WHOLE NO. 351

 - Tyson and Robinson's barges and tug came into this port all right
   from their trip to Buffalo.  They went down loaded with grain.
   
 - The MESSENGER is making regular trips to Milwaukee and brings heavy
   loads of freight, but she is not able to bring freight as fast as it
   accumulates.
   
 - A schooner went into Portage Lake a short time since for a load of
   wood and bark, and the harbor filled up so that she was not able to
   get out and has been abandoned for the winter.
   
 - Navigation is about closed.  The CITY OF TOLEDO has gone to Milwaukee
   to lay up and the METROPOLIS is on her last trip for the season.  The
   MESSENGER will run as long as weather will permit.
   
  - NOTICE. - The undersigned picked up
   a Yawl boat on the beach near
   Portage on the 18th inst.  It was
   capsized and four oars were fasten-
   ed to it.  The owner can have the
   boat by proving property, paying
   charges and taking it away.

WHOLE NO. 354  
  
 - The MESSENGER came in last Saturday heavily loaded with freight, and
   is expected again as soon as the storm subsides.
   
 - The steamer "New Era", from Grand Haven, loaded with supplies for the
   Relief Committee, came here on Monday.  The captain was not familiar
   with the harbor, and signaled a tug to go out and receive the freight.
   Canfield's tugs were all laid up, and the tug MARGARET was up in the
   Little Lake without steam.  As soon as steam could be made the tug
   MARGARET went to her and took on a load but before she could return
   the weather was so stormy as to require the ERA to put to sea which
   she did without being able to unload the balance.  It is due the
   Committee to say that they had no notice that any boat was coming
   and were not prepared to receive her.
   
 Grand Traverse:
  Two fishermen were drowned at Leeland, on Sunday evening the 3d.
  
 Grand Haven:
  The schooner GUIDE was brought into Grand Haven harbor on Saturday
  by the propeller NEW ERA.  She had been drifting about Lake Michigan
  for eight days, having lost her sail the first day out.  One of the
  hands had one of his eyes put out by a blow from the jib sheet, and
  all the hands suffered much from the cold.
