Death or two Tourlnts In of Vc-inlui. the Crater 7" . , , The JtecMa of Naples contains the following account ol the lovs oi two , gentlemen in the crater of VoMivius, who, with great temerity, Insisted on being lowered down to the dark cavern Immediately below the orifice of the crater: " A party formed to iwond .Mount Vesuvius on Friday afternoon, in the Cafe do Europe. Tho party con sisted of two Americans, three Eng lishmen nnd one Frenchman. On Sunday Hight they took carriages from the enfo for lteMnn, reaching there nt 1 1 :30 p. in. I laving procur ed horses, guides nnd other necesi ries, they started for tho ascent, ono Lulgi Oaroglo lending as cicerone, and arrived nt tho bae of the upper most cone, further than which horsce do not go. The tourists then began tho ascent over tho hillocks nnd boul ders of Invn until the vicinity of the crater was reached, when Mcrs. James "Wilcox and Francois I.eMIeur, an American and a Frenchman, in--Istcd on being lowered down to the cavern which is formed below tho mouth of the volcano. The guttles, who provide thems-elvo" with ropes for thnt puriose, compiled with the request of the foreigners, and lower ed them down. Tho mountain being perfectly quiet, no danger was antic ipated, but when ono of tho party above tho crater called out to tho rash adventurors, no answer M'ns re turned. Tho guides, growing anx ious, cried, " Gentlemen, It would bo better for you to hold on to tho ends of tho rope"." Still tho ropes remained slack, and no answer canie from the sulphurous uud murky cav ern below. Tweuty minutes paed,' andjthc ndveuturers werci'et ailent.

The fol- lowing particulars of tho nllhlr arc from tho New York Sttii : Yesterday at noon tlvo hundred pounds of nltro-glyeerlno exploded near tho lino of the New York nnd Boston Jtallroad, In YonkcrM, killing ucorge Hill, aged twenty-one, nntl .'lll'IHIll ItllllilKlllT, UITIM SIXll'L'Il , I mortally wounding John Donnelly, aged nineteen, nnd seriously Injuring' William Terry, aged twenty-one. jsinstiug uas doom going on in Hint I vicinity of late, nnd ns a great amount rluc has been dlspositcd nt dlU'oront points for use when wanted. Hill, i Chillagher, Donnolly and Terry while out gunning, found Ave cans contain ing one hundred pounds each. A pit about four'feet deep had been dug, and tho cans placed in the excavation. A strong fence had been built mound It, and on nil sides were placards bear ing the words, " Danger," " llcwiue," "Nitro-Ulycerlne." . The boys walked mound the fence ! commenting upon the Improbability of danger from such hnrmless looking ean, and Hill proposed that a" It was Evacuation Day, they should create some fun by smashing the can". The , others readily consented, nnd all four clambered to tho top of a large rock, about fifty feet above the glycerine, nnd rolled a "tone weighing about fif ty pounds, to t lie edge ol the rock, Hill t mui (lallagher proposed to tumble It Into the pit. Terry said the darned i thing might strike fire nnd blow tho stun up. Jilli laugiiiugiy snni, " i.ei her blow: we'll have some fun any way." Terry eclzed Donnelly by the arm, and running away about two hundred feet, they hid behind u largo tree, nt the sumo time Jeered by Hill and (.'nllaghcr. Hill then rolled tho j stone down. It struck tho can", and the explosion wns heard ami felt for ten miles around. Trees, stones and great chunks of earth were hurled in every direction. Tho lock where Hill ' auiKfallaghcr stood, wolghlng hiui-; dreds of tons, was blown Into frag ment". Tho ground wns blown up hundreds of feet around. A llrst class earthquake could not have created I greater havoc. Every pane of jilass In . houses for miles around was shuttered, ' and the Inmates were terrllled. The explosion was heard in White Plains, i lurry town, iremont, uiiiiibioii Heights nnd even over In New Jersey. "Workmen from tho railroad hurried to tho scene, well knowing what had happened. They found Terry and Dounolly with their clothing stripped from their bodies, lying about two hundred feet from the scene of the ex plosion, groaning in agony. Donnol ly's body was badly lacerated. His legs and one arm Were broken, his body was black and blue, and one eye was gone. Ho was mortally wounded. Terrv was tho least, hurt, and will probably recover. He Is tho only one cft to ivo ny account of the aflulr, when the smoke had cleared away. , SMrcl. ...H 11Mdofor Hill and Clalla- 'i. ininu ,,in,iu..-..ri.

The excitement In honkers, and In fact throughout the eutlro uelghbor- 'ool, was U'rrille. AllsorW oreoiiject- ores were mvaiueii as ioic explosion. Rome Insisted that Hell Onto had blown up, while others thought there had been an earthmiake. The super stitious fell on their knees In prayer. The Irreverent trembled with fear ; but everybody anxiously Inquired what the matter was.
