NAUTICAL AND SCIENTIFIC. Another expedition of two steamers, a military force, and three guns started trom Norfolk, Va., last night against the illegat -oyster-dredgers. The schooner Eureka was sold by Captain ‘W. Dandy to Messrs. Chadwick and Cham- "bers for 2.000. She was purchased at auc- ‘tion a week ago for $1,300. ‘Two powerful marine firms in this locality ‘have arrived at an arrangement whereby they will not work all next season for noth- ‘ing. ‘The competition was too strong. The Bayfield Press says that D. Best re- ‘ports having visited the schooner Maple Leaf ‘at Iron river and that to all appearances she ‘ie all right and may be rescued in the spring. Senator Ferry, of Michigan has intro- ‘duced a bill providing for the erection of a ‘lighthouse at Elmer Foot Shoal, Poverty Passuge, near Escanaba. Ontonagon is the only other harbor on Lake Superior recognized by the new river and harbor bill, It secures an appropria- tion of $15,000. Congressmen Hubbel has presented the petition of fifty-five vessel owners for an appropriation of $100,000 for the further improvement of the harbor of refuge at ‘Grand Marais, Lake Superior. Kingston Whig: Ata meeting of the di- ‘rectors of the Richelieu and Ontario Navi- :gation Company the steamers Passport and Magnet were leased to the Toronto, Grey ‘and Bruce railway for five years at $5,000 per annum. ‘The steamers are to run on the ‘Georgian Bay in connection with the rail- way. Smith & Adame have purchased the fine ‘propeller Messenger to place on the Che- ‘boygan and Manistique route'instead of the: Van Raalte which has proved too small for the rapidly growing business which has "been built up along the south. shore of this peninsula. ‘This leaves the Van Raalte with- out business. Mr. Jay Gould’s new yacht,.in which he iis to cireuinnavigate the globe, is of course, “a flouting palace. Among its notable ‘features is. an arrangement by which a state- room can be turned intoa bath-tub and no harm done. To ordiniry mortals such a combination would seem impossible, but as Mr. Gould never speculates ‘he has a good deal of money to expend ‘in experimental fancy fixings. The cargo of the lost steamer Glamorgan was:valued at nbout $200,000, on which there was an insurance in the'local offices of Boston, ineluding the foreign agencies es- ‘tabhshed there, of about $100,000; but no definite statement can be made as many con- signees are accustomed to insure on open polices who have not yet received invoices. ‘There was considerable insurance in Euro- pean offices. By Mr. Robinson, of New York: A reso- lution calling on the Secretary of State tor information as to whether the officers of the Briti-h steamship Republic, within a few days past, held an immigrant under arrest until they sent for the British Consul and held a pretended trial before the British Consul, within the territory of the United States, before allowing said immigrant to land. Mr. Neelon’s large composite ship now under construction by the Shickluna bro- thers begina to assume shape. Tre frame work is entirely out of wrought iron, ‘The riba are all in position and riveters are at work joining the flanges to which the in- ner and outer planking will be united. So ‘far the wood workers have no: had a chance to show much of their handiwork, but they will soon have plenty to do on the St. Catharines leviathan.

Harris was an- chored in the bay at Brazos, Santiago, dur- ng a dense fog, a full-grown wildcat, which it is supposed had floated down the river on a log, presumably concluded to take a free passage to @alvestun on the wheel house, on which he climbed, creating something of a sensation on board the vessel. ‘I'he boys on the ship got ropes and lassoed the animal, catching him around the head and the hind legs with the ropes, and succeeded in cag- ing him. On the arrival of the Harris at the Galveston wharf he was taken off and deposited in one of the sheds, He is a large, sleek, and rather good-natured looking fel- low, and lucks the gaunt and hungry look of the animal generally on exhibition in shows.
