Capt. Tenny, of the Schr Ferry, now
loading with coal at the harbOr for Chi:
cago, informs US that he will be taken
thither by the Prop. Barnum, and the
probability seem TO be that both vessels
will lay up there for the present.
The schr. Kent brought in cargo of
1,145 tons of ore last Monday, which is
the largest load ever brought into this
port by sailing vessel.
The custom Office at the Harbor has
been removed to the second story of the
new building of Messrs.H Hubbard, Hubert
& Fisk. where marine and fire insurance
is to be had.
The new and elegant side-wheel steam
er Pearl will commence her regular trips
between Cleveland and the Islands next
Monday, the 9th. She is expected TO
make faster time than any OF the steamers
that run to the Islands.
The Schr. e. c. Trumpf sailed from
Quebec for Oporto with slaves, few
days ago. She is expected TO 'eturn in
months time, and if freighting on the
lakes has revived will revisit her home
port.
The Bag City Tribune states that an
engineer named Shay, employed on the
tug Hand, has become millionaire. His
father was killed during the wal, and
left an estate then worth 100000. which
has been IN litigation ever since. Being
unable to procure his share of the estate,
young Shay went 10 work to earn his
own living. learning the engineer'sj trade,
which he followed until the suit was f.
nally decided in his favor.
The schooner which the Canadian Gov
ernment has fitted up for the purpose ofa
light ship, has arrived at Bar Point and
will be put in position as quickly as pos
sible. She has served several years as
supply-ship to lighthouses on the Gulf
of St. Lawrence.
The statement recently made that the
position of the sunken schr. Exchange at
the Islands was dangerous to navigation
is said to be incorrect. The Exchange lies
entirely out of the way of passing vessls,
being inside the bull-flags in shoal water.
The statement evidently referred to the
schr. Consuella, which lies in an exceed
ingly dangerous condition, being in the
middle of the regular channel, with its
spars, ETC., above water.
The Cleveland Leader OF the 96th says:
"The wrecking steamer Magnet will
probably arrive here to-day and go to the
Northern Transportation Cos dock,
where she will store her apparatus and
pumps and go into commission as an ex-
cursion boat. Capt. Drake does not, how
ever, intend TO give up the wrecking bus
iness but will hold himself in readiness
for any emergency that may arise in that
line, only using his boat meantime for
pleasure parties and excursions to near
by places along the lake."
The plan of the Cleveland harbor of ref
uge is as follows: Beginning at point
about 800 yards west of the Lake Shore
Railroad bridge over the Cuyahoga Riv-
er, on the shore of the lake, a stone wall
or pier will be built directly out into the
lake about 800 yards in length, TO where
the water is 81 feet deep. Joining at
right angles with this wall will be con-
structed the outer wall, 1900 yards in
length, almost parallel with the shore
line. The present Government piers on
which the lighthouse stands, will be
built out to about even with the wall,
leaving an opening at the corner for the
entrance of vessels.
THE STORM AND ITS DAMAGES.
The Buffalo Erpress OF Monday says:
The Schr. C. Nelson arrived in port
| Saturday morning IN tow Of the steam

and rigging came crashing down upon
/ the deck Fortunately none of the crew
were hit. One of the sailors was caught
under the fore-sail as 1t came down in a
heap. Her fore-mast head and mIzzen
| top-mast were also carried away. The
damage will amount to six or eight hun
dred dollars. The vessel is insured. Capt.
Mitchell, of the St. Clair, says there were
| six or eight other vessels in sight that re-
ceiYed the full force of the squall, and
were more or less damaged in their can
vas. He charscterizes the storm as tor
nado, from the west-southwest, lasting
only from ten to fifteen minutes. After

calm. The Nelson's cargo of grain was
delivered dry.
