      PROPELLER POCAHONTAS. - This propeller in her passage from Toledo to this port encountered a heavy sea and when off Long Point, C. W., sprung a leak.
      The water came in so fast that to prevent her sinking in deep water, the Captain ran her ashore on Long Point, near Port Dover. The propeller CALIFORNIA went to her relief yesterday with the steam pumps of the Buffalo Mutual and Home Insurance Companies. From information already obtained it is feared she will be
a total loss. She is laden with corn and flour, which are full insured.
