OPENING THE RIVER. -fst
The Steamboats, PlOughing Channels
Through the Ice.

This morning, the tug Mary Lewis. employed
by the committee OF citizens, and the two ferry
boats of the Washington Steamboat company,
and the steamer John w. Thompson. offered by
their owners for the service, put out from their
wharves and began the work of breaking up the
ice in the harbor in accordance with the ar
rangement made by the citizens committee.
The tug z. ID. Hartley did not go out on account
of an accident to her machinery. The Mary
Lewis had an ice plough on her prov. and
ripped the ice up at very lively rate. The tag
first went down the river as far as Alexandria.
and the steamers followed in her wake, break
ing wide channel through the Ice. The tug
was then taken into the Georgetown channcl
and was engaged this afternoon In breaking
that channel far the .Aqueduct bridge.
The steamer City of Alexandria continued
down the river with the view OF breaking the
ice as far down as Fort Washington to provide
a place tor the ice to drift wheu ii moves out,
instead Of gorging between here and A xandria.
The ice was about six inches thick and quite
hard. Ii is thought that il viii be necessary TO
keep boats at work SO as TO keep the lee moving.
The ice below Quan.ico is going cut OF the river
and boats are coming up the river below that
point through the drift

sons appointed to I'LL such vacancy,
In the mode provided by the laws

The Fourth.Class Post Osices.


THE FIRST RUSH OVER AND A GRADUAL RE-
TURN TO THE NORMAL CONDITION.
The changes III the fourth-class postmasters,
which have been going on actively ever since
the present administration came into Office,
have dwindled down from six and eight hun
dred per day to about one hundred. The work
of making changes simply for change sake is
about over and the future movement will be
to ILL the vacancies caused by resignation and
to supply new offices with postmusters. The
number OF offices Of this class, which includes
all post offices where the compensation Is under
81 900 per year, is about SO, 900, and there are
great many changes made necessary indie
pendent of the will Of the department For In
stance, there are each year between seven and
come vacant through death or resignation.
Then there are some two thou.and new
