A FISHING BOAT AND CREW LOST OFF
ST. JosEPH.-It is our sad duty to place
before our readers the record of a calamity
which has occasioncd widespread gloom
in our usually quiet village On Monday
morning last our brave fishermen pursuing
their calling, made an adventurous Jour
ney on the lake toward the locality of
their nets Among the large number of
boats that went out in company was one
owned by Mr.. Jacob Kissinger, which met
with fatal disaster The fishermen ar
irving at their nets found the sea running
SO high that they deemed it impractical bic
to gather their haul and generally re-
turned to the harbor Mr. Kissinger's
boat was in the rear, and those in the
other boats called out to him to follow
them in. 1t is supposed that Mr.. Kissin.
ger was anxious to secure his haul and
that he made an effort to do so, but that
while doing so the spar was broken by
the force OF the wind, the boat capsizcd
and the whole crew, consisting of four
men, were consigned to watery grave.
1t was hoped that the missing boat was
taken in tow by some passing schooner
and conveyed to South Haven, but i'm
mediate search in that direction proved
the hope groundless. Day after day in
tense excitement prevailed and scores of
persons gathered on the bluff with eve
glasses, eagerly looking to catch the first
glimpse of the white sail. We have seen
no such excited interest since the loss OF
the "Hippocampus," which threw such
gloom over our town, and hoping against
hope the crowd gathered on wednesday
afternoon, still anxious to get some inteli.
gence from the missing crew AS boat
after boat approached the harbor, the
most eager inquiries were shouted from
the shore. At last crew brought the
news that they had seen the boat capsized
in the lake, but had caught no glimse of
its precious human freight. A little later
the 1.-TWO Brothers," schooner at this
port, hove in sight and was watched with
eager eye until it came within hailino
distance. 1t was then ascertained that
the schooner had picked up the boat and
took it in tow, but owing to the sea, was
obliged to anchor it, but still no news oil
the missing men. 1t was a sight oil
thrilling sadness to see the poor heart
stricken women, whose husbands vert
aboard the boat, wringing their hands in
wild despair as the sad intelligence concer
ming the crew came 10 their knowledge
and the crowd in sympathy with the
weeping women dispersed. 1t is beyond
hope that any ofthe unfortunate men will
ever be heard from, no vestageI of the
bodies has yet appeared. Thus by thi,
sad calamity eleven children are made
fatherless and four women are made
widows. The names of the missing mer

ocrat Lyon served his country for

of his country, Pulling was Democratic

party. Lyon is known to be Statesman
and Jurist. Pulling is not known to be
either. One or other of these men will
be elected Associate Justice of the Su-

shall it be, The answer depends upon
the Republican electors. If they all vote
the election Of Lyon is sure. But what
ever Republican fails to vote endangers
his election. The Stay-at Homes may be
sufficiently numerous to cause his defeat
Quietly and secretly the Democrats are
carrying on an active and resolute can

will be no relaxation of their usual maxim
and rule: Vote Early, and Late, and

be because there are not Democratic
electors enough to elect him, and not
because they do not vote. Ii Lyon
is not elected, it will be because
the Republican electors do not al vote.
