Tho fine sohoonor Chas. E, Wyman, of Grand Haven, Captain Alex Smith, which has been engaged In tho lumber trade, wont to Sarnta with a load of corn on Frldny last. The propeller Now York collided with thq *tea,mbarge Aborcorn whilst tho lnttor wiib on tho market last week, doing a considera¬ ble amount of damngo to hor planking, plank shear and bulwarks nmldsnlpB, Grain freights aro rising 8tcadNy and wo hopo soon to record them at 5c and upwards from this port to Buffalo. Lumber freights remain unchanged, and It 1b a hard job to triake vossols pay tholr way at presont rates. On Supday, about noon, tho rtcnmbnrgo Nollle Tot rout capsized and waterlogged near tho mouth of the harbor. Too heavy a dcckload of shingles was no doubt the cnuso of tho trouble. Divers tiro engaged upon her getting hor roady to bo pumped out and set afloat again. General Superintendent Klmbnll, of the Llfo-Savtng Service, accompanied by Scnn- torCongci,of Michigan, came here on Frl- elny lust and Inspected the life saving station. The Chicago crew wont through a thorough drill and were very highly commended for . tholr efficiency. \ Tho life-saving station at this port Is to have ono of tho Biggins & GIBdrd Cape Cod" aurfboats sent on for experiment, nnd If It proves a success others will be sent to tho various stations comprising this district. ' These boats are pronounced tho best In use, and have been adopted at all of tho stations ■on Lake Huron. They aro constructed of cedar with an air tight compartment In bow and stern and are pointed at both ends. They aro doublo banked and carry eight oars. Grain freights were again firm yesterday at 334@4e corn to Buffalo. On corn to Mid¬ land and Sartila, the rate was 2}^@2^o. In ono Instance a small vessel got in on wheat toSarnla—the schooner Adventurer. Tho nominal rato on wheat to Kingston was 7)4o. The demand for vessels to Kingston (as to ' all ports) was good, but tho vobsoIs In port . had not discharged their up cargoes and I wero not yet ready to go to tho elevatorB. Ou wheat to Mantcoal, tho propollor Prus¬ sia ohtalRtSoflOc, the lilghOBt flguro paid this season. The sohoonor A. G.

The barge Berrien of Benton Harbor Is being calked. Sehooner Ebenezer (late the Watts Sherman) has had a^thorough rebuild at a cost of $5,000. Tho tug Tarrant has had a new Wheel. Schooner North Star had a leak stopped and some -calking. The schooner Mary B. Hale had a leak stopped. Tho tug Boscobel got some jiejy braBSjM In her "tern bearing. Stcum- ba'rge Tempest Tiad her wheel tightened. Tho stcamor John B. Lyon Is having her topsldes calked and some repairs to hoi etorn. A new windlass is being made for the schooner Evening Star. bBTltOIT. bptclal to the Marine Record The tug Mocking Bird wns towed horo •with a brokon shaft, Tho tug Sweepstakes took her tow of five schooners to Lake Erlo. The steamer Mary running between this port and Toledo, broke her shaft near Am- iherstburg on tho 13th. She will bo re¬ paired hero. • Tho tugs Champion and Sweopstakcs re¬ leased tho schooner Wayne Sunday, aground on tho head of Harson's Island. Tho cause of her grounding was tho parting of tho tow- line'. Grain freights remain firm at 2^o to Buf¬ falo. Steatnbargo Fortuno was chartered for cedar ties from Lyon's Head to Court-i -wrlghl at 10c; Schooner Bonodlct, cedar ties, Bauble Boaoh to Clovoland, luo; scow Bosobud, paving codar, Fishing Islands to Detroit, $2.25 por cord. Last wook wo gave a description of tbo new steamer City of Maklnac, to bo run on 4he Detroit and Cleveland Steam Naviga¬ tion Line. Sho has proved, to bo a porteot sucocss In regard to snood, as sho made tho ruh from Port Huron to Detroit In three hours and thirty-eight minutes. She loft Detroit on Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock, as announced, and has rriado tho round trip to Macklnao and return,_gottlng back to De¬ troit on Tuesday, as 'stated, at 10:30 when tho regular tlmo sot down.for hor to get In was 2 p. m. She was tliroo and a half hours ahead of hor regular schedule time. As to eomfort nnd Bnfety tho reputation of tho De¬ troit and Cleveland lino Is sufficient assur¬ ance Tho City of Macklnno will altornate with tho City of Clovoland In running be¬ tween Dotrolt and Macklnnc, this now ves¬ sel leaving Dotrolt on Wednesdays and Sat¬ urdays, and hor companion leaving on Mon¬ days and Fridays. .SANDUSKY.

Hor length Ib savonty-thrco and one-half fcot, beam sixteen leot, hold nine feet four Inches. Her engine has a cyl¬ inder 10x22 Inches, and was built by Sutton Brothors; it Ib a well finished specimon of marine machinery and' cannot but do good work. Her boiler measures thirteen teot In length by seven feet In shell, and was for¬ merly in tho steamyaclit Tllanla, it Is prac tlcally as good as now, and makes steam steadily and economically. Tho whool Is six feet ten Inches In diameter. It will bo seen that In engine, boiler, and wheel tho Will¬ iams has the advantage of other tugs. Sho Is of handiomo model, Is woll finished and arranged, nnd consequently makes a very fine appearance. Captain Ed. Maythom will run her for tho present. X STUitCiKON HAY. Capt.

During the trouble the Wallace got the Kent's tow line In her wheel and was dolayed some hours before It was taken out. Tho cause of tho collision was that botli vessels took n sheer while the stcambargo was trying to clear a small schooner that was at anchor nbreaBt of tho elevator at Sarnln.
