two months since. sigasof something new On
foot began to show themselves 10 the ship
yard at Marks Bay. in Shclturn harbor,
a little TO the south Of this City. Houses
for workmen began TO g up. blacksmith
shops and long sheds for carpenters were
erected and -oon quantities Of ship timber
began to arrive. II due time, the keel of a
steamer. OF frst-class size for our lake, was
laid and the nib. which shape out it pro-
portions, are now daily rising. The iudivid-
ual apparently solely responsible for this new
development was Capt y. b. PRocroR Of
tins City. who, when pressed with inquiries
as to what be was about, has simply replied
that be was building a steamboat. and meant
TO have a good one, that be represented IN
the matter a wealthy party or parties in
New YORK. that be paid down for his tim
Der and iron and work. and made e. Mr..
Cash bis only reference where any was
needed; and further. as TO where the said
boat was to be run. or by whom. he said
not.
On those points, We cannot add much to
the stock Of public information. Bat we
are able to state that Capt. Proctor is build
ing steamer. whose dimensions will be
25S feet in length, over all, "a feet beam
and II feet depth of hold. Her tonnage Will /
be about the same 80 the Adirondack. tie
largest boa. On the lake. She will bee fitted
NJ to carry both Passengers and freight; and
will be driven by an engine Of - inch cylin-
Der and y feet stroke. She is building Of F.
Western oak, drought zawed) Massaciu- f.
sets chestnut. and Upper Ottawa pine.
Mr. o. :. Spear IS the master carpenter and /
at present about fry men are az work on
her. TO DC incre -ed soon To sixty. The work /
men are employed. the purchase, made, and |
