, is it to be held that this county : the canals or that it does not ntain a majority of inhabitants who be lieve that the state should guard and amplity itsown? The patent absurdity of such an argument may help the reader to see the _ true character of similar arguments that are afloat. It is of the utmost importance to the state at large that New York should treat its canals as its most precious possession. This is a proposition which, we submir, all intel- ligent citizens of New York, no matter where they live, will approve of and act upon. The new legislature is said to be of exceptional intelligence. That fact gives the true friends of the canal their highest hope.— Buffalo Express. EARLY SANDUSKY DISTRICT SHIP- BUILDING. 4 Sanpusky, Dee. 12. Special Correspondence ef the Marine Record. By the kindly interposition of Collector Finch I have been permitted the use of the enrollment documents in the collector’s office, and submit the following list of ves- sels of all descriptions, that have been bullt owned or documented in the Sandusky dis- trict since 1816. The two schooners first mentioned, the Sylph and Wasp, were brought here, the first from New London, Conn., the other from Lansingbure, N. Y., up the Mohawk river, down Good creek to Oswego and up around Niagara Falls, thence to Portland, now Sandusky. ‘The next two, the General Brown and Crogan, were built on Sandusky river and if they had legal papers they obtained them from the Erie or Detroit districts. One ob- ject in resurrecting these old-time vessels is like calling over the names of our old and long-dead friends. Another object is to make a comparison between the vessels of earlier days and now. A history of most of them would be as difficult to write as a history of the ‘‘Lost Tribes,’? but would be very inter- esting to old sailors. : SCHOONEKS, Where Built. p= SESE RR NS, SEG ERE SBS RRL SE TIER OER SES Name.

WALKING ON THE WATER, Alphonso King, of Paris, the water walker, who attempted to walk across the Niagara River recently, on Friday attempted to walk on the water from the Buartholdi statne to the Brooklyn bridge. Harry Webb and two friends were in as+kiff accompanying him. King, dressed in an ordinary suit, put on his shoes, which are 82 inches long. 8 inches wide, and 9inches high, and started without a balance pole. The water was rough, and it was windy, and he had great difficulty in keeping his balance, His progrers was very slow, and every minute the occupants sup- posed he woul! topple over. When ap- proaching the turn into the battery the waves dashed against the walker, and he suffered trom the cold. Webb was afraid the boat would upset, and was nearly frozen, He beckoned King to walk faster. King tried to increaxe his pace, but the wind and strong current prevented him from doing so. Finally no headway was made, and King gave itup. Brandy was given to him, his limbs were rubbed, and the boat headed for the battery, where the party Janded, King says in this weather he would not make another attemptin New York Bay for $500. His feat was the greatest ever accomplished in rough water. He was on the water one hour and five minutes. He has walked across the Mississippi, and covered one mile and a half down the Ohio River. A HAUNTED VESSEL. A queer story comes trom Bathurst, N.B., where the ship Squando Was lately wrecked, [t is very difficult tv get men to work in her, and especfally at night. Queer noises were heard in the cabin of the vessel, which no one could explain, and the men belfeve the vessel is haunted, There seems to be some fatality about her, When the Squando was in San Francisco some years ago the captain and his wife killed the first mate, severing his head completely from his body with an ax. The captvin was hanged and bis wife got a long sentence of imprisonment. The uew captain was subsequently killed during a mutiny and the two following captains died on board the vessel. It was alleged by the master and sailors, whoarrived at Bath- urst on her, that she was haunted, and they left her in a body. The Norwegian consul then engaged two watebmen to look after her, but one night on board was enough. They allege that they saw a headless man walking in the cabin, that the bed clothes Were pulled off them, that handspikes were |. fiving around the deck, and that a cold clammy band was laid on their faces and a voice told them to depart, and subsequent watchmen say that they saw a boat,mauned by four men, hovering around the ship, which had the power of appearing and dis- appearing at will. The vessel is now with- outa watchman, as none can be found to stay on board during the night. The win- ister of customs has ordered an investiga- tion into the cause of the wreck. eum Subscribe for the Marine Recorp. ST. CLAIR SHIP CANAL.
