A sTEEPLE ILoWN DOWN.

The most melancholy accident occurred at
Charlcstown, Rt about half past nine, Tuesday
morning, under the following circumstances :
During the morning IL had been noticed that
the steeple ofthe new Baptist Meeting House
on Bunker Hill street, was swaying Ia and
fro The carpenters were sent for, hut they
did not anticipate the least danger of it, fall
ing, and consequently no care was taken in
warning passengers Ia the street
Suddenly, with n terrible crash, the whole
of the stccple, some eighty feet Ia length TELL
across the street, taking with it u part Of the
roof IL fell between two houses, breaking in
tho J. part Of one injuring no one.
II was at first thought that no one was un-
dcrncath, but ON inspection il was found that
a milk cart, which was passing at the time
had.hcon buried up Ia the ruins. The driver
of this cart-Mr Theodore Locke of Lcxing-
ton--a young man, was taken out almost i'm
mcdintely, alive, but died in n few minutes
His horse was also killed, and the wagon
broken in pieces The church was not quite
finished, though it had been occupied by the
congregation.
The Storm was the seycrcst tha, has hoon

The tracks of the Worcester, Eastern Old

washed that travel upon them was entirely
suspended. The Fitchburg and Worcester
roads, though not seriously injured were al
most impossible. A large number Of chin

OF Boston like events occurred. A large num-

the storm, several were sunk, others driven
ashore, some were dismastcd lost their an
