         Death of Capt. SAMUEL WARD - Capt. SAMUEL WARD, whose name,
       in connection with steamboating in the west, is well known
       throughout the country, died at his residence in Newport on

       Capt. E. B. WARD, been at the head of the steamboat interest
       on the lakes; and at the time of his death, a large number
       of steamboats were either wholly or partly under his owner-
       ship. CAPT. WARD had obtained a green old age, being over
       70 years old at the time of his death. His loss is lamented
       by a large number of relatives and acquaintances.
