Loss OF THE SCHOONER RUTH 81. BAKER,
A despatch to the Merchants Exchange yester-
day morning from Boston announced that the
schooner Ruth II. Baker, from Philadelphia to
Portland, sunk near Brandywine shoal, at the
mouth of the Delaware river, Monday morning.
The crew were saved.
The Ruth 81. Baker was schooner of 318
tons, and was loaded with coal for Randall &
McAllister. She was b1ilt at Yarmouth in
this state about thirteen years ago. She was
owned by P. M. Blancha I'd, her agent in Var
mouth, Capt. Collins. her commander, J. Nick
erson, j. G. Baker, Of this city, and others.
She was mostly owned in Yarmouth, and was
valued at $4,000, with no insurance. Capt.
Nckerson is of the opinion that she must either
have sprung aleak in the severe gale or have
foundered while at anchor.

Music HALL.-Last evening Schoolcraft &
Goes appeared at Music Ball, with their new
company and gave one of the best entertain
ments of the season to large house. School
craft & Goes are still old favorites here aud
they were never better received than in their
sketches last evening. The boy Balebrega is a
very clever magician, and his tricks, most of
them old, are well performed. Perhaps the
best thing was the FLOATING table," Signor
Giovanni gave fine exhibition of trained cana
ries, and his music upon the glasses was well
received Harry Bryant, the ventriloquist,
still gives exactly the same limitations which
he has repeated for years, and still people are
pleased with his part in every entertainment.
