The intensely cold weather of Tuesday
night and yesterday having filed the river
with heavy floating ice, navigation, for the
present, is suspended. The canal is en-
tirely frozen over, and the white, still fields
extend far cut into the main channel from
1 either shore, both above and below the
bridge. The river is said to be gorged at
several places between here and Cincinnati,
and, being very low, few nights hard
freezing will give it a solidlty which will not
be easily moved. The prospects al present
look ominous for a long and severe winter.
At all events the river has not closed SO
early for several years before. According
to our local port register navigation was sus-
pended at this point last year on Saturday,
the oath of December, and the river re-
manned closed until January I, 1871, when
navigation was resumed.

For several days past negro man named
RI hard Richards has been held in jail for
con uniting trial on the somewhat ugly
chaHe Of hog stealing, it being until yester-
day In possible to secure the attendance OF
important witnesses, both for and against
the aecn ed. The case was yesterday fully
investigated by Justice Wilkinson, and re
suited in tl9 acquittal of Richards, there be-
ing no proof whatever to make it appear
that he was probably guilty. Besides, a
number of rep liable witnesses testified to
the good character of the defendant, and
that they regarded him as an honest and
industrious man. Occasionally it transpires
that good name is worth more than great
riches. rs
