MARINE. The schooner Mariner, of this
port, went ashore, nearly high and dry,
near the south pier, at two Rivers, on
Saturday night last. The night was dark
and stormy, and the captain thought he
was off this port and that his vessel was
coming in all right.
The propeller ST. Joseph, of Goodrich
line. looks as neat as a new pm since her
arches were put, and herself treated to a
new coat Of paint-black hull and white
UPPER works. She left for Green Bay on
II ursday morning.
