TnR IcE HARvEsr.-The cold snap,
although disagreeable to many, was very
acceptable to The ice men, and they were
busy yesterday harvesting the crop Of ice.
Mr.. Anton Reymann had large force at
work taking ice out OF the creek near his
brewery, in East Wheeling. The Nail
City Brewing Company's men were operat-
ing at Catfish pond, south OF the city. Mr..
Nick Kuhn, Of Bridgeport, had q gang
chopping out the crystal blocks from the
mouth OF the creek at that place. The ice
is Of very good quality, and Of the proper
thickness to be easily handled, some of 1t
measuring nearly eightinches thick. The
dealers generally are well pleased with the
prospect for a good supply OF ice this
season. Theirhouses generally have been
enlarged, and they expect with increased
facilities to lay in sufficient stock to meet
all the requirements that may be made oil
them for q couple Of years to come, 80 that
in case OF an ice famine next year they
will have supply on hand and will not
be compelled to order from either Maine OF
the lakes,

The Pork Market.

The Cincinnati Eaquirer OF yesterday
contains review OF the hog market. It
SAYS that the packers seem TO be saying
that they have a good thing Of it this year.
The large packing houses are running to
their full capacity, but there is still no
lack of material. The supply OF hogs in
the country is counted one-third greater
than usual, but as the average weight is
less, and the inducement to sell very slight,
the prospects are that the bulk will not ex-
ceed that of last year by that proportion.
The total receipts in the Cincinnati mar
ket to date arc about 100000, while those
of last year for the corresponding period
were but about $4,000. The prices paid
now are remarkably low, and there seems
reason to believe that the packers will not
this time lose. Yesterdays report says OF
prices: Common sold at s. 25a2 As, fair
to good light at s. 5Oa2 G5, fair to good
packing at 50 GOa2 75, and select butcher
stock s. 75a2 So gross" In this connec-
ton The following from the advance slips

intendent Maxwell, of the Cincinnati
Chamber Of Commerce Is OF value: W

hacon shoulders 20 cents, and prime lard

AMusEMENrs.-The Watts Combinalion.-
An organization known as the "Amelia
Watts Combination" held the boards at
the Opera House on Christmas afternoon
and evening to disguised audiences. Sew
eral comedies and iarces were advertised
to be given during the afternoon and
evening, but the bill was changed for the
third or fourth time, and the worn out
and efiete "Ten Nights in a Bar Room"
substituted. The Performance was Of the
worst description possible, and the audi
ence were disposed to feel grateful that
the company had been unable to make an
attempt at "Uncle Toms Cabin" which
they were advertised TO play.
In connection with the above, the fol-
lowing from Mr. McCort, the husband of
Miss Watts, may be OF interest to those who
witnessed the performance:
"Let it be said in justice 10 Miss Amelia
Watts, who was brought here under mis-
taken assertions, that when she found out
the nature OF the entertainment given, she
refused after the matinee performance To
participate in the evenings play. Miss
Watts Is first.class artist, having starred
successfully through the West The litho-
graph put up Is not of her, and her en-
gagement commenced and ended Wednes-
day afternoon" @
Mrs. CLanfrdu.-Mrs. Henrietta Cham
frau appears at the Opera House tonight
in new play called "a Woman OF the
People" by the authors OF "a Celebrated
Case" and "The Tive Orphans" The De.
troit Free Press says Of IL:
That admirable actress, Mrs. Henrietta
Chanfrau, achieved a marked success last
evening in the play OF "a Woman Of the
People, )" adapted by Clifton W. Tayleure
from the French play. Her impersona-
ton OF the character OF "Marie" Is pow
erful and effective piece Of dramatic work.
There is that in the acting OF Mrs. Chan
frau, in parts requiring the expression Of
strong emotion, which never fails to go
straight to the heart as well as the under
standing Of the auditor, and strikingly
true is this OF her "Marie." The part Is
yet new 10 her (she having played Il only
twice., but there is every encouragement
for the conviction that before the season
is over she will have made something
quite superior TO any other assumption
with which her name and fame are now
identified. 7faft tla 5H n

raiIure of the Pool ProIeet.

An adjourned meeting of the Western
Nail Association took place at Pittsburgh
yesterday. The attendance was not 50
large as at the meeting on the 18th. One
reason OF this was the fact that several
mills that had given in their adhesion to
the pool project did not expect to be pres
eht, the understanding being that nothing
requiring their presence would come up.
Another reason was the opposition to the
project on the part OF several important
concerns. These latter being opposed to
It did not attend. One or two mills that
were present declined to sign the articles
until they could consult further, and thus,
we may say, the project fell through.
Among the mills hereabouts thit were
absent were the Jefferson, Bellaire, La
Belle and Riverside. Besides these there
were one or two mills in the West (Terre
Haute for one) that were understood not
tolook with favor on the project.
Notwithstanding, however, these indi;
cations OF the failure Of tho project all the
mills present, with two exceptions, signed
the pool articles, the conditions being that
said articles were to have no effect unless
ratified by all the mills. With view OF
bringing matters to conclusion 1t was
agreed that the Wheeling mills should
meet here tomorrow Saturday and de-
termine their final action, and that the
Western mills should in the meanwhile be
solicited to definitely declare their inten-
tions.
All OF this simply means that the pool
project has failed. 1t was so understood
on the streets last night after the return Of
the delegates. We presume that little or
nothing further will be done in the matter.
As to what is to come Of the failure moth
ing much can be said at this time. The
inquiry for nails is good, and the present
price is considered to be well fortified by
an increasing demand. The price is slow
for the state OF the market, which is re-
ported quite bare ofgoods-decided more
SO than usual. The West is in good shape
TO buy and so is the South, and promi-
nent Wheeling manufacturer expresses
tho opinion that the mills will have good
business until late in the Spring and
probably at an advance often cents per
keg on the present card.

TEMPERANCE Colonel Bowen
proves himself an earnest worker for tenn
perance. In addition to his successful Of
forts among the adult population, he has
been marshaling the little children Of
Wheeling, and within q week has obtained
from his "little missionaries" rs he terms
them, o list of about 800 new signers to the
pledge, about one.third Of them being
adults and large proportion OF them
drinkers. He has also organized "The
Oracraft Band Of Hope in North Wheel
ing, with about IS members. For some
days he has been rehearsing his little
friends-who have already learned to love
him for his kindness tothem-for grand
children's jubilee, TO take place on next
Monday night (place to be hereafter des-
ignated), which will combine readings,
rccitations, dialogues, songs and choruses.
The Colonel declares that he has never
met more intelligent and talented children
than Wheeling furnishes, and says he can
surprise" the public. The proceeds will
&c to aid the general temperance fund.
