The MARYLAND INSTITUTE EXHIBITToN.-There was
quite numerous attendance at this exhibition on

doubt, increasing with each day.

interesting subject in a bust of Mr.. John w. Ran
dolph, President of the Fells Point Savings Bank

main hall and at the head of the same. 1t is a
faithful likeness of that gentleman, carved from
brown stone by brother of Mr.. R., Baltimore
mechanic, who executed this work after the labOrs

worthy Of examination.

minutes past o'clock, shooting case occurred, in
which man named Andrew Megunegall said to be
of the ''Tigers," from Federal Hill, acted as
principal. 1t appears that man named Alexander

him by the shoulders, pulling him about and at the
time insisting that Thompson should drink
with him. He refused, and getting loose started
towards Calvert street, and when near the entrance
of the lane, he fired at by Megunegal the ball
striking him on the shoulder blade but failed to en-
ter the body. Thompson then started to run, but
pursued by Megunegall across Calvert and
down Fayete streets, towards North street While
running down Fayette, Megunegall fired second
shot, the ball striking Thompson on the right side
Of the back part of the head, passed between the
scalp and the skull for an inch and half, and came
out near the top Of the ear. Thompson continued
down Fayette to North street, when he turned to-
wards Baltimore street, still pursued by Megunegall.
On reaching the latter street, he turned west and
ran into Mann's Hotel; Megunegal crossed Balti-
more street to South, and entered the drinking
