was of very even temperament and was

A number of young men started to skate
TO Havre de Grace, Wednesday but found
the ice very weak in spots and had at sew
eral places to get down and crawl over thin
spots. Where the ice has lain on the bottom
of the river after the low tides it is not very
strong as couple of co!ored men can testify
to day from their sad experience.

Business here of all kinds still remains
