We copy the following from the Cleve aDd Herald.

ca III the history of the Daviy a.Oa OF Lake Erie:-
The Griffin the first vessel that fioated upon
the Western lakes. She vas Of sixty tons burt ien
completely rugged, and bosrd seven Small
pieces Of cannon, two Of them brass. The keel vas
laid by La Sale, at Cayuga creek, si1 miles
Niagsrs Falls, on the 18th ct January, 1879; and
after experiencing great difficulty in ace ndng che
Ma ara, on the 1th OF August sne ioa Ell npm the
water of Lake Erie. A voyage ms ce to Green
Bay, which WAS reached early in Septe nber On
the 18th the vessel, IL charge OF the pilot and five
others. and laden with rich cargo Of furs, sent
back To the Niagara Nothing ever heard Of
her. bat about the beginning Of this century, upon
farm In Erie county, New York, near Eighteen Mile
creek, large quantity Of wrought iron supposed -
weigh seven hundred or eight hundred pounds, and
evIoently taken from vessel, were found, much
eaten by rust. About fifteen years after, imme-
dia tely succeeding heavy blow, and In the same
vicinity, upon the beach, was found the breech OF
cannon, and under IL another. Words, evidently 10
the French language, were upon then, and they
were probably all that remained O( the Griffin.
The Walk In The Water, the first steamboat upoa
the lakes, was built 1t Buffalo, in 1919, by Dr. Stew
art, and named after WyaDdot chief who lived At
Mugwsgo, Oh the DeTou river. The boat lett Buf
inlo on Der first trip. the LIST Of November, 1918,
under mmand OF Capt. Fish. DR.. Ste war; told Mr..
B. +. Stckney, at the time OF her first trip, that,
including what he paid Fulton and Livingston
for their patent, the boat cost him $4,000
1901 six years before toe first steamboat, he stated
that Lake Erie would float ships of 900 tons
burthen. We believe the first stean boat OF 600 tons
burthen upon Long Island Sound was the Ore yon,
built In le45; sno the first upon the Hudson river,
the Hendrix HDdson l36 tons built the same year.
The Western waters we're iii 8dvance Of those OF
the Eat, as the Empire, built ut Cleveland ia 1874
measured 1876 tons.
