coe has been lost. The steamer Columbia, of
the Chicago line, which arrived here to-day,
reports that, while passing The Ducks, Lake
Huron, she encountered large portions of the
wreckage of steamer, and the lake was
strewn for miles. She saw life preserver
for hours, but failed to fud any tidings of the
crew. The general opinion is that the Simcoe
struck on Magic Reef, off The Ducks, and
went to pieces, in the gale in the early part
of the week. The Simcoe was due here from
Chicago four days ago. She was almost new
steamer, having been rebuilt last winter at
Collingwood, and was valued at $40, 900, and
