During their absence these boys stole some Jof the dynamite, and digging a hole in the vacant piece of land buried it there and after placing a quantity of largestonea on the top of the powder, fired the charge. A tremendous explosion occurred, which broke several windows and, of course, greatly alarmed the neighbours. Having pleaded guilty, the culprits were fined 10s each, and received a reprimand for their mischievous conduct.
