OswEGo, Oct 6.
The propeller Perseverance, Capt. John
Fitzgibbons, of the Welland railway line,
took fire fifteen miles off Putteyville, about
two o'clock this morning, and burned to
the waters edge. The fire was first dis
covered by the engineer, who showed it to
the first mate, he being then on watch, and
almost before they could realize the appal-
ing fact the propeller was completely en-
veloped in flames. Two OF her boats were
on fire before they could be reached, but
the third was launched and put off with
the two mates and two men and a boy.
There were nineteen persons aboard, :
fourteen of whom, including the captain,
perished in the flames. .--.,.----- =
The propeller Enterprise, of the same
line, was about fifteen miles astern of the
Perseverance,, and she picked up the boat
containing the persons above named and
arrived here with them this afternoon. The
Enterprise remained near the burning
steamer until daylight, at which time the
wreck was still afloat.' -s-'.- -s
The captains son, who was first mate, is
among the saved. ~ .. O.. r-...,,.. o.

of 20,147 bushels of corn for T. s. Mott, of

peller, and employed wholly in the grain
trade between the Welland railway and
