His'remains were interred Tuesday at Clayton, He was born In Von mom, but removed to KodmAn when a young man, and soon after engaged In tlm ber and rafting business, which he pursued for a number of years. In 1830 he com¬ menced shipbuilding, and during his life¬ time constructed some of the best known take and liver vessels. Mr, Calvin was also for twenty-five years engaged In the wreck¬ ing business. The new steamer St. Lawrence, built by the Thousand Island Steamboat Company, wa6 launohed here on Saturdav. The boat it 105 feet over all, and cost $50,000. She will run In connection with the Rome, Wa- tertown & Qgdonaburg railroad on the Cape Vincent-Alexandria Bay route. Over 1,000 people were present at the launch. MANITOWOC. \ private dispatch announces that the tug Delta, from .Escanaba, succeeded In rescuing the schooner H. Ak Richmond from Fisher¬ man's shoal. She was pumped out by the Delta's pumps In five hours. To what ex¬ tent the vessel is Injured, cannot be known, until she Is placed in drydock, which wlftbo at Manitowoc or Milwaukee. The Rich, mond measures 228 tons and rates Bl There Is Insuranoe on her, but to what extent Is not ascertained. Captain William Keith held a survey of the schooner E. P. Royce, which was dam¬ aged by a collision with tlio schooner Ma¬ rengo. The Royce will require a new fore- Wast, a new chain plate for fore and ml/zen rigging, new main and mlzzen topmast baok- "ajs, new stern-planking nnd some new timbers. All of her ohaln plates will require "pairing. She will also needs noW gall topsa(l.«nd some repairs to her yawl boat. Th.e repalra wllj cost |1,000, and will bo Wade by Rand & Burgor.

Her maohlnery will be now, ajlthsslll be or beat make, although tho (lontfpets have not, as yet,been let. The Milwaukee Shipyard oom- pany have gained quite a reputation as builders of fine lumber oarrlers, having built several within the past few years, and the new ono will, no doubt, be as good In model and as staunoh In build as any of the others. She Is being built lor a combina¬ tion of Milwaukee vesselmen, and will cost about $28,000. The three-nnd-aftonchoonor Pride, Cap¬ tain Joseph Clauimann, had ma/e five trips between "Bailey's Harbor and Milwaukee up to last Saturday. She has averaged one round trip per week, and for four times In succession arrived at the Harbor on Saturday morning of each week. The Pride carries about 75 cords of wood. '__The schooner Pathflndor Monday-loaded 40,000 bushels of wheat for Buffalo «t2)£ cents. The schooner Maumee Valley has gone tp Manistee to load lumber for Chicago at »1.62tf. The steambarge Milwaukee was docked at tho Milwaukee shipyard Tuesday, to receive a new sheriff wheel. A heavy northeast gale set In at 11 o'clock Monday night, and still continues. .AH of the big steambarges and theii' oonsorts wbloh left here ran back from fifty miles down the lake. No serious disasters are as yet reported. The passenger steamer Chicago, while leavlng-here Tuesday morning, struck the south pier, stove In her paddle box, broke her wheel, and had to return.

The barge Kel¬ logg was In drydook for repairs to her bow, the steamer F & P. MT. No. 1 having col- lided with her on Lake Michigan. The Lateamsblp-Monohansettgota new mainmast, the steamer Imperial, 'which was launched last week Is gett'ng her cabins put on and will beready by the end of the week. She will take the place of the steamer Im¬ perial now Infuse by the distillers. The latter has been sold and will have a new name.. Miller Brothers have built two derricks for Palmer, Trowbridge & Co, coal merchants; three; for the Silver Creek Conl Company, and one for John Murray, coal merchant, all to be used for unloadtag-coal at tholr docks. The L. M & L. S. Transportation Com¬ pany's steamship J. L. Hurd, arrived at this port with a genera! cargo on the afternoon of the 22d of May, from Ashland, Lake Su¬ perior.

The Favorite with her tow was passing In, when the undertow created by the propeller caused the lines on the schooner Industry, which was lying in the cut, to part, and she swung partly across the channel. Instantly afterward the little vessel was struck by the first barge of the tow, and her rudder broken, the martingale displaced and tlio other damages of a more or less serious nature Inflicted. The Industry wob loaded with wood and was lying in the canal waiting for favorable weather to pro ceed south. The damages are being repaired as test they can.

The nominal rate en corn to Midland was 1^ oents; to Kingston, 4 conts, The Anchor line uhurtered propellers to ar¬ rive, for corn to Erie at 2 cents, tho capacity being 200,000 bushels The advantage the propeller lines have over other craft Is thus seen Chicago harbor Is crowded with standard tonnage, but as the craft do not be long to propeller lines they must bo Idle, while the Anchor line charters craft which are only Just leaving Bullaloou tho way up. The thioiigh rates from Chicago to New York wero 57„ cents on com nnd 03,, cents on wheat , The steambarge Missouri and bargei went aahoro at Point au Barque* on Saturday, but wero released. The Missouri and Fame eaoh lost 80,000 feet of lumber. The steamer Shebnygan ploked up the tug M. Shields In a disabled orindltlon eight miles off Chicago and towed her Into this port. ' The sohooner Emily B. Maxwell arrived here-last Thursday. She oollldod with tho schooner Lotus off Raolhe Wednesday and lost hor jlbboom and carried away'some headgear. The Lotus was. towed into Mil¬ waukee, having sustained considerable dam- ago to her rail, atauohlons and plankahear. The steamship Onoko took out 80,000 bushels of corn and 20,000 bushels of rye.. She left for Buffalo. This Is the largest oar go of grain ever carried by ifloke oraft.

She Is the largest craft on the lakes, and Is considered a paying Investment. . T. W. , DULUTH. Special to the Afartni Maori The propeller Prussia, falsely reported fast on Lake Superior last week, arrived lost Saturday and cleared for Mlchiplcotten river and way ports. The Prussia Is the only boat running on that route and is being will patronized. Considerable rivalry exists as to who shall make the best record at discharging cargoes, •which is becoming one of the necessities of lake navigation. There Is a slight Improvement In the depth of water In Duluth harbor. Vessels that ' had hard work clearing the ilioalFat 14*feet earlier In the season can now load to 14!,,. Still it Is a matter of regret that all dredging has ceaBed, owing to the want of npprorirl i- tlons fpr that purpose, as the Inadequate depth of water prevents first class vessels loading to their full capacity. The steambarge Siberia brought 1,020 tons of coal to Duluth last week, of which she was unloaded In fourteen hours. She cleared with 00,000 bushels of wheat towing the'Croton with 23,000 bushels.
