ON HORSE-SHOE REEF. - The bark POTOMAC, lumber laden, ran on the reef at the entrance of Niagara river, when coming into port Saturday night. The tug RELIEF was out nearly all day Sunday trying to haul her off, but without success. A high wind and a heavy sea will probably have the effect to destroy the bottom of the vessel.

The bark POTOMAC that ran on the reef in Buffalo Bay will probably be a total loss.
