TnE RlvER.-AfAirs have changed very little
on inc Potomac since our last report. II Is said
mat inc accumulation OF ice was greater on Mon
DAY and Tuesday nights than at any other time
Tor so short a period during this season. 1t is
with the greatest tlcuty that the mail steamers,
Capt Colmary, make their trips to and from
Aqua creek yet they leave their wharf at the
foot OF Seventh street, at $3.50 o'clock a. m, each
taking her turn.
The Washington and Alexandria ferry boats
are still laying or on account of the ice Tho
Wawaset would have lett her wharf yesterday
Tor MI Vernon had II not been for the Ice. Should
the weather prove favorable between now and
Monday next she will then resume her regular
trips between this city and that place.
The Government tug Ariel did not make any
trip, as was stated by one Of the evening papers
me steam tug Fisher made trip from Sixth |
returned 10 the wharf.
One of the thirteen oyster boats, which we |
mentioncI Few days since as being ice.buund |
condition.
An APPROPRIATE TIME.-The winter, in reali. |
ty, having fingered until the present time, the |
CUTTERS Of our streets and avenues have remained
for months in a blockadcd state by snow and lee.
A partia thaw having set in yesterday, a num-
Der OF prominent thoroughfaf were rendered
nearly impossible by the melting slush and
waters which flowed over the pavcments, par |
ticularly on the south sides Of streets the grade
being d9w9Eard y would be folly to attcmpt |
purpose to demonstrate speedy and easy remedy |
for the case. On New York avenue, between
Ninth and Tenth streets, the pavement was com.
pleteiy Inundated, and pedestrians were con-.
PEELED, In many instances, to resort to the middle
Of the streets proferring shoe deep of mud 10
ankle deep OF water. Ladies passing In the
locality In QueatiOn n blush al |
occasions In order to keep their skirts clear of
the debris from the CUTTERS We hope tho al.
thorltles VIII at UnUe send their men around with
picks and spades and clear or the mountains OF
snow and Ice, that the cutters once more may
Iulhll their legitimate functions of carrying on
water from pumps as well as that occasioned by
rains.
