met with 4 heavy loss on Friday in having his
freight boat, the David W. Burton, wrecked
ut I've river. The boat was on the upward
trip from Richmond TO this city with Il yalua-
bic cargo, and while coming up the pond at
I've river the towing rope broke, and the wind
being very high the crew were unable TO man
age the boat, and it was swept over the dam,
and after floating some ljo yards below it,,
sunk. There were on the boat thirty barrels
OF sugar, which Of course is a total loss, and a
valuable lot of merchandise, which can only
be saved in Il damaged condition. Mr.. Luca-
dos loss, we have heard, is estimated AT
10000, but this we think too large. The boat
j. a total loss, and of itself was worth 800.
No part OF the loss was covered by Insurance.
