pioneer merchants, arrived this
week with a large stock Of dry
goods and will engage in trade here

Winter, in the shape Of a
gentle snow, started in Sunday, but
Monday it frightened it's grip and
the bay froze over during the night.

running. Tugs came around by the

dock without much trouble. We'd
nesday was mild with n rain and
the bay again partly opened. but II
has since frozen over and will prob
ably remain so till next spring. The
closing of navigation on the bay
proves a serious detriment TO tho sc
whose supplies are still on the
other side; and unless it soon
freezes solid enough to allow teams
TO cross, there will be great
scarcity here in hay anil feed As the
supply now on hand is very low.
