Notes
Death
DISASTROUS WRECK. - The Ashtabula Sentinel states that the schooner PARROT, of that port sailed for Detroit on the 19th May, and is supposed to have foundered. The vessel was of about twenty tons burden, and had the following persons on board: Thomas Booth, Captain; James Parrish and George Shepherd, hand; and Col. William Humphrey, passenger, all of Ashtabula and Wm. Leach, of Ohio, and Brainard, of New York, also passenger. The PARROT's cargo was iron, glass and whiskey, with a deck load of live hogs. Most of the hogs swam ashore the day after the PARROT sailed; and subsequently her false keel, small boat, and Col. Humphrey's trunk were washed ashore by the surf. From these facts, no doubt remains that the vessel foundered, with all on board - probably in the heavy squall which she was known to have encountered soon after leaving port.Buffalo Commercial Advertiser

SCHOONER PARROT. - Messrs. Hubbard & Parsons, and Amos Fisk, of Ashtabula, owners of the schooner recently lost, from that port, offer a reward of 300 dollars for the delivery of the vessel to them, without material injury; or 150 dollars to any person who will find her, and fix a sufficient buoy to her, to mark the spot where she may be found.
