Chesapeake CITY Items.

The ice has dis appeared from the creeks
and all is now clear as far as back creek
is concerned ard boats have now no
trouble to navigate. The Erickson line
of steamers run irregular trips on ac-
count of the trouble at ST. Georges, as
the locks at that place are undergoing
repairs, ana the freight has to be ex-
changed to and from Baltimore and Phil
adelphia. which causes much delay and
expense to the company. LaborGrs at
that point are in demand. 1t is said that
the impediments will cease on or about
Saturday the 9th inst
The roads never We're in a more des-
perate condition than at the present time,
especially the road after leavingthe woods
from Chesapeake City to Bohem ia bridge.
1t is with the utmost difficulty that travel
can be done at all, and am informed that
other roads are equally as bad.
The marine railway is still the subject
of interest to our people, and s., 800 have
