A FAMILY CAST Away on LAKE SURE
RIoN-SEvEs DAYS WITHOUT pGovrsloN-
We are indebted to Geo. WithcrclI, ESD,
Of this city, Just returned from a summer
residence at Eagle Ilarbor, Lake Superior,
for the following facts:
MIR. Griswold, wife and small child, with
boy about seventeen, the son Of Mr..
llavcrstraw. set ont a few weeks since in
skill from Eagle ilarbor. o reach Eagle
river, some ten miles distant up the coast.
W!thercll was engaged in building Gov
ernmcnt ligh,-h3 on the po ntproiccting
out into the harbor from the main land, and
saw The company as they rounded the poin,
on their pcri!ous voyage. Ii was then
blowing quite strongly Off land, and fears
were entertained that n shift Of the wind
would beach them on bold and bad shore.
Determined TO have plenty of leeway
the little craft was observed to put out some
distance into tho lake, was soon los, sipht
of. 1t never reached its dcsnation. DAYS
and weeks passed, nothing was heard from
the adventures. The coast between the
two points was daily ,ravcrscd, and pieces
OF the wreck supposed TO bc found but no
tidlngs Of the sufferers. At length all hope
was given up, and their friends mourncd
them as dead But the sequel proved
otherwise. After three weeks absence
this little crew were all found safe at the
Soult. They had been picked up two
weeks before by a costing schoone. on the
Canada shore, whether they had been seven
days drifting. The distance across the lake
at that point must be from $50 to 300 miles.
1t appears that the boat got too far from
shore, and the wind increasing, drove them
into the lake. Night coming on, and the
wind not abating, the boat was put in charge
OF lad, who was a half-brccl and well ac
quaintcd with the lake. He got up sort
OF sail and put before the wind for the
Canada shore.
Seven days and nights they spent on this
lonely sea without seeing vessel, without
shelter and without food. The wind
changed several times and kept them for
days out of sight of land. When found,
they had entirely surrendered themselves
up to their fate. How they lived so long
under such exposure and without food, is q
most unparalleled mystery. Their discovery
was mere accident by the schooner, which,
solitary and alone, happened to be coasting
along the Canada shore.
Altogether this is ono of tho most
remarkable incidents that has ever occurred

ventures, shipwrccks and escapes Clepe

any course OF action TO be determined on

OF Florida, which he stated on presenting
them, met with the unanimous approval Of
the delegation from that State. Notice
was given to-day, by member from the
State oi mississippi, that he would be ready
Tomorrow TO present resolutions To tho
convention, on the part of the delegation
from that State. From the material which
composed that delegation, we infer that
the tone will not be lower than that of tho
resolutions from Alabama and Florida,

Serious Firrc.

About one o'clock this morning, an
alarm Of fire was sounded, and on repair
ing to the spot, we found it originated in
the office of Mcssrs. Cameron McDermid
g. Mustard, situated on the street leading
to Patton's wharf.
The flames soon spread to the adjoining
buildings, and in shnr, time the whole
property Of these gentlemen, comprising
the Machine and Blacksmith Shops,
Foundry, and large back Store House
were destroyed. The Machine Shop Of
Messrs. Lockwood g. Johnson next took
fire, and burnt down, together with one or
two other buildings to the East and South.
Tho Wooden House OH Pritchard-st., ad-
joining the store house Of Messrs. Gamer
on& Co., was in flames, at the time we
left (half past 2 o'csock) and there was
every probability that one or two adjacent
buildings to the West would fall prey 10
the flames, as there was an entire absence
of water to enable the Engine to reprcss
the flames.
We were unable to learn particulars
with respect to insurance OH the property
destroyed, further than that Messrs. Gamer.
on g. Co, were covered TO the amount o
about three thousand dollars.
We consider this fire public calamity
| from the fact that two firms engaged in {
branch Of business especially important t.
our community at this time, have beer

feeling and public spirit Of our citi
