DISABLED. - The Bark NORMAN proves to have been the vessel reported dismasted on Lake Huron, off Point au Barque. She arrived here Wednesday night, minus a number of her spars, and a greater portion of her canvas, and altogether in a disabled condition. She will be put in proper repair before proceeding any further. -- Detroit Free Press.
