SINKING OF TIE STEAMER CALUMET
Dispatches received in the city yesterday
convey the information that by the
breaking Of the lee gorge at Cincinnati,
about Q A. NJ, Capt. Phil. Anshutz's new
steamer Calumet valued at$24OOO, was
sunk, and would probably prove . total
loss. The Calumet had cargo Of some
three hundred tons Of freight Tor
New Orleans, the greater part Of
which it is thought will be
saved. She was insured for $1,000.
Capt. Anshutz formerly commanded the
Express in the Wheeling and Parkersburg
trade, and has many friends in this city
who will regret to hear Of his Ill luck.
The Calumet was built at Pittsburgh, and
was only launched few months since.
A telegram from Mr.. Ed. Anshutz,
clerk Of the Calumet, states that she can
be raised, though how soon is uncertain,
and that she is not damaged as much as
was feared.

WHEELING INE1IGENoER MORNING JANUARY IS

FINE sKArISa.-The thaw OF Wednes'
day melted the snow on the Ice, and the
water freezing during the night made
some excellent skating for the young
folks. From the Water Works 10 the
Belmont Mill, a distance Of fully amilc,
the broad river was covered with a
smooth sweep Of ice. AT an early hour
the skaters were out, and by the
middle Of the afternoon the sur
face Of the Ohio was crowded with
old and young Of both sexes. Probably
one thousand people were enjoying the
fine sport Immediately in front oil the
city, while both above and below could
be seen many more. Nature did more
for the lovers Of the sport than Il were
possible for private enterprise and ener'
Ky TO accomplish.
