The propeller CONCORD with the schooner F.J. DUNFORD in tow, both grain laden, went ashore early Wednesday morning during thick weather at Sleeping Bear, Lake Michigan. The coast there is a dangerous one, abounding with quicksands, and the recovery of property very doubtful.

      The efforts to rescue the propeller MISSOURI, stranded at Sleeping Bear, are likely to prove unsuccessful. She has been twenty-nine years in service and 588 tons burden and at one period was the fastest propeller on the lakes.
