¦¦? m AUKS. THE HASIBUEG-AMEEICAN PACKET 00.'S STEAMER "HERDER. The Oliver Mbwat and HerbertDudley lay windbound at Four-Mite Point yesterday. The former is bound for Charlotte with ore, and the latter for Windsor with rye. The schr White Oak is loading ore for Fairhaven at 50c, an increase of rive.cents. She will bring back coal at 30c. Captains complain of the light at Nine-dVlile Point. The good light has been removed, and a dim one pub in its place. 1 Mariners Shoal, at South Bay, is buoyed. It is very dan* gerous to those not acquainted with the locality. Buffalo Notes. Buffalo, Nov. 15.—The barge Montgomery will lay up on arrival here. Mr. S. L. Watson has placed the schrs Watson and Van* derbilt in winter quarters at Cleveland. The stiff westerly winds continued yesterday, and upbound vessels were obliged to wait a little longer. The prop James Fisk, Jr., which sailed shortly before noon, was the only craft leaving port. The prop-* Montana, Scotia, and Morley started out on Monday night, but the latter two rau back after an experience of five or six hours. The Montana pluckily kept on her way. A despatch from W. O. Fitzgerald, of Port Huron, last nifjht brought the welcome news that Captain Edward Fitzgerald was safe in New York, and was coming home. He had been missing since the night of Oct. 27. when he left his vessel, the strain barge W II Itanium, at this port. The many vessel men in port will bo glad to hear of the captain's safety. The schr Gleniffer, which went on a reef at the mouth of Niagara River, just off the bend in Bird Island pier yester" di^. is iu about six feet of water, and there is not much in her hold. She seems to belying easy, and will likely he lightered off to-day. Detroit Jottings.

The propeller John O Gault, of the Waubash Line, has cleared for Milwaukee with35,2oo bushels of barley. The Jewett made the run down from Chicago in 72 hours and 5 minutes, which is very fast time, undoubtedly the best on record. Tug Anna J* Dorr broke her shaft while going down Niagara River last night, and was lying along side Fletcher's furnace this forenoon. Captain M Cook, of the schooner Levi Rawson, was knocked down on Maiii'-streot last night by a man who in-tended to rob him.

She cau be rescued without difficulty or great expense. During the thick weather on Saturday night the schr George Dpusman was run into by a three-and-after off' Chex UOPgan, and besides having her main sail torn had the small boats carried away from the davits, and probably demolished. The name of the colliding vessel was not learnt. The removal of the buoys from Detroit River will be j commenced to-day. Nov. 1G. | The schr J D Sawyer, lying at Division-street, Chicago, ; was run into by the prop Lawrence, and had her stern ! damaged to the extent of $390.

The grain trade, according to a Kington paper, has ceased. During the year the insurance companies have had no losses to cover in the importation service between Kingston and .Montreal. The way in which the grain has been handled shows that the barges are iu good repair. A steam pump will be sent up to the prop St Louis, . which is at Houghton in a leaking condition. It will be j shipped on the prop Arctic. No particulars could be learn* j ed of the St Louis' condition or the cause of her leakini?. j.

Conferences are being held among the tusmen witti a view to closing the season with a grand complimentary ball. The bads taven by the boys in former years were enjoyable affairs all around. Gillen & Kirby have secured the contracts for the improvements on the Grand Haven and Muskegon harbors. Their bid for the Muskegon harbor was $6,354.34 per crib: for the Grand Haven harbor, $0,240.30 per crib. There has been an unusually large number of ore carriers in the harbor the past week, all of the larger class. This reporter counted over twenty-hve yesterday, and on some days of the week chere were even more tied up here waiting/ for cargoes.— Marquette Mining Journal. This morning as the schooner Leadville was entering the horbor, a strong northwest wind, prevailed, she was driven by the sea against the. breakwater, her stern grazing that structure. ¦ Fortunately, the only damage sustained was the. shifting of her cabin deck about eight inches from its proper position.—Oswego Times- Captain Mart Swain reports that the ba¥g< George H.
