Tho work in thia locality consisted chiaily in blosting rocks, for which purpose nitro-glycerine was used as & substitute for blasting powder, Last evening, at the hour already stated, one of the work- men, named Thomas Burns, carried a bucket of this explosive material into the blacksmith shop for the purpose of heating it. Being of a resinous, gummy quality it 1s necessary to reduce it by heat to a liquid state before it ts fit for use, Burns, it is stated, grasped @ red. hot frou, and with the view of expediting the pro- cess plunged it into the bucket, when im dn instant the unfortunate man, with ali the inmates of the building, wore blown away, aud of ihe house not a fragmént re- mained.
