OUR HARBoR IMPRovEMENTs-Col Blunt. o.
Engineer, furnishes list Of the harbor improve
ments on lake Erie during the past season, among
which is the following Of Ashtabul Ia Harbor:
The extension-three hundred and sixty feet
in length-of the west pier at the port of Ashta-
bula, has been completed this year. As soon as
ations for deepening and widening the channel
will commence. Funds appropriated last spring
will be available for this purpose.
To RUIZ AL WINTER.-The favorite steamers
OF the Goodrich Line, Truesden and Depere, will
run all winter between Chicago and Milwaukee,
Sheboygan, Manitowoc and Manistee The side
wheelers will run until the let of December.
A movement is being made among vessel men
faYoring the establishment of signal station at
old Mackinaw next season. 1t is one of ihe most
important points on the lakes, and signal sta
tion there would probably do more real service
to the shipping than at any other point on the
lakes. Vessel men at other lake ports are de-
sired to put N their oar in favor Of the PROPOSE

able propeller Campbell, and the large bark S. V.

two or three times over, and has made her owners
rich
FAIRPoRT.-A dangero us sand-bar has formed
at the mouth Of Grand River, caused by the late
northwesters, There are only 81 feet of water
directly opposite the mouth of the hafbor, and 100
feet from the end of the south pier.
THE DRAGoN.-Capt. Charles Brown, who stole
the tug Dragon from the Sheriff at Buffalo about
the sth of October, and brought her to this port
has been arrested and committed to bail for ex-
animation. Capt. William Downs, master and
part owner of the Dragon who, it is claimed paid
Brown a consideration, had been taken to Buffalo
on bench-war rant and requisition. He was in
Jail, however, only a short time, having been re-
leased on bail. Stealing vessels from the Sheriff
or Marshal is not safe business.
