eoaN CoNNERToN's Ice SToCK.-We yes
te.lay paid visit to John Connexions
ice-house, on upper Main street. His
stock of ice is the finest we ever inspected
The blocks, sawed out of the pond by ex-
act surface measurement, are eight inches
thick, two feet wide and three feet long,
and are as clear as Brazilian pebble. The
ee-house is enveloped on all sides with
from to 10 feet of sawdust, and the roof
is composed of board roofs filled between
with hay. The pond where the ice is OBJ
taiued, constructed by Mr.. Connerton at
considerable expense, is from 10 to IA
miles from town. 1t is supplied by a
beautiful springfield canyon stream.
Down in the valley, conveniently near,
Mr. Connerton has another ice-house of
four times the capacity of the city house.
Four teams are constantly running be-
tween the city and the ice-houses. The
proprietor has also, at heavy cost, got on
from Philadelphia two patent cream
freezers-eXtensive enough, taken to-
gether, to keep all Lincoln county in ice
cream.
