The marine reporters are complaining of too much privacy in marine matters. News is always kept quiet. We have no trouble here, as owners and Captains are always willing to let the public know what is really transpiring.

Mrs. Wright, of St. Catharines, who so romantically became possessed of a fortune reported in last night's paper, is the wife of Capt. Emerson Wright, of the prop. Dominion and formerly of the prop. Prussia. The Captain and his good lady are heartily congratulated in their wind fall.

The schooner Oliver Mowat, with a cargo of corn on for Fairhaven, scudded out of the harbor last night with Capt. John Saunders in command. The Mowat is one of the best lake schooners and her record has been greatly improved under the careful management of a trained mariner.

Captain Fraser's Empire dry dock is now in working order, and the barge Russel, belonging to the Metamora fleet, is receiving repairs. The barge Manley will be placed in the dock tomorrow and the schooner Norway goes upon it on Monday. After then it is hoped that from one to two vessels can be docked daily. Caulkers are in much demand.
