STEAMER NORM srAR,

To CAPTAIE B. G SwEET, CoMlAEDER:
The undersigned, passengers on the
North Star, are disincliDed 10 take leave Of
you and your palace steamer and the Off.
GERS Of yodr command, without some ex-
preston Of our just appreciation Of your
personal excellence aad admirable qualif-
cations as 8 csptain-navigator upon The
great American Lakes.
No evidence could better assure as Of
your knowledge Of the commercial impor.
tame and necessities Of thePe Lakes, and
the wants and necessities Of the traveller,
either for business or pleasure, and Of your
determination to be equal TO every emer-
gency, than that which you have yourself
furnished in the fullness and completeness
Of all the appointments of your elegantan
feet steamer, ard in the selection Of your
officers and men. --
The experience and liberality Of Mr.. ].
NJ. Richards, steward Of the boat has CON-
bined in the table Of the Star the fullness
and variety Of a Metropolitan hotel with
the culinary excellence Of the domestic
board. The genisl and vigilant Clerk, Mr..
J. 7. Briggs. together with Mr.. Coleman,
Mate, by their efforts in their departments
have contributed essentially to She com
forts and pleasures Of the trip, While En-
gineer BesnsOn's skillful hands, day and
night, and when others slept, plying the
intricate keys Of the ponderous engine, has
impelled US safely through rocky channels
and over the mysterious deep.
We are deeply impressed that the trip
from Cleveland to Lake Superior is one Of
very great interest, embracing as ii does
within it's range distance Of more than q
thousand miles 10 the northwest, and Sfteen
degrees Of latitude, and opening to obser-
walton the richest and most wonderful iion,
copper, and silver mines yet known to man.
As an inlsnd-ses ge we believe 1t to
be unsurpassed for the extent, variety, and
beauty Of lis lake, river, and island seen
cry, and has its only counterpart and par
allel in the voyage from Venice through
the Mediterranean and the Greeian Archi-
pelago, the Bosphorus and Dardanelles, TO
the Black Sea and the CrimeRn coast
We beg, sir, to tender to you, to your Of
gcers and men, and to all the employees Of
the. boat, who have attended to our every
want, our Earmest thanks for the safety,
comfort and pleasure Of the trip believing
that while the North Star floats upon these
waters, under her present command, those
who come after US, seeking either pleasure
or health, will not fail TO realize all We
have endeavored to express.
