ASHORE. - The schr. JENNIE MULLEN, which went ashore about nine miles above Oswego in a heavy gale on Saturday night, is leaking badly. Her cargo is wet and the vessel badly damaged. She was loaded with wheat consigned to Irwin & Sloan, Oswego. On the same night and near the same spot, the schr. HOMEWARD BOUND, laden with lumber, went ashore. The tug CRUSADER pulled her off and took her into port, waterlogged.
