Ice HARVEST ON THE SUsoUEHANNA.-
Tue work of cutting ice on the Susquehanna,
at Havre de Grace, commenced on Monday.
The ice was seven inches thick and as solid
and clear as crystal. The firms engaged in
the work are Messrs Cochran s. Co., and
VIM. II. Oler. These firms have together
twenty-five ice houses, which are situated at
Havre de Grace, Lapidum and on Watson's
Island. These houses have capacity of
100000 to 10000 tons. The Baltimore San
gives the following description of the work ::
The scenes on the ice fields are full of life
and interest. About II o'clock at night the
ice ploughs are sent out, by which the fields
are divided into long, narrow strips deeply
cut AT o'clock A. NJ the day gangs OF
workmen go out and large fields of ice are
separated from the main body in the river
and lowed to the elevators, where the strips
formed by the ploughs are separated; hoisted
into The houses and slowed away by steam
machinery. 1t is estimated that by hard
work sufficient supply for the summer could
be secured in ten days, but the crop is always
gathered as long as the Geld weather lasi s.
Ii the houses are filled the surplus is piled up
and houses built over it and the ice retained
until the next season. Large numbers of
barges owned by the firms are fast in the ice
fields, and are loaded so rs to be brought to
Baltimore as soon rs Il thaw takes place
The 900 men employed in this industry board
and camp out together in messes, aking, for
the time being, winter quarters on the Sus-
quehanna. 1t is hoped that the present freeze
will continue long enough to fill the houses
for this year.

W. 8. F., as remarked before, seems to be
very much worried indeed, about the few inches
of dirt on the pike; but he has nothing whatever
to say about the two immense stone and earth
works, thrown up by him across the public
road, when mud was very seldom to be
found. Indeed, such embellishments would do
honor, in an engineering point, to company of
soldiers trying to protect themselves from the
bullets of deadly enemy. As Il result of these
earthworks, we have two mudholes-one on

unsuitable;" when in point of fact, the bedstone
were of the square, or angled Niger head, with
sufficient abundance OF flint and fiat stones to
dress the top. One would not want better ma
terial. We have only one regret, In the build
ing this pike, viz , the special supervisor saw
fit TO haul the stone from afar off-his back
