Ninety-Ton Schooner.
Boston, April 14.-The famous old sloop
Volunteer is on the stocks, being remodeled
into ninety-ton schooner. This has been
exceedingly regretted by yachtsmen gener-
ally, as the sailing qualities of the new rig
are still matter of doubt. and such was the
pride in the hitherto uuconquered Volunteer
that no one wanted to see the boat beaten
in any other form. General Paine recOg-
nized this, and to-day gives general satisfac-
ton by stating that he will preserve the old
name; and as the schooner will grow out of
the slopp, he will name the reconstructed
boat when she is launched the PheniX-an
apurOprate name.

by many devices, such being his skill
in magic and legerdmain that his
