BROKE IN TWO. -- The Clerk of the propeller ELMIRA reports that the schooner WINGS OF THE MORNING, which went ashore at Port Colborne during the late gale, has probably broken in two, Mr. S says that at a distance her stern appears to rise and fall with the waves, while the bow appears to be hard on, leaving no doubt in the minds of those on the propeller, that the schooner had broke her back. -- Cleveland Herald.
