        The Launch of the "TWO FANNY'S" -
        
        Our friends across the bay, had quite a gala day, on
      Tuesday, of last week, on the occassion of launching at
      Peshtigo, this fine vessel. The Oconto Pioneer gives a
      glowing account of the spectacle, from which we glean
      the following: "The vessel is one of the largest on the
      lakes, and is capable of carrying 30,000 bushels of
      grain, or 400,000 feet of lumber. He length is 160 feet,
      beam 34 feet, hold 12 1/2 feet, tonnage 600 and draws
      5 1/2 feet of water.
        The architect, and builder, is Mr. Thos. Spear, from
      Maine, who with a crew of 35 ship-builders, mostly from
      the same state, commenced work on her in December last,
      and she will be ready to sail in three weeks.
