At Loretto, the 8th was celebrated in a very spirited manner. The Allegheny Infantry were on parade, subject
to the orders of the brave and veteran Captain Schnetberg and his gallant Aids: They presented a very fine
appearance, if not finer. After performing various maneuvers in the presence of the assembled crown the
company adjourned to the store of Lieut. Little. They organized by appointing Patrick Braniff President,
Henry Schnetberg and Sebastian Fry, Vice Presidents. On motion the assembly was briefly addressed by
Sergeant H.C. Kaylor, in a style peculiarly anunating, and appropriate to the occasion. The preliminary
arrangements and speechifying concluded, the following toasts were read &c.

Accident.
On Tuesday last, Mr. Daniel T. Jones residing about three miles south of this borough, had two horses
instantly killed by the falling of a tree. His little boy was driving them through the woods at the time
the accident occurred. The horses were killed instantly, although the boy was but slightly injured.
Awful Calamity.
One of the most melancholy and heartrending accidents occurred at the Summit on Thursday morning last, that
we have ever been called upon to record. The dwelling house of Mr. Ignatius Adams was totally destroyed by
the explosion of twelve kegs of gun powder, which he had stored in one of the rooms, by which his wife was instantly killed, and Demetrius A. Lucket, Miss Martha Lucket, Miss --- [as listed in article] Mahon, a German named Hoover and a c hild of Mr. Adams, was burned and mangled in a most shocking manner. Mr. Adams, although present, was but slightly injured. Demetrius A. Lucket and the German have both since died. There are slight hopes of the two young ladies and the child surviving.
The explosion occurred about six o'clock in the morning. The powder was ignited by the German, Hoover, who
had went into the room where it was deposited for the purpose of procuring some of it with which to blast
stone coal. In extinguishing the candle which he carried in hand, it is supposed that he blew a spark into
the powder. As many be supposed, by the explosion of so large a quantity of powder, the house was total
ruin, and it is said those who witnesses it, that the scene presented was one of the most heart-rending
description. It was with considerable difficulty that the sufferers were extricated from the mass of
ruins.
The wife of Mr. Adams, Demetrius A. and Miss Martha Lucket were all the children of John Lucket, Esq., of
Washington township, who has the sympathies and sincere condolence of his numerous friends in this his severe affliction. The sufferers were all respectable members of society, and in the prime of life, and this sad occurrence which has befallen them has cast a deep gloom over the whole community.
Mrs. Adams was buried on Friday last, and her funeral was attended by a very large concourse of people.
