WGITMoRE & CLARK's MINsTRELs.-
The entertainment on Monday evening
was pleasing affair. The four end
men-Geo. NJ. Clark, Hank White and
Hennesseys-were full of fun, and kept
the audience in good humor. The clog
dancing of the Hennesseys introduced
some features that we never saw equaled.
1t was 6rst-rate company, and the au-

company of ice-dealers from Provl-
dence, R. l., came here last week and
put up very large ice-house, which
they are filing with ice from Crystal
Lake. The house is built on the side of
the lake, just at the north end of the
wood sheds, at point where it is easily
filled from the water side with ice, and
where the ice can conveniently be loaded
on to the cars for shipment. There is
an ice panic "down country" and ice-men
are obliged to push back into the coun-
try to get a supply. This company
would ship their ice at once if freight
cars could be spared for that purpose.
They are shipping as fast as cars can
] be obtained, but put up lot more to
be shipped during the summer. When
the ice is running up the slide, which
is nearly all the time, ton is packed
every minute. Thomas Gary and a
man by the name of Brown were badly
hurt in handling the ice on Saturday.
One had pike run into his knee, the
other got his foot crushed by an ice
cake
