From an Ontohagon Miner Extra, Tuesday

1t becomcSoUl painful duty to send
ont 10 our subscribers the account
of one Of the most terrible disasters
that has ever occurred on Lake Su-
perior, the burning OF the steam
barge St Clair, and the loss of
about thirty persons. The st. Clair
is steam-barge Of about 400 tons
burden owned by Capt. Ward Of
Detroit, and running in the Ward
line of Lake steamers as a shore
boat, having as her route the South
Shore from keweenaw Point to
Du!uth and the North Shore, Silver
lslet and Isle Royaie. On Satur-
day evening, the 8th, about 10
O'Clock p. NJ, she entered the harbor
from Duluth having or board few
passengers whose names We do not
know. except Mr.. John Sutphin,
who had on board cattle and sheep.
Quite number of passengers here
were awaiting the arrival of a boat
to 90 to Houghton and Marquette,
and the St Clair being the first
boat here and the night being per
fectIy calm and moonlight they de
clded to get aboard Of her, Though
she vas but barge and no very en-

Being down at the boat we saw
and babe good bye to most of the
passengers that left here on her.
About 2 O'Clock VI. she left the har-

proceeded on her journey until
about 2 O'Clock A. M, when about

were then made to get out the
boats to save the passengers and
crew, but the fire cut Oft this their

by the meeting and then referred to
a committee composed of Richard
Relf, Thos. Clark and \. e. Brown,
with Instructions to examine into
the Treasurer>s accounts and report
six weeks from date, which will be
Monday evening, August DIST.
Following is summary OF the
Treasurer's report:
Amount on hand July 18th, 1875 S1,6l7.54
March 80, 1876, amount received of
Town Treasurer, tax 1875 10000
May /, 1876, amount received of
Town Treasurer, tax 1874 10000
June 3, 1876, amount received of
Town Treasurer, tax 1675----- SOL 81
Total s., 979 O5
Amount paid out during the year 81 sos 33
Balance on hand S1,3l5. 70
The Board recommended $4,000
to carry on the schools for the en-
suing year-$1, 500 for teachers
wages and $500 for repairs, etc.
stating that they had made no def
mite arrangements yet, but that their
idea is to employ three teachers, as
during the past year, paying the
principal s75 per month and the
lady teachers $35.
Heretofore, the voters of this
district have usually voted the full
amount recommended by the School
Board, without taking into consid-
Grafton the amount of funds in the
treasury. This year, however, they
resolved to make a new departure,
and the fact being elected during
discussion that in addition to the
81, 3l5.72 on hand there is 5000 due
the district from the county, it was
moved to vote only $500, which
was accordingly done, and in conse-
quence of which the Treasurer will
not be bothered(?) this year, as
heretofore, in taking care Of fifteen
or sixteen hundred dollars Of sur
plus funds.
The meeting then proceeded to
ballot for Treasurer, d Geo. Nor
rison receiving AZ votes and Geo.
L. Brooks %; whereupon D. Geo.
Morrison was declared duly elected
for three years.
On motion, meeting adjourned.
The School Board remains as be-
fore: James Newton, Director;
James Bardon, Clerk D. Geo. Nor
rison, Treasurer.
