ision, in the militia law, by which material aid could be given by the State, the Governor wrote to the Secretary of War on behalf of the project. On the 19th, thirty thousand dollars was subscribed by a few gentlemen in Boston, as a fund to organize a volunteer regiment, which was subsequently raised, and known as the Second Regiment of Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry. The subscription paper was headed by David Sears, James Lawrence, Thomas Lee, Samuel Hooper, George O. Hovey, and Mrs. William Pratt, each of whom subscribed one thousand dollars. The call for troops, and their organization and equipment, rendered a division of military duties, and the enlargement of the staff of the Governor, a necessity. By law, the Adjutant-General, in time of peace, was Inspector-General and acting Quartermaster-General of the Commonwealth. In time of war, the triple duties of these offices could not be performed by one person; and therefore Colonel John H. Reed, who had experience in milit

company of Winchester went off to Medford and formed the Lawrence Light Guard. The company was organized March 27, 1851, with Frederick O. Prince, afterward Mayor of Boston, as captain. It was named in honor of Col. William P. Winchester. The armory was on Main street in Winchester. It was organized as Co. A, 7th Regt., designated as Co. E, 7th Regt., December 15, 1852, and as Co. E, 5th Regt., in 1855. Captain Prince commanded from 1851 to 1853; Capt. Wallace Whitney, 1853 to 1855. Capt. Wm. Pratt was commissioned as the latter's successor, but received his discharge March 27, 1855. The company did not receive much encouragement from the town and citizens of Winchester, and it was voted to disband. At this time a military company was projected in Medford, and instead of applying for a new charter, Medford men enlisted in the Winchester company with the purpose of reorganizing and transferring the command to Medford. The name was changed to Lawrence Light Guard, in honor of M

man killed. --A large mass of fulminating powder exploded about 11 o'clock yesterday, in the wooden house used for its manufacture, on Brown's Island, in James river, at the foot of 7th street, and Instantly killed and dreadfully mangled William Pratt, of Washington, D. C., the party engaged in its manufacture. The house was utterly demolished by the force of the concussion, and the fragments scattered far and near. One arm of the unfortunate Pratt was picked up some distance from the scknown how the accident occurred, as the only party who could give any reliable information on the subject, lost his life. This is the third time an explosion of like material, attended with fatal results, has occurred here, and it would appear that no amount of precaution suffices to guard against casualties of such a kind. Michael Goheen, who was aiding Mr. Pratt, but who was not in the building at the time of the supposing, was also severely injured by being thrown down and badly bruised.
