Baltianoye-The Fair of the MARYLAND Institute
opened on Monday night In the room appropria-
ted to the machinery, Mr. Ferguson had deposited
a very heavy iron machine, called a slottine ma
chine, designed for morticing iron. Its weight is
about one ton. While the steam engine was at
work, Mr.. Ferguson attempted to put the band on
the shaft to start the slotting machine. In
this endeavor the band became foul on the shaft
and almost instantly pulled the ponderous machine
over. which in its fall struck James McLanahan,
standing by it, the back of his head crushing the
skull and causing his death in about half an hour.
He never spoke after being struck the blood all the
time gushing from his head and ears. In addition
to this death, youth named William Boone, an
apprentice to Mr. G. w. Bentley, was somewhat
hurt, having been struck the back and foot,
Mr. Ferguson himself made a narrow escape. He
was swung from his feet by the band, and was
struck on the right shoulder and leg by the fall
ing machine. His injuries were however, very
slight. On the morning of the 18th, an accident,
fatal in its result happened at the ship-yard of the
Messrs Gardner. An aged man, named William
Atwell, a ship carpenter, by some mishap, missed
his foothod and fell into the hold of the vessel on
on which he was working. He fell head-foremost

same morning, young man, named Joseph Will

News was received here day before Yesterday,
from Washington, of the passage Of the act BY
which prescriptions are permitted TO be made on
the United States Reservation of 10 miles around
Fort Smelling, located some few miles above this
place. The information set the inhabitants and
spectators agOg at once, and wagons loaded with
pIanks and implements have h5en hurrYng in num-
bars = through the town toward the Reservation.

upon it shanty of very scanty dimensions, sleeps

This proceeding is not fulilment of law by any
means, but it is according to usage, and there is
too much land here to Justify any one in demanding
the strict enforcement of the legal requirements. A
report was received here this morning, however,
that the Dragons from Fort Smelling had come
down on the lands, for the purpose of driving the
squattsrs off and demolishing the shanties. 1t is
cetain that they did come, but ! have not heard
whether they accomplished their object or not.

EgUinectisI Gale storm on the Lake,
From the Oswego lonma

One of the most terrific rain storms, from the
Northwest felt this season, began about noon,
yesterday and continued all night. At times, the
wind blew a perfect hurricane During the after.
noon, the lower harbor was scene OF intense ex,
element. A large number OF schooners were seen
running before the wind, and aiming for this har-
Dor. The surf ran so high that sometimes the east
erly pier entirely submerged, and tons OF water
would be carried over the other one, bodily. i
was, therefore, a critical operation to run in be.
tween the piers, or escape being carried upon the
ledge, the east side OF the harbor.
During the afternoon, three schooners were
drtted over upon the ledge, and the steamer North
erRer, which came up the lake about four o'clock
got upon the bar, aud for some time lay rolling
about in q critical position. She finally got of, bu
did not venture out again until this morning. Two
OF the schooners, the Scotland and Rip Van Wrinkle
in running into the harbor at the same time, go
atoul OF each other, and one of them had her bow
spirit carried away.
Crowds OF people were upon the docks, notwith
standing the storm, and for time the loss of one
or two schooners, loaded with wheat seemed inev
table. Boats sent from the II. S. revenue
cutter and from the docks, with lines, and add,
tional hands were placed on board each vessel. By
dnt of great efforts for successive hours they were
all got of without serious damage, and before night
were all safely moored at the piers.

fined in chains in a wagon. Surprising him TO be
captured as fugitive slave, they instantly made an
assault upon the officer and succeeded in Tescuing
the prisoner from him. Thus liberated, the thief
