THE ICE CROP

The prospect Of fortunes this year in the
ice business is fading out under the influence
of the recent cold. According to appear
ances the harvest will be large, the late scare
tending to increase activity in gathering.
Reports from Massachusetts are to the effect
that large stocks will be secured. The New
York papers of Saturday say:
The all-absorbing topic along the Hudson
at the present time is the ice crop. Forty
eight hours ago icemen generally took very
gloomy view Of the situation, but since then
matters have changed greatly, and the pros
poets to-day for a good ice harvest are fifty
per cent. better than they were two days ago.
In fact, the harvesting of the crop has already
commencement exactly all along the line,
but in the upper Hudson, at Schodack, Stuy-
vesant, Coxsackie, and Stockport. Men are
at work at all those places to-day, flooding
the ice, and there is a hurrying to and fro of
laborers with ice tools, and the cut is to be
commenced on Monday at the places named,
when the ice will, without doubt, be ten inch
es in thickness. At Barrytown gang ofmen
arc working in the cove for the Consumers
Company. They are getting out ice ten inch
es thick, and drag it By wagons nearly half
mile to the large house of the company. An
agent of the Washington Ice Company has
been making tour of the coves in the upper
Hudson this week to ascertain the thickness
and quality of the ice with view of having it
cut and loaded on trains of cars. He has re-
ported to the President of the company that
it is unfit for use as the continued southwest
erly and westerly winds have filled it with
cinders from passing locomotives on the IIud-
son River Railroad. 1t was the intention, in
case it was fit to use, to put on heavy gangs
of men to cut it into cakes, and hoist on cars by
means Of derricks, and ship it to New York
The river from Poughkeepsie to Hudson is
! only partially frozen over. From there to
Hyde Park il is firmly closed. At the latter
place the clear water is nearly two miles in
width. From there to Rhinebeck it is again
solid!y closed, and then another open space
mile wide, with firm ice again as far north az
Trivoli, where the ferry boat is running, and
from Trivoli north the river is completely clos
ed the people at Catskill crossing on foot. The
weather to-day is quite cold, the mercury
marking 10 above zero, and ice is making
fast. Should this cold snap continue two
days more, all fears as to good crop will
vanish II any opportunity IS presented to
cut good ice It is the Intention of all the COM
panies to shove the work forward with the
greatest possible rapidly. Double gangs of
men and horses will be put on, and the work
will be prosecuted night and day. To that
end applications have already been made for
locomotive head lights for the night labor
! These will be set on the ice at different points
/ to shed their rays over the men at work
! There is no doubt but that the work of cut
ting ice will commence in earnest on Mon
day

We have undoubtedly as efficient and re-
liable fire companies in this city as
can be found in the State, and great
care is bestowed in keeping the engines in
complete working order; so that, with an or
binary chance, a fire may be subdued without
much difficulty or pecuniary loss. For many
years the most favorable circumstances have
combined to render the extinguishment Of
fires comparatively easy, until we may not
consider what our chances might be should
the elements conspire against us. Last win
ter, on the occasion of the burning of B. +.
Thomas stable, there was scarcely a breath
of wind; and with snow upon the roofs of
adjacent buildings, and water close at hand,
the fire was confined exclusively to the sta
BILE. Under less favorable circumstances, the
result might have been disastrous. So at the
late fire on Water street; the evening was
calm, the buildings imbedded in snow and
ice, and the engines close at hand; and not
withstanding the slight delay in consequence
of want of precaution in having holes in the
ice in readiness, the fire was prevented from
spreading to a great extent, and by the help
of our Augusta friends etfectually subdued
without serious loss in buildings or merchan-
disc. But supposing the night had been cold
can estimate the probable result? We can
not always expec. to be thus favored; and it
should be considered of the first Importance
to be prepared for emergencies likely to arise
at any time. In addition to our fire compau
les, it may be advisable to have an efficient
hook and ladder company. SO that when need
ed as at the late fire, all things may be in or
der and readiness for immediate service. Our
fire hooks were found to be almost entirely
unserviceable and were soon rendered useless
and now need immediate replenishing and re-
pair. Our ladders, also, should be thoroughly
inspected to ensure safety, and additions
made as occasion may demand. Ii allowed
to become scattered, or to remain unhoused,
they will not be found ready when the demand
may be most urgent. 1t may be well at the
present time Ito give heed to these sugges
tons, so that in case of necessity we may not
be found unprepared.
The ladies of the Universalist society in
this city are to give entertainments at Wilson
Hall on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings of
the present week when interesting stage per-
formances-plays, pantomimes, tableaux, &c.
will be added to the usual attractions of
fancy work and table Injuries. For particu
lars we would refer to bills in circulation, and
especially to the exhibitions.
Why cannot people learn this cold weather
to shut the door?
The ministrations of Rev. Mr.. Earle in Au
gusta, attract many of eur citizens to hear the
truthful and effective utterances of that Ge-
voted and eminently successful evangelist.
We learn that religious services are to be
held at the Methodist vestry in this city
every evening during the present week.

STERNRAiLRoADAND BosToN

The New York Tribune of Saturday had an
article stating that the contest between the
Boston Maine Eastern Railroad Companies
J.. about to be terminated by an amicable
agreement, which was to be presented at the
annual meeting of the Eastern Railroad, held
yesterday for ratification. "This agreement"
says the Tribune" it is directly stated by the
Presidents Of the respective roads, is mere
business agreement between the roads, not
consolidation. After the protracted discussion
on the action of the Legislature Of last , ear
had subsidized, nothing of any Importance was
done concerning the adjustment of the diff
culties. number of influences have been
working to bring about a settlement of the
difficulties, and it was finally agreed that the
best way would be to appoint committee Of
conference on the part of both roads, to con-
sist of five from each corporation. The Bos-
ton and Maine named its President N. G..
White. and Messrs. N. S. Bradlee, George C.
Lord, Samuel c. Spring, and James II.
Nichols Of the Board of Directors; and the
Eastern road, its President, Thornton X
Lothrop, and Messrs. Samuel Hooper, John
Woodbridge, Franklin Haven, and B. +.
Stevens Of the Board of Directors. This
Joint Committee has held a number of meet
ings, at which all of the members have been
present, except the Hon. Samuel Hooper,
whose duties at Warrington prevented his at
tendance, save at one meeting. Of all the
plans submitted, that basing the agreement on
a division of the net passenger receipts was
received with the most favor, and is the plan
adopted. The difficulties of arranging an
agreement on such a basis was, of course, the
percentage that each road is to receive. The
rolling stock, land, and roadway, with the
usual stations and sheds, were considered Of
equal value on each road; but as the Eastern
road has debt sc, 0o0, 900 greater than that
of the Maine corporation, the Maine Commit
tee was of the opinion that its road should re-
ceive a larger percentage than the Eastern.
On this point all the debate has turned. The
agreement, which was tacitly assented to at o
committee meeting to-day, will return about
10 per cent to the Boston and Maine Com
pany, and about or per cent il the C0mpa-
ny can earn it, when the agreement goes into
effect, to the Eastern Company. The Eastern
Committee claims that tine agreement will
save annually $500, 900 to the two roads, but
estimates the saving at about $500 900 for the
first year, and probably more when the
agreement is in perfect working order. The
freight department will be left alone, and no
efforts made as have been made during past
years to control such business. II is to take
its natural course"

GENERAL HOWARUS CASE IN THE
HOUSE.

A sharp debate occurred in the House on
Friday on the resolve providing for the ap-
pointment by the President of a military court
of inquiry into the charges against Gen. o..
@. Howard. The debate tur ned upon the
amendment offered by Mr.. Frye, which pro-
vides that Gen. How ard shall have the right
OF challenge ~ in the case OF cqurts-martial.
Nr. Frye. says the Times correspondent, de-
clared that he could never believe, until
shown by evidence, that there was spot OF

ard; Gen. Stewart l.. Woodford, in an i'm
FASHIONED speech of five minutes, gave Fer
nando Wood, for snesr ut Christian states
men, severe reprimand in the name Of a
Christian na,ien. He showed that the statute
of limitations had run upon the case Of Gen.
Howard. but that Howard, notwi1hs standing,
eourtsd the fullest investigation. The Court
Of Inquiry, so far as the honor and reputation
Of Gen. Howard is concerned, is practically a
court Of final judgement, and since there were
questions Of politics and prejudices OF race
likely TO come before it, Gen. Woodiord in
sisted that Howard should have all proper
safeguards of the law. The members of the
Military Committee, many of whom spoke,
expressed themselves in the main in kindly
manner toward Gen. Howard. Mr. Donnan
