Coon NEws.-A short time ago, we
heard great many people III our City,
predict that our citizens would suffer to
great extent next summer for the want
of that indispensable article, ice, on the
ground that there would be no cold wealth
er and no likelihood of having any, and
that we would DO compelled to so with
out it.
Now, to all those who pronounced
that prediction, allow us to say that they
are wrong in their opinion. The schoon-
err Bloom, Captain Hall, arrived here on
yesterday from Roekport. Maine, with
very large cargo Of ice for Mr. Harris
horn.
The Schooner ] Il Jewett, Capt. Low
is momently expected to arrive with
another cargo from the same place and
for the same gentleman, whose name we
mentioned above. We are informed by
Mr.. Hortshorn that he has made ample
arrangements tosupply our market with
lee next summer in any quantity that
may be demanded.

Our MARKET was well attended to-
day by our country friends, but we were
sorry to see poultry selling at such high
prices. A person could not purchase y
turkey much larger than chicken for
less than one dollar and twenty five cents
while chickens that were very poor and
indifferent are selling at one dollar pair
Vegetables commanded a very good price
We saw some very fine beef in market,
which sold at a much cheaper price than
turkeys or chickens, and we think is a
better dish.

we presume no trifing pecuniary sacrifice,
they have attained to good degree Of prof.
