we shall have about their capacity say l90,-
600 tons. BY adding the two we shall ap-
proximate the crop gathered on the Kennebec
this year say 100000 tons. Nearly one-half
of this amount may be set down as surplus
stock. Now where are the consumers for this
vast amount of ice? New York City consumes
100000 tons, Philadelphia 4OO, 900 tons, Bal
timore 10000 tons,-and so on for the other
Southern cities, allowing about 250 900 tons
of ice for every 100000 inhabitants. But the
exact amount to be consumed at the great
centres will depend greatly upon the height
OF the thermometer, as we'll as the height Of
the price.
But what concerns sellers in Maine the
most of all is, how much has the usual source
of supply fell short of their annual yield? 1t
has been set as high as a million, and even
two million tons. 1t is certain that the IIud
son, the chief dependence of New York and
the greatest ice field of the country, has pro-
duced but half Of her usual crop of over
million tons. The Susquehanna, Schuylkill,
and other rivers lying south Of the Hudson,
have been open nearly all the winter, while
we have accounts of the Western streams be-
ing swollen with floods for several months
past, so that the customary supply sent South
from that region must be entirely lacking.
In fact, as the winter even here has been mild
and of short duration, we may safely conclude
that it has been proportionally so elsewhere,
and the quantity of ice stored in the country
must be much less than that of any season
since the year Of 1870. As all the, ice har-
vested in Maine that year was sold at remu
nerative price there need be no fears that the
business has been overdone.
Should the coming summer prove to be a
warm one, the industrious people of our State
will have in their ice crop valuable Offset to
their rigorous climate and stubborn soil.

DR.. Schenck's Standard Remedies.

The standard remedies for all diseases of the

Scarcely had the item in yesterdays DAILY,
announcing the low condition OF Mr.. John IL.
Lynde of the Bangor Wing, been put in type,
when the intelligence, freighted with SO much
sorrow to the wide circle of his friends, flash
ed over the wires that he was dying. On the
way to Florida, to seek the restoration of his
shattered health in 4 less rigorous cline than
this, he took violent cold in the cars, from
which he was Frustrated, in Savannah, Ca,
with congestion of the lungs, and from which
disease he undoubtedly died. despatch was
received at his home in Bangor at 9 o'clock
Tuesday evening, that Mr.. Lynde was dying.
Mr.. Lynde was accompanied in his southern
trip by his wife and lady friend, and Gen.
Shepherd Of Skowhegau, who will undoubted-
ly return on their sad errand with the body of
their dear friend.
Mr. Lynde was born in Norridgewock
Somerset county, and entered the office of the
Skowhegan Clarion as an apprentice to the
printing business. He finished his trade in
the Farmer Office in this city, coming there
about the year 1916 and continued to work as
a journeyman in the same Office, when he
formed a partnership, some nineteen or TWEEN
ty years since, with VIM. H. Wheeler, Esq,
and the firm of Wheeler LyRde purchased
the Bangor Wing & Courier. MIR. Wheeler,
who died some two years since, retired from
the firm several years ago. Since that time the
entire office has been owned by Mr.. Lynde, and
its large business has been under his control.
This terrible strain, consequent upon the care
and business management OF daily paper,
had the effect to PROSTATE Mr.. Lynde's ner-
vous system, and has led to the fatal results
which we deplore to-day, and has brought
him down to the grave at the age of but forty
five years.
For twenty years we have known Mr..
Lynde, and have found him one of the post
accomplished and successful members of the
fraternity which he honored by being II menu
Der of it. He was diligent and active work
er; was frank and outspoken on all matters
and was generous and noble hearted in all his
dealings. He was fully identified with the
interests of the city of Bangor, and ever Ia
bored faithfully and patiently in her behalf.
In Freemasonry he stood very high, working
his way from the throng that labor among the
quarries to the company OF those whose eyes
witness the completion of the temple, and the
laying of the perfect asher. He was twice
honored with the position of Grand Master OF
the Grand Lodge of Maine. But in the midst
of his manhood and his usefulness he has laid
down for the last time the working tools of
his profession the square, the compass and
the gavel, and even the bible upon the altar,
are clothed in mourning, and he has entered
into that temple "where the Supreme Archi-
tect of the Universe presides." Hail, brother,
and farewell,

hibits the serving of women on school com

Missing.

An item in our telegraphic columns yester-
day, stated that Moses Stevens, Esq, of Bos-
ton, a well known printer, had been missing
since the 9th of February. From his friends
and relatives in this city we gather additional
facts. Mr.. Stevens left Boston for Portland
some two weeks since, telling his daughter
that he would spend the following Sabbath
with her on his return, but not appearing at
the time promised, kilograms were sent to
Portland and Pennington without success.
Search was then made in the steamer. where
his name was found registered, and his coat,
boots, and note book with this entry: Every
sea-sick," were found. 1t is presumed that
he accidently fell overheard from the steamer
while in the act Of vomiting. Mr.. Stevens
was in the city a short time since, as our
readers may perhaps remember.
