Midland railroad, which has been "briefly noticed in these col umns before . .'The Richmond & Djnville traic due here from Washing at 12:35 p. m. last fcunduy, did not arrive until 9 p. m. The delay was cuustd by the wreck of the Louis villo express. a train composed of VirginiaMid- laud and Chesapeake & Ohio cars, which run over the Virginia Midland line from vvashington th Charlottes ville. The train flew the track when rbun ling a curve near Fairfax court homc-and everything went down the embankment, save the rear sleeper. The engine fairly flew into tae air and was torn all to pieces ; the baggage car w.-.s shivered to at oms; the seoond class Car was crushed out of all shape, the trucks and floor ot the tint class car were broken up and the forward end of thn Bleeping car next to the first class coach was crushed in like an eggshell. The rear sleeper remained on the track and was uninjured. Four people were killed , outright, and twenty-seven passengers were injured, more or less. The man who were killed were the engineer, tire- man, baggageman, and a telegraph operator who was riding on the en gine. I heir names could not be learned, but all, except the opera tor, were Chesapeake & Ohioem p.oyes. . .: :" ' . Mr. K. A. Lee, ot this city, was on the first train that passed "by the wreck, and he says that it was a most terrible sight, and the wonder is that there was not a greater loss of life The train was crowded with people, there being sixty passengers in one coach - alone. The accident occurred SaturJay evening ut 7 o' clock. The cause is not known, but it is believed that an obstiucticn had been placed on the track. Secretary Whitney, with hi3 wife and daughter. Miss; Pauline Whit ney, were on the wrecked train. They.were in the. rear sleeper and were uninjured. After the wreck they went to Milborough, Va."

"' The site was fixed upon as com manding the ." two- streams which reach , the tunber supplies lying along the banks far back into Jack son, and Macon counties one a go in position to use the timber lying among the Nantahala mountains, through which the river of that name rushes, but which is available during high water for passing down logs. The location derives its available value from the railroad which passes by the mill door, aud furnishes the transportation indis pensable for operations. Tbe country around in a wilder ness of mountain and forest, and the settlements are few and small. The mountains crowd down closely and precipitately to the water side, leav ing only a narrow run for the pas suge of the railroad; and on the Tennessee, near the junction, a belt from fifty to seventy five yards in widdi; and on this, tbe mill and its adjuncts find a narrow footing. The mill is tl e most complete of its kind we htve ever visited. When Capt Gc Invited us to wulk into the "uiiil room" we thought the name a somewhat ambitious one to apply to a saw mill floor, usually encum bered with strips of refdse, slabs, sawdust heaps, and confusion of planks and logs and s.tws. But when we stepped on the well planed floor, and looked up at the broad, clear, truss roof, and saw the admirably arranged carriage tracks, and the perfect machinery, bright and clean, disposed as if in an ex position building, we yielded very submissively to the .correctness of Capt. Gee's de8criptiye name of the "mill r(oom.VH is one hundred feet lontftind- fifty wide; the "roof is a metal one, upheld by trusses so that the eye encounters no obstruction through the the presence of upright supports. The machinery is run by steam, an engine of 175 horse power giving motion to the saws. A bat tery of three steel boilers each 28 feet long generates the steam. There are two saws, one band, the other circular, the former constituting a nine foot band mill, the saw, im ported French blade, being 58 feet long and 10 inches wide. Besides the saws, there is a gang edger for cutting out defective heart lumber, and a saw for equalizing the length of lumber, and in fact all the appa ratus neede 1 for a perfect mill, such as this is. Between the mill and the river is the basin, dug out with great labor, supplied with water by a canal 24 feet wide and 2.000 leet long, at the head of which U the boom, at which the logs from aoove are caught and floated down to the slip. Extending from the mill along, and parallel with, the railroad track is a platform for assorting lumber, with track for loading. This is to be extended farther up the river. Another canal is to be cut on the Tuckaseegee side to float the logs from that stream into the basin. In addition to tbe supply of tim ber by water, the railroad brings a large quantity; and all the lumber is taken away by rail, though com plaint is made t insufficiency of transportation. During the past season about one million feet were snipped; and at present there are about three quarters of a million feet in the yard, chiefly poplar and ash. The market for this is mostly in the New England States, vith Occasion ally large orders far car; building purposes . from Pennsylvania and Baltimore. An order for the car -wjorks of the North Carolina railroad, at Burlington, amounting to 250 thousand feet, was recently received, and also a large order for the Ashe ville Furniture Works. . At present," owing to the tetting away of the boom by a freshet, the mill is idle, hut the work of repair is goinj on rapidly. , J ; The working force in and around the mill is thirty, and the logout" ting force about the same. ; The mill men are mostly Ohio men, skilled workmen, and work with a system, a. judgment and a vim that is much at variance with the easy, indolent, and usually shiftless southern way, Capt M. A. Gee ia the yery em bodiment of every qualification needed in his position. Physically, he is strong, active and capable of incredible endurance; mentally, he is quick in his judgment, prompt in his decision, inflexible ia his con clusions, pleasant and courteous in manner, but firm and determined in purpose; a man to carry out bis will, and not be trifled with when he has made up his mind. He is also intelligent,; and exceedingly companionable.

But they have come to stay; and their surroundings are certainly now more pleasant than they have been. Grand J'nry Discharged. Yesterday morning, at 10 o'clock, the grand jury of the Superior court filed into' the court ; room, and Gaston, miormed ms iionor Judge pass 1 tu a t this term of couit. His Honor thereupon made a few remarks, in. which he ; dwelt upon the fact that it was a remarkable oc curence, to find a county so pppu-i lous as Buncombe Q free from vio lent crime of whatsoever descrip? tion, that its grand inquisitors should find; uothiug .to act upon He therefore discharged the grand jory until text Tuesday morning, at which time they are again to re port to the court and again bs dis charged, providing no breach of the law shall have been committed dur ing the interim. This is a remarkable record for Buncombe aud one that reflects great credit upon our people, regard ing their observance of tne morals and law4f our government. Off on a Pleasure Trip. Messrs.
