her arrival here. .......-t. i
The Lizzie Gardner left for Stony Point
this morning after couple OF barges OF
stone.

the loss ON the cargo of the steamer
Henry G. Yaeger would fall, inasmuch rs
that boat sunk without having struck
any obstruction, 80 far 90 the
facts have at present transpirsd.

| obstruction attached to the bank Which
the hull repeatedly struck, and by " hicf
it was pierced, unsuspected by officers anc
crew. Such will doubtless be the purpor
of the protest TO be drawn up.
