\ Crash.

Yesterday noon as steamer No. was being
 taken out of the steamer house, one of the
 large doors swung to, owing to a heavy gust
 of wind, and got caught between the rear and forward wheels of the steamer in such a way as to leave it, when the steamer passed out,
 hanging in dilapidated condition, with up per lights of glass broken and the lower pan els looking as if there had been smash-up. Chief Hendrick was notified and drove to the house directly after the fire and carpen- ters were at work in an hour or so repairing damages, the work being completed all but
 painting before night. The news that the door was broken drew together an army of urchins, who regarded the scene with awe and astonishment.
