      The ST. STEPHENS is the name of a fine looking craft which passed down yesterday morning. She belongs to the scow order, and was built at Swan Creek. Her carrying capacity is 120,000 ft. of lumber. She is strong and substantially put together and possessed of an entire new fit out, which is not usually the case with crafts of this kind. She is now on her first voyage.
