HAS A NEW SCHEDULE.

Has Been Necessitated By International Laws.

In compliance with an order received from the Canadian authorities the steamer Rochester of the Richelieu & Ontario Navigation company's line, will not stop at the Canadian points between Ogdensburg and Toronto. The order is in accordance with the law against an American registered steamer engaging in Canadian coastwise trade.

The order necessitates some changes in the schedule of the steamers operating between Toronto and Ogdensburg. The steamers Toronto and Kingston will resume their old runs, cancelling their special service westbound to Toronto. The Rochester will run direct from Clayton to Toronto, leaving Alexandria Bay at 2:10 in the afternoon, the same time as the steamers Kingston and Toronto but will not make Kingston.

It is contrary to the laws of both the United States and Canada for a foreign boat to carry passengers from one domestic port to another. The Rochester then, being registered under the American flag, cannot carry passengers from Brockville or Kingston to Toronto. The steamers Kingston and Toronto being registered under the Canadian flag may carry passengers from one Canadian port to another but cannot carry passengers from one American port to another. Any vessel, however, may carry passengers from a domestic port to a foreign or from a foreign to a domestic port.

Passengers for Kingston or Brockville will leave Toronto at 6 p.m. Passengers leaving Toronto at 2:30 on the steamer Rochester will have to transfer at Ogdensburg.

The Rochester runs on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday, touching at American ports only before reaching Toronto.

p.8 Gananoque, July 5th - ...The coal schooner Horace Taber cleared light for Oswego, N.Y., for another load. The Rockport Navigation Co.'s steamer Missisquoi made the run as far as Ogdensburg on Friday for the first of the season.

p.12 Buried Treasure - between Oshawa and Whitby there is a marsh along the shore which used to be bay; in September 1813 a Canadian schooner carrying specie to pay the militia at Fort York spotted an American vessel, entered bay, dropped a barrel of gold in water while reloading treasure.
