dreds of anxious spectators watching with in
tense interest the unequal contest of the gal
liant boat with the madly surging waves that
were furiously tossing their foam-capped
crests high in air, and though like mountains
they rolled threateningly along, striking the
noble craft with the force of maddened gi-
ant-yet under the guidance Of her skillful
captain and crew she conquered every imped-
iment, surmounted every danger, and was
moored safely at her dock.
During the day a number of vessels, out
generating the fury Of the gale, came into
port, none of them having suffered material
damage.
About four o'clock the schooner Caledonia
of Chicago, in attempting to enter port struck
the bar and was almost instantly capsized
when within few yards of the mouth of the
river. The captain and crew, consisting of
six men, as nearly as can be ascertained, were
drowned. She was owned by Captain Day,
then on board-was a new boat-had been
engaged in the Lower Lake trade-was at
the commencement of the gale a little to the
north of us, taking in cargo of wood, but to
escape the fury Of the elements directed her
course to this harbor, where the melancholy
accident occurred. In an hour or two after
the disaster the vessel was broken up by the
fury of the waves, and portions hoated ashore.
Just at evening the schooner Storm was
beached little north of the mouth of the
river The crew succeeded in reaching the
shore in safety next morning.
The propeller j. Barber left Grand Ha-
ven, Wednesday evening, and on Thursday,
having received some damage in her steam
pipes, made for St. Joseph; but on Sunday
morning arrived at Chicago where she is I'M
dergoing necessary repairs.
The propeller Foss sprang leak or Thurs
day, and to avoid submersion was run
ashore near Kalamazoo. 1t is feared she will
prove total wreck.
The brig Sandusky is reported ashore neal
Kalamazoo, and the Seneca near ST. Joseph
No further intelligence of moment has yet
reached u.s.
On shore, the transactions in real estate
during the gale, were exceedingly brisk. Large
portions changed ownership; but toward the
evening of Friday, speculation became dull
and at present all is quiet.

HOME MATTERs-OUR HISTORY CoNTIN-
UED.--In the year 1885, Mr.. d. Carver, lum-
Der dealer in Chicago, purchased the premi-
SEES now owned and occupied by VIM. Wal
lace, Esq, and water lot, the site of the
warehouse and store owned by Ferry & Sons
very we'll known as the most extensive
dealers in general merchandise in this section
of the country.
Mr.. Carver having advanced two thousand
dollars to assist Messrs. Hathaway & Butts
to complete their saw mill, made contract
with them to manufacture lumber to his Or
der, for specified time, and Mr.. .Albee who
had for length of time been in the employ
of Mr.. c., at Chicago, arrived in the month
of April, 1886, as his agent at this point in
the manufacture and shipment of lumber,
purchase of shingles, DC. But Mr. Carver,
having experienced the reverse of fortune at
tending the unwaranted specuations Of '36
and '37, failed in business, and not afterward
succeeding in retrieving his losses by the sew
eral tried projects that presented themselves,
at length joined the last exploring expedition
of Col. Fremont-one Of the most remarka-
Die on record, not for the capture of the
"wooly horse" but for the incredible number
and character of the obstacles surmounted by
the few survivors of that long, dreary, toll
some journey, aswell as for the many heroic adj
venturers who fell victims to cold, hunger and
fatigue. Among the latter was Mr.. G.
Mr.. Albee, however, shortly after his arri-
val commenced the erection of the building
recently so hastily fitted up by Mr.. Wallace,
and forming at present one of the most beau
tiful residences in our village. Mr.. A. also
erected a portion of the dwelling at present
occupied by himself, with other additions, as
a public house, at first under the supervision
of himself and brother as proprietors, and af-
terward, for several years, under the control
of Nathan Throop, Esq. This was the first
public house in Grand Haven.
The lowermost of the three warehouses
adjoining the river below Water street, was
built by Messrs. Ferry d White, in 1885, and
afterward sold to Robinson, White and Will
Jams. The one owned and occupied by
Messrs. Ferry e. Sons was'built by D. Carver,
in '97 and '3S. That at present owned by
Mr. Albee was erected by John +. Stearns,
about the same time, and first occupied by
the present proprietor
Mr.. Stearns was emphatically pilgrim
his general residence being the spot where
che shades Of night overlook him After

PHILADELPHIA, Sept, /

PENNSYLVANIA PoLITIcs.-A meeting of
Americans was held last evening at Mott
Hall. 1t was called by Hon. Lewis G.. Le-

Levin was hooted down, and finally thrust
out of the Hall. Subsequently the union
ticket was endorsed by resolution, and Levin
denounced. A procession was then formed

were adopted.

GS- Hon. Mr.. SoHoLTE, editor of the
Pella Gazette, Iowa, addressed the Holland
citizens of our village on Saturday evening,
the 18th inst, and OH the Monday following
the American citizens. His address, as ack-
nowledged by both political parties, was an
extremely fair exponent of the principles Of
our government; and our political history for
the past half century was given with admira-
bic accuracy-exhibiting on the part of the
Hon. gentleman, political knowledge of the
country of his adoption that is possessed by
very few, even of our gray headed patriots and
politicians.

raised by our Dutch or Yankee citizens.
