Our HARBoR-It will be remembered
that we have now had S97, 900 appropri
ated by the government Tor building the
harbor at this place, and that the civil
engineers who examined this port report
ed $45, 900 more, as necessary for the
completion of the hlrbor to give fourteen
feet of water Now this last recommend
alton is greatly needed, and if we will
make proper effort it would seem may
be secured. We have seen a letter from
our member which indicates that Congress
will make no appropriation during this
session Well if it won { then there is an
end of it; but would not a word OF two
from our Harbor Commissioners showing
the great increase in our commercial
traffic since the harbor was commenced,
showing what necessity this port is to
vessels IN stormy weather, and the great
necessity OF having more depth of water,
sent to the committee, have some effecf2
Would it not be wise to give them every
facility and place before them in quick
succession, every fact bearing on the sub
ieet? We think it would. Every effort
should be made consistent with right to
secure the completion Of this great work,
and those who show an interest In such
enterprises generally receive more than
those who sit supinely and take such
crumbs as are forced upon them. We
are sure Of harbor any way. but We
want a good one.

THE GALE OF FRIDAY.
House on Sixth Street Blown Down..
Alarm of Fire---Ineidents, &C., &C.


Alarm of Fire---Ineidents, &C.. &C.
On Thursday evening last the wind
commenced to blow from the South, and
by midnight was fairly bowling. In the
morning it subsidized somewhat and work
ed around to the Southwest. At nine
O. clock the sun came out and there was
no intimation of what was coming, but
about two hours later the wind had COM
menced to blow from the West with ter
rife force. Every movable thing was
started off a-kitin'. We noticed proba-
bly, half hundred hats and caps which
were trying to Ego it Alone besides
which. we are told, various descriptions
of wearing apparel sought to follow said
hats in their uptcar,l tendency, but as
there were no ladies in the street when
we looked out We are inclined to think
we were misin.ormed About noon the
gale seemed to do its utmost. and when
at its very height the dread cry Of fire
resounded through the streets. In d mo
ment there was rush Of panic stricken
citizens, who showed by their earnest in
quiries and gesticulations that they fully
realized the danger which seemed to
threaten-for fire at such time would
sweep every thing before H. The engines
were drawn out and the utmost excite
ment prevailed for little while, but dis
covering the alarm to proceed merely
from the burning out of chimney, the
people breathed easier
The two story building belonging to
Mr.. Croker, situated on Sixth street,
between Chicago and State, and used by
him as a carpenter shop, was blown
down about che o'clock and torn into
kindling wood Loss about $500.
About the same time the smoke stack
on George Dryers griSt mill was thrown
down and nothing left of it worth men
tioning. This we imagine was a seri-
Gus damage to Mr.. Dwyer as it is neces-
sary to have e very high pipe on his
mill. The damage is now repaired and
the mill isEunuing as usual
During the high wind the flag staff on
the top of the TRIBUNE building came
down and without as much as ''by your
leave, sir, > dropped in on us through the
front window Damage ight-seyoral
lights in fact.
4 friend tells us he saw little girl
blown clear across the street, and it is re
ported that boy was picked up on the
bank and landed out in the river; he was
fshed out. Mr. Walters was blown off
a plank also into the river There were
cause that Friday to be rcmem bered as
remarkable day.

brief visit in Chicago to favor us with his
welcome presence until the return of nav

the route where they have travelled. We

favorable comments Of our young towns

'Docentralizing forces in American

Ideas were thrown ou5 and admonitions
urged which are worthy of serious con

must have national life that grows up

A SINGULAR TRIP Collector Grannis
received letter from the Collector at
Fairport, Ohio, detailing the following
singular trip across Lake Erie The scow
Nina, hailing from Two Rivers, Canada,
put on board 0,000 feet of lumber near
Rond Eau, loading from the beach, when
she was driven ashore. Assoon as the wind
went down a force Of seventeen men was
employed to unload her. so that she could
be got off the beach, They succeeded in
getting all the lumber off except about
5000 feet, when the wind blew off shore,
and the vessel foated eff with the seven
teen men on board The crew was not
on the vessel, having gone ashore for sup
per. Those on board had no means of
preventing the scow from drifting out to
sea- Only one OF the seventeen had ever
sailed before, and they made him cap
tain. He laid his coure as near as he
could Judge for Cleveland. There was no
compass on board, and the center board
was out of order and they could not get it
down There were no provisions, ard
before they reached Fairport, which they
finally did, they suffered considerably
from hunger. The Collector at Fairport
allowed them to land the lumber, which
they sold. getting enough money to take
twelve Of the men home by railroad
The other FIVE started back with the yes
sci. When she arrived at Fairport she
had two feet of water in her hold The
pumps had to be kept going during the
entire trip across the lake. The leaks
were found and stopped before the return
trip was attempted. 1t was a singular
and perilous trip.-Clereland Herald
