Becoming tired of the work lie conceived the Idea of narttiff dyna­ mite on n large scale. A few days ago he invited his neighbors to witness the simultaneous blowing but of forty acres of fctnnaps. Holes had been drilled and cartridges inserted in every Stump, and the cartridges connected by wire3 with an electric battel y. On the word being given the electric cur­ rent was put on. The work of explo­ sion was satisfactory, every stump "be­ ing blown to atoqis. Some of the" fragments were driven 300 feet. This simultaneous process might be of great advantage in such work as the running of a railroad through a new- country, or in other work in which time is of great consequence. The liability to accident would be less if the dynamite were used in this way tltaaif many 3 nail explosives were used." -AXD DEALER IN- WATCHES. JEWELRY; Silverware, &c. RICHMOND, t¥3'W Y'>:- T. J.
