Ice items from the Gardiner Reporter; On
Saturday afternoon last the Knckerbocker
and half hours, at the rate of % cakes per
minute. This, we believe, is the quickest
time ever made on the Kennebec. The
knickerbocker Co. were obliged to stop op-
erations at their Chelsea houses on Wednes-
day night last on account of thin ice. They
lack some 5000 tons of filling their houses,
having put in about 70 600 tons. The officers
of the Pittston Ice Co., are as follows: Pres
ident, Arthur Berry Secretary and Treasur-
ID. c. Palmer and |. G. Vannah. They have
their house nearly full of as good ice as there
is on the river.

Verdict OF the Jury on the Death of John

Verdict OF the Jury on the Death Of John
T. Ross.
The coroner's jury on the case closed their
hearing at Hallowell, yesterday, and arrived
at the following verdict
The jury find that "the said John T. Ross,
of Hallowell, in the County of Kennebec,
came to his death some time between the
hours of ten and twelve o'clock A. NJ, on
Sunday, the fifteenth day of March, A. d.
1874, in a coach, while being conveyed from
Gardiner to IIallowell; and that the immedi-
ate cause of his death was a fit, resulting
from exposure to the cold incident to his re-
moval, while suffering from a severe attack
of erysipelas in the head and face. And the
jurors are decided in their opinion, in view
of all the facts, that proper regard for hui
man life, by those who knew and had an OPP
portunity of knowing his condition, would
have prompted them to have furnished him
with proper medical treatment and comfortable
quarters, as they must have known his condi-
ton demanded, or called upon the proper au-
thorities to have done so.

Celebration ola Crystal Wedding,

On Monday evening the friends of Mr..
Henry M. Pishon and wife of this city, ccle-
brated the crystal wedding of that worthy
couple by a'surprise party at their home on
Melville street. 1t was indeed "surprse,
and not one of those occasions that are well
known beforehand to the parties interested.
Forty or fifty persons made a raid upon the
domicile at about eight O'clock carry ing with
them large number of elegant presents APP
propriate to the fifteenth anniversary of the
wedding day. Among the presents were a
silver ice pitcher, salver and goblets, vases,
and large number of beautiful and useful
articles. In behalf of friends. present and
absent, the gifts were presented by Maj. T.
M. Fogler, in neat little speech, which was
briefly responded to by Mr.. Pishon. The
company then partook of a bountiful supper,
the supplies for which had been brought by
the visiting "surprisists." Then the Judge
took down the violin that had been suspended
upon the wall, and for an hour or more the
dancers had their ownway. Good judges say
that the Judge knows how to draw the bow.
