Boston FROZEN UP.-The harbOr of Boston
is frozen up solid. The steamer Forest City is
ce barred and the John Brooks does not leave
here because she cannot enter the harbor.
There are large number of tugs at work, but
up to yesterday afternoon the, ice had not
yielded and it was impossible for vessels to
pass in or out. Our harbor is perfectly clear
and vessels arrive and depart as they do in
midsummer. 1t must be an awful thing to
live in such a place as the Hub this cold
weather.

SERGEANT AMBLER's LECTURE.-Owing to
the many attractions elsewhere City Hall was
not well filled last evening. The lecture by Ser
geant Amber was a smart and spirited effort,
and he was warmly applauded from time to

sword was excellent, and person unacquaint-
ed with his condition would think he was
Young man instead of disabled soldier. 1t is
said that he is to leave the state soon.

TROUBLE IN THE CAMP.-There were lively
times in the Democratic caucus in Ward last
night Young America, aged anywhere from
IA to 10, took possession of the show and run it
to suit themselves, paying no heed to the pro-
test of the legal voters. There was much boot
ing and more voting done, and small boys did
the greater part of both. Many claim that the
nominations were carried by fraud, and don't
propose to stand by the doings of the juvenile
caucus. 1t is also said that the claims of the
N. c. were overlooked. Taking it all round it
looks squally, and a bolt is imminent. Let the
procession move.

Cold PAssAGE-The schooner Lettie Reed
arrived from fishing cruise yesterday noon.
She left here last Sunday and has had an unu-
sually cold trip. She went about 81 miles off
the Cape and had good catch. Tuesday she
started to beat back but found it hard work.
The foresail became so covered with ice that it
was impossible to hoist it, and she was obliged
to get along with the mainsail and jb 1t was
SO cold Tuesday that man could not stand on
the deck more than ten minutes. About mid
night she arrived behind one of the islands
where she lay until yesterday morning. The
deck of the schooner was covered with ice sew
eral inches thick and the rigging was so badly
iced that it was with difficulty that the vessel
was worked. As she lay in the steeam she was
fine looking sight,
