         CAPT. AUGUSTUS TODD, widely known at one period through-
       out the lakes as commander of barks and steam crafts, died
       at his residence at Mackinaw City, where he has resided
       since his retirement from the lakes. He was at one time a
       resident of Conneaut, sailing vessels out of that port as
       early as 1834, and afterwards from Buffalo. After leaving
       the lakes he was elected one term a Representative to the
       Michigan Legislature, while the Capitol was at Detroit.
       CAPT. TODD was upward of 70 years of age.
