A DYNAMITE EXPLOSION.
A Havre despatch sayejthat a sloop loaded with five tons of dynamite waa damaged in a storm, and it was decided to unload the cargo about midnight. Part of the dynamite exploded, breaking hundreds of windows, putting out the gaa in all the streets in tho lower part of town and throwing fragments of the pier as far as 100 yards from the spot. The anchor of tho sloop penetrated the wall of a small mansion near the Hotel Frasieti, where there is not a pane of glass left unbroken. Fortunately, there waa a pouring rain at the time and the pier was deserted, so that there ia no loss of life to deplore.
