TOLEDO, Nov. 2S.-The cold snap has had
the effect of bringing navigation at the head
of Lake Erie to q sudden and somewhat
premature close. Ice to thickness of four
inches has formed in the river and bay. Lake
craft now in port are going into winter
quarters. The schooners Annie Wright,
American and Mount Blanc are reported
frozsn in near Turtle island. An effort will
be made to reach them with tug from De-
troit, and, if successful, they will be towed
to that port. The propeller Jarvis Lord,
which struck on snag and sunk in the bay,
on Friday last, is being pumped out, and
when raised will be taken to Detroit. She has
a cargo of 10000 bushels of wheat for
Buffalo.

the ports named. Ice breakers and all the
men that could be put to work on them are
employed, and, unless the present cold snap
continues, the canal will be reopened. At
Schenectady, the ice In the canal is four
inches thick. It ia estimated there are
100000 bushels of grain afoat. A tele-
gram from Whitehall says the Champlain
| canal is frozen over with ice two inches
thick. Every effort will be made by officials
to get the boats through. At Whitehall, at

| MARINE DISASTER.
ERIE, Pa, Nov. 22.-The barges Bay
City, Eidorado and Wesley were wrecked
yesterday five miles east of this place. They
were abandoned by the steamer Donaldson,
which had them in tow. Dragging their
anchors, they went into the rocks. The
Wesley and Eldorado drifted right into the
beach. The crews were easily saved. Phe
Bay City, being loaded, went aground about
100 feet from shore. The lifesaving crew
| fired line over her from a mortar, and the
crew of six and female
cook were brought ashore one by one, in
| the breeches of the buoy, without touching
water. All three vessels will probably prove
a total loss. The Bay City is insured for
| $4,000 and the others uninsured. The cap
tain of the Donaldson is severely censured
for not reporting the circumstances on reach
| ing the harbor, where he lay for sixteen
hours before anything was known in the
city of the disaster. The life-saving crew
| dragged their apparatus five miles through
heavy snow drifts, during one of the worst
snow storms ever known here.
CLEVELAND, Nov. 22.-The Herald special
says: The stranded barge Standard has
gone to pieces off Fairport. She is a
complete loss, and her load of lumber Is
scattered along the beach. The schooner
Negaunee is anchored four miles off Fairport
in sinking condition. The tug that went
to her reported five feet of water in the hold
and gaining. The life saving crew went to
assist the pumping.
