A PERILoUs VOYAGE The steamer
Sea Bird lately made a trip to Green
Bay. She cleared from there a week
ago and in the gale of last Friday was
still in the Bay. The ice wasvery trouble
some and before she had left the Bav
her planking was cut through, but the
ice formed over the damaged parts and
the steamer kept on her trip. Leaving
the Bay and coming out into the Lake an
unexpected difficulty was encountered.
The ice thawed or wore off and the YES
sci was found to be leaking badly. I'm
der such circumstances there was but one
means of safety left; this was to throw
overheard the freight Accordingly 600
half barrels Of fish, about so hides and
considerable other freight was dumped
into the Lake The steamer arrived here
Saturday evening and continued her trip
south. We are informed that this voy-
age came very near being he last one for
the Sea Bird.

Marine Items.
PROPELLER aDRTIYJC ASHORE.

On Thursday right last, this large craft
came to our pier about 2 clock. There
was heavy south wind at the time and
the sea was running as high as the pier.
In clearing from the pier, to go out to an
anchor, she carried away her smoke stack
and isnshipped her rudder. About the
same time, smoke was seen issuing from
the hold and an alarm of fire was started,
and before it was discovered that this
was mistake, the boat was pounding on
the bottom; and with no means of getting
up steam there was no other way than to
let her drift on. She found a good rest
ing place at one o clock, and though the
sea Went clear over her, we learn she is
not materially damaged She had on
some six hundred tons of iron and other
merchandise for Chicago On Sunday
the wrecking tug arrived with a steam
pump. The propeller was unloaded and
found to have sustained but slight iniur
les. She was drawn off Tuesday night
and towed into the river where she will
be repaired, and then proceed on her trip
to Chicago, if it is not too late in the
season. The Adfiattc is nearly twelve
years old, having been built at Buffalo by
Messrs. Van Styke & Notter in 1856
She measures 663 tons burthen. old style
In 1864 she received large repairs Her
rate is B L, and valued about S35, 900.
She belongs to the Evans line of propel-
lers, and is owned BY VIM 0. Brown, of

Two Burglaries.-OnS Sunday night two
burglaries were committed in town, one at
the store of BRISTOL & TAYLOR and the
other at KEFFEis saloon. The burglars
entered the store by breaking in one Of the
large window lights in the front, which gave
them easy access. They did little damage
except in rausscking the money drawers
and carrying away seven or eight dollars in
scrip and pennies. The drawers they took
out of doors for examination and left on
the side walk. They did not disturb any of
the goods. Mr.. JOIN TAYLOR was sleeping
in the store at the time but their work was
done SO quietly that he was not disturbed.
In order to get into the Saloon the rascals
were obliged TO break the window sash. In
side they found and took about fourteen
dollars in money and good watch. The
books and money drawer they left in the
street after they had taken all they could
get from them. No clue has yet been found
