The Missing Steamer 0conto Heard
From-Ashore at the Charity
Islands.

Up to yesterday forenoon no hopes
were entertained in town in regard to
the safety of the steamer Oconto.
She was believed to have foundered
in Saginaw bay. The Oconto does
not run on the Detroit and Alpena
route, but was trying to make little
profit by making trip to this port
after the regular line steamers had
finished their seasons work and gone
into winter quarters. She had done
the same two preceding years. The
Oconto left Detroit with full load of
merchandise for Oscoda, Harrisville
and this city. She is said to have
had some twenty passengers on board,
and her crew must have numbered
over twenty. The steamer was at
Oscoda last Friday and discharged
part of the Oscoda freight. She then
started for Huntsville. About five
miles from Oscoda she encountered
the northeast gale that swept the lake
that day. She was seen to turn about
and was apparently running for Tawas
for shelter. From that time nothing
was known of her until yesterday.
The Oconto, on account of the ter
rible gale, heavy sea and binding
snow storm was unable to make Taw-

Up to and including Wednesday
last the weather had been very agree
able at this city, for the time of the
year. On Thursday considerably
winter and a little snow came, and
winter gave notice he would be on
exhibition Friday. He was as good
ms his word, and arrived on Friday
with first class northeast gale and a
full installment of snow. All day
and most of the night he showered
his snowy gifts about this section of
the State. The wind, as recorded at
the U. S. signal Office at this city,
blew at the rate of thirty miles per
hour, part of the time. Outside, on
the lake, the velocity of tho wind
must have reached over forty
miles per hour. Over a foot of
snow on level must have fallen. In
this city the snow fall was from few
inches to over four feet, according as
winter took a fancy to heap it up.
The business houses on the northerly
side of Second street got over two feet
more of snow than they were entitled
to, but they were not at all pleased at
the extra donations. They did not wish
to deprive their opposite neighbors of
their share of the beautiful. Other
parts of the city were similarly situat-
ed. Some parties from the woods
report the fall of snow rs sixteen
inches deep.
