      S.A. Murphy has contracted with the insurance companies to release and deliver to Manitowac the schr. C.H. BURTON, ashore near Green Bay. She went on last fall and was abandoned by her owners. She was built in 1867, and was formerly known as the GLENBULAH. She was rebuilt in 1873, classed A 2 and was valued at $19,000. The schooner is in pretty bad condition, but it is thought she can be repaired and put in first class order.
