SHOULD DO A GOOD BUSINESS.

[Oswego Palladium]

A.R. Lee, Detroit, president of the Star Cole line of steamers, and Robert Maxwell, general manager of that line, were here on Saturday making arrangements for the running of a steamer between Oswego and the Thousand Islands. Although the plans have not been fully arranged it is believed that the steamer Arundell will be placed on the route. The season will open June 15th. The Arundell carries 700 passengers and makes an average speed of fifteen miles an hour between Port Huron and Detroit. The boat will make daily trips, the run down being made in daylight and the up run at night. She will call at Kingston.

Not a bushel of her cargo was damaged, although the vessel struck on her way down, and her steam-pumps were, of necessity, kept working during the remainder of the trip.

p.6 General Paragraphs - The steamer King Ben arrived last night with a cargo of coal for Swift & Co. from Oswego, N.Y. She will return tomorrow with lumber.

The Richelieu & Ontario steamer Hamilton called at Swift's last night, bound for Montreal with a full passenger list and a heavy cargo of freight.

A Vessel Ashore - Oswego, May 5th - The schooner W.Y. Emery, of Toronto, bound for Oswego, light, is ashore about a mile west of here. Tugs and a life-saving crew have gone to her assistance. The vessel is resting on the beach and as there is but little wind she is in no danger. There is no chance of any accidents having happened to the crew. It is supposed the boat got too close during a heavy fog.
