Gentlenen,- have barely time to write you that
the steamboat Erie was entirely destroyed by fire
last night off Cataraugus Creek. She left here last
evening for Chicago, with something 200 souls
on board, including crew, (haying recently been re-
painted and repaired,) and the steamboat Clinton
bringing twenty seven only of the whole number of
persons who were on board, with the most heart
rending intelligence that the rest all drowned or
burnt The Captain of the unfortunate Erie is
among the number brought by the Clinton. can
not send you the names of the sufferers for of
time; IN fact have not yet learned whether the way
bill was saved or not About $50 Of the passengers
however, learn, were German immigrants.
