Marine intelligence

MARINE lnCe1lISSuC6s- ne
Mississippi and St. Croix are slowly re.
cedng. having fallen between two and
three feet since last week.
The steamer ImperioI, formerly a
tow boat. is now doing an extensive bust
ness, conveying wheat, flour, etc. from
the lower towns 10 st. Paul aud SILVIA
ter, for shipment east via Duluth.
Wood is being transported from
towns up the st. Croix 10 Hastings and
ST. Paul by the St. Croix boats.
The steamer City of st. Paul
which has been laid up for repairs, took
its place in the Dubuque line last week
She has been thoroughly ovcrhauled by
the carpenters, painters and upholsterers
and is now finely rugged for the accom-
mediation OF passengers. Tom Gushing
is captain and James Pershal clerk.
The steamer Great Republic, the
finest and most expensive steamer on the
Mississippi river, was sold at st. Louis
on Saturday. by the United States Mar
shall for $4,000. She cost 100000
three years ago. ". Ii. Ihormegan
was her purchaser.
On her trip up the St. Croix. last
Thursday night, the Wyman X struck a
huge sawlog, which smashed in..the planks
and made an ugly hole in her hull
Temporary repairs were made and the
boat reached Taylors Fails in safety
New planks were nut in before morning
and the boat made her regular trip the
next day. Sawiogs are as thick in the
81. Croix above Saltwater just now, as
the shovel nosed sturgeon that Sam Fl
fell talks so much about, and the wonder
is that our st. Croix pets don't get snag
ged every trip.
