The Ice TRADE-Large quantities
of ice are now being transported by
boats to this city, from up the North
River We understand that Messrs
Reeve Il Williams, of the Elizabeth Ice
Company, have been compelled to pur-
chase some 1000 tons of ice from the
Lake, to be delivered at different Pc

firm expect to do much larger bust
ness this season than formerly, and
will readily dispose of some 5000 tons.
Some 800, 900 or $50, 1000 capital stock
is required to conduct their business.
We hope they may not be disappoint-
ed in their calculations. In the mean
time, those who need pure ice left at
their house, are invited to leave their
orders at the various stores advertised.

day took passage in a horse-car, and in
payment of their fare, rendered coun'
terfeit fifty cent stamp, which the con
ductor of course, declined to receive
An explanation followed, and through
the kindness of the conductor, the Ia

their destination. They subsequently
handed their fare to the conductor. -
The ladies were bewildered on being
told that the stamp was worthless, and
being strangers, naturally felt the deli

could not be extinguished, ordered La
fayette Hook and Ladder Company,
No. l, to ''haul down the walls" which
was done with a will-the Lafay
boys being finally joined by Jackson
Hook and Ladder Company No. 2, and
the work of demolition was soon COM
plete.
Officer Walker, who lives near by,
was one of the first persons who reach
ed thespot after the fire had broken out.
He informs us that the flames were first
discovered issuing from under the roof,
in the rear part of the building, and he
is of the opinion that some hummer"
had taken quarters there during the
night, and perhaps after lighting pipe
or segar, had carelessly thrown the
same upon the foor-subsequently leav-
ing to resume his pilgrimage. At all
events, no one occupied the dwelling,
which had but recently been repaired,
painted, &c. A family, however, were
to have taken possession to-day. The
building belonged to Mr.. Anthony W.
Dimock, and is total loss.
