THE STORM VESSELS WRECKED LIVES LOST

The storm of last week proves TO have been
disastrous at this end of the lake The only
wreck which occasioned loss of life was that of
the schooner Experiment. which capsized on FIJI
day night near ST Joseph, TO which place she was
going after a cargo The vessel turned bottom
upwards, and Capt Jennings, her master, and two
sailors, named Levi Livingston and p. Braton,
were washed overheard and lost. The wife of
Capt Nelson w. Napier, his son about fourteen
years Old another child about year old, and a
sailor named Brosser, were In the cabin. The
three persons managed TO keep their heads above
the water in the cabin by clinging TO the berths,
but the child was drowned.
They were in this situation sixteen hours, dur
ing which time the vessel drifted ashore near ST
Joseph and Capt Scott, of the schooner Suther
land with others, went to the wreck, and hearing
voices in IT, cut hrle through the planking. and
rescued the party of survivors. The Experiment
was owned by J. f. Stevens. of St. Joseph.
The schooner c. P. Williams, which slipped
her cables off this place is ashore three miles cas-
of Calumet lighthouse. Capt. Busher states tina
soon after making sail she commenced leaking
from having pounded on the bar, and soon be
coming water logged was driven ashore She lie
in eight feet Of water, and il is thought can east

DESTRUCTIVE STORM.

On Saturday afternoon OF last week, one of III.
mos. destructive hail storms ever experienced in
this country, visited Mineral Point and section
several miles IN width. The storm came up with
ued only some thirty five minutes, during which
time nearly all the glass the north side of every
building within its range was broken, and vegeta,
ton of all kinds not of sufficient strength TO with
stand its petlngs, cut to the ground. AT frs
the hail stones were of moderate size but as the
storm progressed, their size, number and velocity
were increased, until in places several inches o.
ice balls were upon the ground varing 10 size
from a common pea 10 large sized hens egg
The damage in this village to windows alone W ~
amount TO considerably thousand dollars.
but this is a small item in the account and can
soon be replaced But the destruction 10 garden
vegetables, fruit trees &c, will be much more Sc
rerely felt by citizens, and we fear that field
crops are also entirely destroyed. Every thing in
fact that came within in its range, must have suf-
fe-red materially. We do not believe that in all
the gardens in this village there IAN now be found
vegetables sufficient that are uninjured, to supply
. small family for single week.
We trust that the section of country visited
by this destructive storm was small for in such a
case, misery has but little relish for company

THE MAILS.

Perhaps there is nothing perplexing to
the publisher of a newspaper than constant COM
plants from his subscribers, of irregulaity in the
the receipt of his paper. We have taken unwea
ried pains TO furnish readers with the Tribune
regulariy-in almost every instsnce snperintend-
ing the direction and mailing of the papers onrself
and with very few exceptions, during the past
wear they have been in the Post Office in time for
,hf mails on the day of publication "Wednesday
of each week; and yet constantly receiv-
ing complaints from subscribers tnat their papers
do not come TO hand they should do
From more than any source, we receive com
plants of this kind, from our Dodgevle subscri-
bers. Why it is, we know not, but certainly ii
appears to us that there must be some Ipisman-
agement in the Office at that place We have in
qured of persons in dgeville who live near by
and call daily a, the Post Office, and from them
le.ra that they get their papers regularly, while
others mere remote from the Office who call bu
once a week tell US that they often told tina
no paper for them is received, sad that al othe
times they get three or four weeks papers at th'
same time.
We believe the Dodgeville Post Master in him
self careful and attentive man in whatever bust
ness he attends to therefore are led TO the con
clusion that all these complaints the result o
carelessness the part OF Clerks in his employ
If such is not the case, we are willing TO be cor
rected in suspicious but let the fault wher.
it may, we do hope that some corrective may b.
applied that will enable some of our Dodgevill,
subscribers 10 get their papers little more regu
ly than heretofore.
We make these remarks with no unknd feel
inss towards any one, but for the purpose OF call
ing the attention of those interested TO the matter
IN hopes that the cause of complaint may be re
moved
