STRUCK A ROCK. - The scow SPANKER, while leaving Elm Creek, a few days since, with a cargo of lumber, unfortunately struck a rock, knocking a hole in her bottom. Her deck load was taken off and replaced on the dock, when she came over to this port for repairs, which will consume some two or three days' time. - Detroit Free Press.
