For the past fe- days nue.. int, 1st ha,
been excited IN regard to the conu,.,r of the
shipping On the river Since the co. susp
OF the latter part OF last week, quite large
number of vessels have been ice bound a.d
measures were rendered necessary to relieve
the schooners which we e so unfortunate as
TO have thus been caught. The work of
breaking up the ice was commenced Satur-
day, and had progressed as far as South
Gardiner Monday Yesterday morning the
tug Charley Lawrence reached Bradstreet
Bros. wharf at South Gardiner, and towed
out the schooner lIyne, and at about 1890
in the forenoon the tugs Clara
Clarta, Adelia and City OF Lynn
were sighted near the Cove, which il
about a mile below this city. They arrived
here at noon and succeeded in breaking out
the schooner Nickerson which laid at Ding
ley Bros wharf, and the Flora Woodhouse,
which was ice hound at Putnam Clossons
above he draw, and these schooners were
towed to Bath by the Clarita and Adelia.
The Lynn remained at work until three
o'clock, when she pulled out and started for
Bath. The river is now navgabie up to
quarter of mile above Blossoms mill and
the four tugs viii stalt th- morning. The
banks OF the river were qnItr lively with
people interested in the york, NLich was eff

suggestive Of Capt. Longs pa age through
the drifting ice of the Arctic REGIONS.

remain at the steamboat wharf in Bath this
winter instead of at East Boston as formerly.
