A most awful accident occurred at the eel
ebration of Independence, at the Carlisle bar
racks In firing the last gun about o'clock
in the afternoon, after the company had most
ly dispersed, the piece bursted, DR.. John y.
Given, and Young lad, of the name of Bell,
were SO mangled by the explosion, that they
expired in a few moments. Several others
were slightly injured. We understand the
piece was iron-that the charge WAS not
unusual, but it is believed was not rammed
home.
