Wnrren and Moore. Ever since the national holiday a perfect stream of complaints have been rained down upon them by the ni!i«ters and owners of pleasure yachts who were on the lookout lor tugs leaving tho harbor with pas*engers. Of course these Complaints had to be In¬ vestigated, and as a majority of them weie admitted to be true by the persons com¬ plained about, a number of lines were im¬ posed. The tugs W. II. Woll, Muriel, Mon¬ itor and J. II. Hat'kley weie among tlie boats mulcted and In each cape the tlim im¬ posed was $500. Ot course iliese fines will never bo paid, as enough Influence will be brought to bear on Secretary Folger to se¬ cure their remlsslom Inn decision ol tho United States district couit of Buxton, tlie local Inspectors at that port flnetl a tug own¬ er $500 for carrying a number of men fiom one point to another in the river.

MARINE RECOUP. IN A NEW FOHM. . The steambarge John E. Potts Is In poit Itnui Bairyvllle, Lake Superior, with a load "I lumber. With her present nii-ee. uiul iiiimv changes In her appearance, the Polls, will piobably leave portund teij lew persons will recognize her as the famous old pus- ' longer stenmor Mohawk, whloh traveled the route between Buffalo and Chloago In the fifties. It Is the revised edition of the Mo¬ hawk, rebuilt and supplied with a new name ami new machinery. To tlio.oltl-t,lmers tlie Mohawk Is as well known as tho port wheio she was built. She was originally built for the Western Transportation Company, and utter her launch It was though that her Ini- lnensc(?) sUe would prevent her from being successful. But she was. Tho Mohawk was burned almost to the water's etlge about fifteen years ago, and her machinery was taken out ol her ami her hull converted Into a tow barge. Last winter she was liauleUout at Oscoda and i ebullt, new machinery placed In her, and her inline changed.—IuUr (hunt. BRADUMJK'S POINT I,IGHT. Having nn opportunity lo visit tho hnrbor or Charlotte (Gennessce river) a few weeks ago, wc strolled down to the bench on a benutllul evening to look at old Ijakc On¬ tario, which laid out strelc|ied' before us llko u perfect mirror; It being perfectly calm and not a rlpplo visible*im tar as the oyc could reach, the sun junt setting jn the western horl/,on ot the lake, made a unttiral pnnornnin must beautiful te behold. Wo walked out on the pier to tho now lighthouse late'y erected, mid In scanning that famous slructuie closely, tire came lo the conclusion, that wlloevei plnniiNl and lecnmmended the same knew veiy little about what actually Is needed at the en- tiniiceol such a liarbm. The question arose In our mind at once, how will such n beacon be able to withstand the heavy seas that sweep hi lioni the hike when our heavy northeast gales incur in the tall? We will venture to predict that some morning the pier light at Charlotte harbor will be found on the beach utterly demolished, mill nothing left to mailttho entninco cither by day or night, as the old lighthouses have been discontinued. .We are not itywe hi our opinion nbout tlili, matter; ninny expeilcnced hike men are leatly lo substantiate our ascerilous lp lo¬ gin il to It. j About a couple,of years ago $30,000 was appropriated bvjCoiigress to erect a now lighthouse on Briidlock's Point; nothing has been done about it, and Iheie Is noTTgn yet that apythlng will be dune in legard to the building ol such a structure. IVrmlt us lieu: to lemnrk that tie don't want any light on Bratliock's Point at all, but let a light ol such a kind, as $30 000 will build, (for it ought to- be a goot| one) he fleeted In Cliarlotto and so uau>lructeil anil lilacytl as to lorni a range light ttilh a s'uh- Mnutlal ted plei head light on the outer end ot llie west pb'i; that Is the ttat it should ] be i|one in older lo be of any piacllunl u-e whatever, and to make the cnlinuee toilie harbor of Genncssle, easy at all times anil in any kind of weather. A light ot that kind would also be visible a long dl-lancc oil' In the lake and would be a guide for veSaidu and steamers running up and down .it night as it was years ago when the old light on die hill atChailoltetvas in vogue, but whleh has of line been discontinued tor leusons hard to tell; but we suppose on account of saving 'oil and the mania of economy has at present shown Itselt lo Its1 fullest extent at Charlotte in the way of extension of piers as'well as lights. ' • I.iitc yeai s n considerable coal trade hiu sprung up at tho harbor of Ueiinossee, on Lake Ontario and the largest steamers com-' ing thfough the new Welland canal alter leaving bt. Lawrence liver on their' return trip call tlteio fo'i coal for upper lake pons and wc therefoie think it Is juBt as necessary to have tho entrance to that harbor supplied ttliii good lights as either of the two Sodus; In the meantime we will patently wall, and hope tliat aftei a considerable lot ol coMly red tape has been unravelhd, something will be done in regard to the muttei. In conclusion peimit us*ilso heie to sny that If I hose in charge of such work would most giaeiously condescend to consult with old experienced lake captains, who have for }em- l»en running km ihe-e lake haihors il, nil kinds ol vwnlli'M mid dark .tunny night!-, "nine vciy valuable Infoi million might be obtained, before such miserable tiaps as the plei lighthouse at Charlotte would be coustiucted.—A'uifois in O'/tlcas- buiij iVtiiPS.
