TIE STEAMER BUcKEYE.-It will be re
%membered that the propeller Buckeye, ofthe
Northern Transportation Company's Line,
sunk in the st. Lawrence river near the
Crossover Light, on the oath of September,
whereby several lives were lost. She has
been raised, and was yesterday moored at
the dock of the Company, at the foot Of SUI
perior street Capt. A. C. Heating, of this
city, repaired to the scene of the disaster
as soon as the new of the accident reached
us, and contracted with the Pay State Sub
marine and Wrecking Company, to get the
boat afloat. Nothing was visible but the
top of her mast. Her bow lay in water fifty
five feet deep, while her stern was thirty
five feet lower.
The divers entered the craft and after
blowing the water out of the boiler, inflated
the same with air. Holes were bored from
waist to stern in the sides OF The craft, into
which eye-bolts were thrust. Chains were
run through these, to which oil barrels,
bungs down, were attached. Two lines of
these casks were put around the stern, and
Il lnlTu Inc was pun lho the DOW Oh tue
boat, on the inside. There were in all one
hundred of these barrels, all inflated, and
the result was, the propeller arose and
hoated.
1t took a month to accomplish this feat, in
consequence ofbad weather. A dozen calm
days would nave sufieed. The steamer was
taken into dry dock at ogdensburgh, when
it was found that she was not seriously dam
aged. The water has crumbled the paint
off the woodwork of the cabin, and caused
such a varying of the panels that her upper
works must be entirely rebuilt. The en-
CINE is not damaged at all, nor is the hui
racked. She will go into the ship yard in a
day or two.

ACADEMY OF MUsIc.-The Temperance
of Mr.. Ellsler's company at the Academy
of Music last evening, and the commence
mentof the engagement with Yankee Locke,
induced a large attendance, all parts of the
house being filled. The play of the even
ing was the drama of "Ten Nights in a Bar
Room in which Mr.. Locke sustained the
character of Sample Switched" a Yankee.
Of the drama itself there is very little to be
said. 1t possesses features calculated to ia
vorably influence a popular audience, and
when carefully rendered will hardly ever
fail to be successful with the masses. OF Mr..
Locke we may say that,while we have never
been able to regard him as a thorough de
~lineator of Yankeeisms,-a role, by the way,
that no man ought to undertake, because as
worked into the drama it is mere caricature
we thought he gave to the part of Sam
pie SwitchelI' its full merit in the play, and
probably did for it all that could have been
done by any one. The play was well cast
among the company, and all did aceeptably.
"Ten Nights in a Bar Room" will be re-
peated this evening.
