THE MASTEN IS SAFE.

Jas. Ragan, a farmer from Wolfe Island, son of Mrs. Nobbs of this city, was a sailor on the schr. J.G. Masten which is reported to have been lost. There is much anxiety here as to the whereabouts of the craft. Felix Quigley, son of Patrick Quigley, of Wolfe Island, was also on board the Mastin. His father was in the city anxiously inquiring if there were further news about the vessel to hand. Thomas Mitchell, from Kingston, on the schooner, has been asked about by friends.

The Latest Particulars.

The Masten is safe. A Mackinac dispatch says: "The schooner J.G. Masten, which became separated from the tow of the Keystone during the recent gale on Lake Michigan, passed down on Tuesday evening under canvas. Three of her head sails were missing; otherwise she appeared to be uninjured."

Incidents Of The Day - coal cost $4.80 a ton at Oswego, not 80 cents (as reported earlier).
