IcE FoR NEXT SuMMER-The. Boston Traveller
says In the year 1858 the bulk of the ice crop
sin this vicinity cut and housed in the latter
part Of March. Some years before, Fresh Pond
did not freeze till into April. The present wealth
er does not discourage the ice dealers, as there
mometer may go several degrees below zero. We
learn that there are less than 5000 tons of old
ice on hand-enough to keep up the retail de-
mand for less than two months.
OF course there is good deal of speculation
as to our supply for the hot weather of next sum-

and in saving it for cold weather. We can do

warm. Providence has some good in all this and
we should not compain now that we have no ice

hand in marriage to a lowly miller. But tho
gay Lothario solemnly affirmed that he didn't

seat of her parental relatives to the marriage

chanteress could be prevailed upon to wave any
conscientious scruples she might have about flial
obedience, and place few leagues between her
and that authority. She expressed entire
willingness to accompany her prospective 'liege
