supreme court very decidedly indicated its inten-

the motion for q quo warranto. The court re-
served its decision until III o'clock to-day.

The Ice Yield Q n the Kenn.bec.

We have heard gentleman supposed to be
posted, state that the ice shipped from the Kenne-
bee and its tributaries the past season, amounts to
500, 900 tons. We think the estimate too low
But to take his figures shows an immense business,
and it is calculated that some 10000 tons remain
The ice that remains unsold is old stock and COM
paratvely worthless. 1t is the opinion Of expert
enced ice dealers that they would infinitely prefer
to have their houses empty than filled with ice
two years old. To reckon the sales at 100000
tons, and the average price per ton at two dollars
the sales aggregate the handsome sum of one mil
lion dollars. The contractors have generally kept
their agreements, though some have disappointed
tina companies, who have suffered losses in conse-
quence. The largest amount was shipped by the
Knckerbockers of Philadelphia, 1850 tons; the
next by the Kennebec Land and Lumber Co,
10000 tons. The Consumers. Cheesemap, Berry,
and others, have made large shipments. All the
companies who have regular customers will fill

with dignity and accuracy, being careful to make
no mistakes. The vote for President was cast
quite carly, probably before any other State in the
