morning foot passengers commenced
crossing aud kept it up during the day,
though the weather was so mild that the
ice grew weaker
The Dubuque Herald of the 10th, says:
a. The river frOZe over Sunday night,

the ice, although il was rather danger
Gus business. Further down skiffs we're
the only means of transferring, and

are on hand ready for duty"
