Osceola (Brig), aground, 1 Nov 1843

Disasters on the lakes. -- We get intelligence from Capt. Munson of the ship SUPERIOR, who came passenger on the stmb. CLEVELAND, of the loss of the brig OSCEOLA, at Southport, Wis. The OSCELOA had a cargo of 6,000 bu. wheat, received at that place, when a gale came on with such force as to completely drive her over the pier, and force her on shore. About 2,000 bu. wheat was saved with the assistance of the citizens of Southport; the remainder, with the vessel will prove a total loss, the vessel being stove entirely to pieces.
The OSCEOLA, was a fine vessel, nearly new, owned by Oliver Lee, of this city; she was insured for $3,000 in one of the Buffalo offices. The wheat was consigned to Messrs. Kinne, Davis & Co., of this city, and was insured.
