occurred at the Grand Rapids the 23d ult.

which stood upon the bank of the river fell across
her bows and upon keel which lay alongside re-
ceiving her freight The treesfel upon and killed
two men, who had just been engaged on board the
boat as deck hands, and severely wounded two
others. Samuel Mervin, Of Richand county, this
State, who was sitting on bag of coffee on board
the keel, and Thomas Starnator, of Bedell's Mills,
a native of Gibson county, Ia, who was under the
boiler deck of the steamboat, were both instantly

to be very doubtful The captain and clerk OF the
Magnet, captain and clerk of the Lady Madison,

our fellow townsman, B. Parkinson, together with
several other gentlemen, were seated upon the BOZ
Ter deck at the time, but escaped injury. Mr. Par
