RICHMOND, Jan. e.
Preparations for the coming ice harvest are
being made. Messrs. Chas. Russell & Co.
commenced scrapiug yesterday, having quite a
large force of men and horses engaged in that
work. The amount of ice put up this year will
not eq 7al that of last year, the Messrs Russell
being the only firm in this immediate vicinity,
excepting possibly DR.. Underwood, who will
harvest any amount The present cold wealth
or south of US deters the others from taking
hold, and unless the prospect changes very
soon to more favorable outlook, nothing will
be done by them. The ice is not as good this
season as last, being spoiled in places by brok-
en- drift ice jamming and freezing together in
rough and uneven masses, also by dirt being
mixed in with the clearer ice requiring con-
siderable planning to get to the genuine article
for which the Kennebec is so justly celebrated.
The work will cause the outlay of considerable
money, the circulation of which will help to re
ll-ve the present dullness in business, of which
we may be said to have beeu comparatively
exempt during the past summer aud fall.
Work in both shoe factories is at rather low
ebb just now, the next seasons press not com.
ing on so soon as hoped for by our traders by
whom the slackness is sensibly felt.
Our snow storm has not done us the good
expected and wished for. We have fair
quantity, but it is not we'll laid on, the bare
ground keeping wheels frequent sight in our

appeared before the curtain; a large number of
bouquets were brought down to the footlights
all of which Kellogg claimed causing great
deal of sympathy for Gary among the
audience. When the curtain dropped on the
third act, in response to considerable applause
Kellogg, Rosnati and Pantaleoni bowed their
acknowledgements and withdrew. Then
came perfect storm of applause and deafeuiDe
cries of "Csryw "Cary!' increasing il
turbulence until at the end of five minutes
the floral tributes offered her. The next act
was the famous prison scene and no sooner
had the curtain dropped than the excited
audience was not satisfied until they had
honored Gary with three separate recalls.

BoATNG-An oarsman writing to the Boston
Sunday Herald, considers Mike Davis can beat
any man of his weight in the world. He agrees
with Davis that circular bottom for boat is
the best, and thinks that Davis rowlock,
sliding foot-board AMI three-rod outrigger are
great improvements. The sliding sire tchers,
the latest improvement by Davis, he considers
a great advance in the rig of a boat and says
that it gives a man great power in his legs, and
was a great advantage to him in his last
race at Silver Lake. In rowing with sliding
stretcber the oarsman remains stationary, the
after outrigger leg being made fast to the
stretcher, so that when the stretcher is drawn
toward the seat, the pin travels with it, carry

sides keeping the oarsman in an upright posi-
ton, and lessening the strain on his loins and

PORTLAND TRADE.-The Price Current says
that in reviewing the progress of trade for the
year we find that there has been gain in most
OF the leading articles, while the quantities of
produce and manufactures exported are largely
ahead of last year. Both our foreign and do
nestle trade show substantial improvement,
and there is every reason to expect further
gain in the year to come.
Many of our merchants find on taking &C.
count of stocks and striking their balances,
that they have suffered severely from the
shrinkage in values in passing through the Sc
we're ordeal necessary to the restoration of q
healtbful trade, but not so much as might have
been expected, and with resumption and a
more stable basis to start on new year, there
seems to be growing confidence that we are
about entering upon new career of prosper
