Ice Items.
The Gardiner journal has these ice items:
The Kennebec Mutusl Ice Co. have cleaned
their houses all ont.
The shipping of ice on the Kennebec continues
lively, as may be seen by the shipping list. Car
goes the past week have gone to New York, New
ark, Philadelphia. Washington, Georgetown. Bal
tinore, Savannah, and Mobile. We wish cargo
could be sent down to New Orleans, for free dis
tribution to the sufferers there.
The knckerbockers shut down shipping ice
from their Farmingdslc houses Tuesday, but still
continue to ship from the Chelsea and Smithtown
ice houses.
