Full Text

      The barge ORONTES swung against the barge MCGILVRA at Toledo yesterday morning, and commenced leaking badly. She sank afterwards and has 4 ft. of water in her. The ORONTES is a very old vessel, and at one time belonged to the Union Steamboat Co. She was considered as long back as 1859 one of the finest propellers on the lake.
