Mayfield, a citizen of the United States, aged about 2- years BLACKSMITH Shor Brown Up.—Yesterday morning the blacksmith shop of Mr. Robert Wood, at bis juarry, om the canal, opposite Deane’s Foundry, was blown up, andtwo ne- groes Mog f hurt, one of them, it is supposed, fatally. From whai we could gather of the facts, it appears that @quantity ot powder Whs kept in @ bag in the shop, and when the negroes commenced work yesterday they tarled to cover it @p as Usual, SO as to be out ot danger. Very soon after they began work, and while hammering a red hot piece of iron, the explosion occurred, the powder, it is sup- posed, being ignited by & piece of the heated irendetached by the hammering. Only two persons were in the shop, both colored, one of Whom, named Israel, was seriousiy, and it is ‘bought fatally injured. The other man, whore name we couid not learn, was also badly hurt, but it is believed will recover. The building. which was wood, was literally blown to atoms by the force ef the explosion.
