NAvreAT1oN.-1t is ru,nored that the
strong winds on Wednesday and Thursday
made an awful destruction Of the ice in the
lower part Of Lake Pepin, breaking it up
nearly to Lake City. The ice on the river
is in very rotten condition, and all travel
ing upon it has been suspended for more
thana week. There is every prospect that
the river and lake will be clear and the boats
running by the 18th Of the coming month.
We see by our Dubuque exchanges that the
ice in front Of that city is fast moving away
and leaving the river open. That ice -boat
must do what she does quickly OF she will
have to defer her trial trip to another season.
