There „ero seven deaths during the month—two /rom natural causes, ojie suicide, the othera accidental. • On Thursday evening last Ihe tug Oswego started with 'the schooner A. Boody from Wyandotte, Intending to take her to Toledo to load coal. Before getting out of the ohun- „el 9hc stranded, and the Boorty.Jollowing directly in her wake, struck her^ square In the item, forcing her harder on beside" doing serious damage to her hull. After two or throe days' delay, caused by a low Blugo ot waterj the Oswego was teleased by the lug Cham¬ pion and taken to Sprlngw ells' Urydock for repairs. I'he tug Bob Haekett, which I tnfprmcd you in my last had gone to Whently, Lake Erie, t6 release the schooner CatarnU, i-hore there, returned unsuccessful, after a few days' trial, to Wl ndsor to lake a rest. She loft again to make another cflort, and tt is ro be hoped on thin occasion may be moro fortunate. fin. quantity of lumber passing this way from Lake Huron and Geoiglan Bay is sim¬ ply enormous Only a day or two since, within the space of two hours, upward of eight millions passed on hoard of%arges, all of which had heavy deckloads, and within ilicp.ist twelve hours the estimated quantity «ould fully.reach thirteen million feet. A tine sailing yacht ot fair dimensions ar¬ rival here on Saturday from -Clayton. As tliere is a large surplus of that aitlclehoro si present, beside which Dean & Co. can build tliein faster tlian ordered, it Is difficult to divine w hat It all means or what she Is here lor. Messrs.

Across at Windsor one steamer niida •vessel have been retired for sevvinl Jnys. ' The tine steamer D. D. Calvin, of Garden Island, was on her return voyage Saturday \m, having in tow three Jar^e barges, all liden witli timber, Including the steamer, for (lie Quebec market, the aggicgate quantity bilng 100,000 cubic feet.

This squares it with the record and no exceptions can be taken. • The steamer Manitoba, which arrived here a short time ago from where she had been wrecked on'Lake Huron, and to be re¬ paired here, remains In statu quo. She has been removed from the Detroit drydock and taken to the bone yard for lutuie dlspoil- tlon. Ab bofore stated the "difficulty Is solely between the Insurers and Insiued.
