Weitzers dam at the head of the falls
catches the ice and banks it solidly in the
mouth OF the canal, where it froze last night
compactly together, and the boats at the
wharf are no doubt frozen in this morning,
unless ''big thaw" stole in upon it during
the night The steamer United States, OF
the U. 5. Nail Line, left Cincinnati Saturday
at ocl ,ck, with big trip OF freight
and a few people.
The ice was running very heavily and
freezing all the way down. She arrived here
at o'clock, and will lay up unless
me weather mo 1erat-s and the ice ''thins out"
20 as to be able to leave this afternoon. Capt |
Bill Taylor, the clerk, furnished Us yester- I.
