SHIPPING ITEMS. The sch. Lygona, which
brought here from Virginia the oak frame
for the barkentine Mcdonald & Brown are
building, has steam hosting gear. She is
two-master of 172 tons, and steam is rarely
seen on a coasting vessel of her size. 1t was
an idea of her captains, and has proved very
profitable. The ship timber was discharged
in less than half the time it would have
taken in the old way. The schooner has been
in the stone trade, and loads and DISCHARGES
with her own gear. Mention was made
