From the uamillou( Ontario )Times, August 2a.l
CAPTAIN Turner, of the schooner Algerine,
who arrived In the morning, reports having
witnessed, at the hour OF eleven o'clock ON
Wednesday night, . terrific aud immense
meteor into Lake Ontario, which struck the
water not more than three hundred yards
from his vessel. The Captain states that u
tew moments previous TO tho appearance
ho had come mp from his cabin on deck,
and was standing on tho main hatch. The
vessel was on the starboard tack, sailing
along finely with light southwest br6eE0

by sudden illumination from the north
west. which almost instantly increased to
dazzling brlliarcy, On turning he be
held a large body Of fire in the heavens,
which seemed to be approaching at de-
scent, of about thirty degrees, and growing
rapidly larger as il came nearer, tue ooser'

admit ot computation IN seconds. Inc

was that certain aud complete DESTRUCTION

terrific missile seemed be directed TO
strike the vcss,l broadsde.
The time for reflection, however, was
brief, and the light emitted was 90 binding

another OF the crew on deck Tell prostrate
and remained for somo time completely
stupe6ed with terror. The Captain himgell

the fiery body enter the water some three
hundred yards ahead of his vessel, abou

Captain Turner was unable to comprehend
what had occurred, and the crew was in
clined to believe the phenomenon was al
explosion of lightning, the sky being per
fectly cloudless at the time. The captaiI
estimates, "a well as he was enabled t'
indge from the short time for observation
afforded, that the meteor was body o
about twenty feet in diameter. lonI

was noticed as it struck the water. A

many hours afterward.
