  [extracts of marine news]

           Along the Shore..
        Manistee - From the Times we learn that the propeller MANISTEE,
     which left Milwaukee on the evening of the 20th, while entering
     Manistee harbor the next morning, struck on the engine of the pile
     driver, burned at the time of the great fire, and which lay on the bed
     of the river, breaking in one of the bottom planks of the vessel. She
     was heavily loaded with lumbermen's supplies, but by vigorous pumping
     she was kept afloat, although she leaked badly, until she arrived at
     Canfield's dock, where although the city fire engine came to her
     assistance, she sunk in nine feet of water. Her cargo was safely dis-
     charged, and the damage was not serious.

        Grand Haven - From the Herald, we learn that on Monday of last week
     the IRONSIDES was from half past four until nine o'clock in making her
     way through the ice of that famous winter harbor, from the mouth of
     the river to the wharf.


NOTE: no further marine news in February.
