Tho schr, IYW. Young, whose mishap in Buff
talo llarbor, was noticed last week, we learn,
was on her way 10 Chicago with q cargo of
coal. Capt PRATT had taken tug to convey
hIm through the ice, but which proved of in
sufficient power To stem the current and great
body of ice, and therefore looscd her lines to
take care of herself, leaving the Young to
shift for herself. In this helpless condition,
she driltcd upon the reefs and filled. Capt
FORD informs us that she will probably be
gotten off, but III. repairs will incur heavy
outlay. This was her first trip, and she had
been put in fine condition for her seasons SER
vice. She belonged 10 Mcssrs COOP & DALE,
of this village, and was insured tor $4,000.
