Description
Full Text

Chicago dispatches state that there are three feet of water in the Canadian steamer CLINTON, which is ashore on Lake Ontario. The CLINTON has 18,000 bushels of rye, Chicago to Kingston. Two losses of cargo on a single trip is an almost unprecedented misfortune, even for a Canadian boat.
