DETROIT, Special to the Marine Record, ‘The propeller Idaho, en route from Chi- cago to Buffalo, which ealled here on Satur- | day, reported the loss of a young lady pas- senger on Saginaw Bay, The lady was a niece of E.'I, Evans, manager of the Lake Superior Transit steamer line at Buffalo, which was her place of residence. ‘I'he ex- act time of her disappearance cculd not be definitely arrived at. She was last seen on Friday morning while crossing Saginaw Bay. The lake was somewhat rough, and her failing to appear at the dinner hour gave rise to some feelings of uneasiness. Yet it was surmised that this was owing to seasick- néss, as Others of the passengers were labor- ing under its eftects. On arriving in the St. Clair river the supper hour had arrived, and she being still absent, a general search was made, but she could not be found. She hid been visiting friends at Chicago and was without an attendant. The old propeller Ontonagon, latterly a steambarge, took fire on the St. Clair river on Monday, morning, while upward bound with three barges in tow, when opposite the Star Island House. She was put ashore and scuttled onthe Canada side, but will prove a total loss. She was built at Buffalo by Bid- well & Banta in 1856, but rebuilt in 1867, She was owned by W. S. McLean, ot East Saginaw, was 685 tons burden and unin- sured. Her valuation was about $8,000. The steambarge Oukiand, which was lost on Lake Erie a few days since, was probably the oldest bottom atloat on the lakes, having been constructed from the ‘steamboat Mis- souri, 2 high pressure sidewheel, commis- sioned in 1840, belonging to Reed’s line at Erie, Pa. . ‘ The steamers.

The lighthouse supply steamer Dahlia loaded here on Friday and departed on Sat- urday. The quantity of grain and other products passing this port during a single week from Chicago far surpasses the exports of 1842 which was as follows: . Wheat, 586,907 bush- els; corn, 35,358 bushels; Oats, 35,486 bush- ; flour, 2,920 barrels; beef, 762 barrels; perk and hams, 15,447 pounds; lard, 367,200 pounds; tallow, 151,300 pounds; soap, 2,400 pounds; candles, 500 pounds; brooms, 5,587 ; hides, 6,747; peas, 484 bushels; fish, 915 pounds; maple sugar, 4,500 pounds; barley, 1,090 bushels; tobacco, 300 pounds, lead, 59,890 pounds; butter, 24,200 pounds; flax- seed, 759 bushels; feathers, 2,409 pounds; wool, 1,500 pounds; furs and peltry; 446 packs. Just ten years previous (1832) the first steamer arrived at that port in the month of June—the Sheldon Thompson, Captain A. Walker, with United States troops on board for the Black Hawk war. Simultaneously there arrived tive vessels with supplies for that port, consisting chiefly of pork, beef and flour. ‘The contrast during the ten subsequent years may be noted as remarkable, The equinoctial storm has sect in, and the usual routine of disaster may be looked for. Grain freights, also staves remain as last reported. Within the past week ejght car- goes have been shipped to Buffalo at 3c ana two of staves at $6, $8 and $10, with but few of the latter on hand for shipment, At preg- ent there are no Indications of a rise in either case. Cargoes of wood arrive almost daily, chiefly from Port Burwell and Rond- Eau. From the latter port there has been received from 1,500‘ to 2,000 cords, the freight on which is $1.25 ‘per cord, making the net cost here at $5.26. Beach and maple are the only kinds received here from those points which sells for $6, cordwood length the sawing of which amounts to 60 cents (Continued on dih page.) RN
