noticed, 10 your valuable paper, an account of
fine sieighing, with two mules, driven by Mr.

remarkable one was performed here last Thursday
q week ago. by Mr.. Charles A. Hocomb, Jr who
started, with skates, upon the ice Dan river, at
. point about halt mile above Wilson's Ferry,
and down the falls, passing the sluice between
the Dam Of the Roanoke Navig alton Company, at
the head of the Canal, and continuing his course
along Sullvans Island, and down the river
through the greatest and most abrupt portion of
of the falls and skating most happily and success

road Bulge and returning to the falls, visiting all
Of the fl h traps, dhere being quite a number
placed under the falls.) and then dashed back to
the Southern bank, and repaired to Williams new
and elegant Exchange Hotel, and richly enjoyed
refreshments and . sumptuous dinner in waiting
for him.
The next day three gentlemen made the same
feat, and performed it most successfully, to the
imiration and astorishment of every beholder.-
The ice was generally from to 8 inches thick,
aud one of our old settlers who had been In this
place 50 years. declared that such feat had never
been performs d. ncr had be ever seen a. much
ice nor as cold a winter as the present.
The ice commenced breaking up last Saturday,
aud on Sunday exhibited beautiful and rich scene
in its mighty rushing power, In escaping and
gliding down the noble old Dan, to be emptied with
the waters of the Roanoke into the Atlantic
Ocean.
The snow is passing away also. and our farmers
will soon be at Worthwhile business here is be.
