STEAM BARGE TRADER AGROUND. - The steam barge TRADER, lumber laden, while attempting to enter the Detroit River, Wednesday night, during thick weather, ran hard on Peach Island Reef, and will doubtless require lightering before she can be liberated. She has one or two barges in tow. Assistance has been sent to her from Detroit, and up to Thursday afternoon the TRADER had not been released.
