" A dastardly trick was played on an Eltham resident recently (says the Argus”). Underneath the copper boiler m tile wasliliou&e* a quantity of explosives was placed, and when the fire was ligated the employee received the force o the explosion to such an extent as to turn lnm twice backwards, besides being severely burned oin cue arm, eyebrows and whiskers singed, and lus clothing set on fire. The scattered firebrands twice set tlie building aflame, but prompt assistance prevented further damage. The weather is at last settled and very hot. Save your energy and go, straight to Grieve for your Wedding Presents- You’re bound to be suited.
