Ice Matters.

Ice Matters.
The Oakland Ice Company had their annual
meeting at Gardiner, yesterday. and chose the
following officers; President, Capt. Abram
Rich, Jr. Clerk, s. w. Maxcy Treasurer,
Ammi Davenport; Directors. Abram Rich,
Jr., J. NJ Sanborn of Augusta, Ammi Daven-
port. The field of this company, opposite
their houses in Pittston, is entirely ruined,
and the company will probably put up no ice
this year. Their houses have a capacity of
5000 tons. They have given their field one
planning. and find the ice yellow and dirty, en-
tirely unfit to house.
Haley has planed his field five times and
got down to smooth ice, but it is costly work.
He has taken out two acres and dumped the
old ice. that new ice may form. Work like
that costs about $50 an acre. Other parties
are also dumping ice. The Knickerbocker as
yet hardly know what course to pursue. The
ice business on the kennebec is very much
injured.

include any member of their family or per-
son in their employ, and if presented by any
other person they will be forfeited. The cou-
pons will be worthless if detached by any
other man than the conductor. The ticket
only entities the holder to personal baggage.
and to stop at the regular stopping places of
the train on which they are presented. They

ing sold for less number. 1t is stated also
