THE CANAL FROZEN OVER
The presence Of the strong current in the
river has much to do with the absence of ice,
which is extremely backward in forming. A
considerable thickness would have developed
las. night. the river nien say, had the stream
been pursuing ihe even tenor of its way The
Canal from Rock creek to considerable dis
lance above town is frozen solidly. No water
OF any consequence remains in the upper par.
OF the great trench, as during the DoatInen 4
idle season it is drawn oil. There are some old
Inhabited boats wedsed in the ice on the out
skirts OF the town, and the women and chill
dren are seen, poorly clad, moving about them,
apparently as happy as the owners OF mansion
THE NEEDS OF THE DESTITUTE.
The ungentle winds are causing the destitute
to again plead for assistance. Fuel is what they
need first and worst of all. as the miserable
shanties inhabited By some but poorly shield
them from the severity of the weather. The
charitable Organizations have had their treas
uries drained to greater degree this winter
than ever before. and unless outsiders come to
their aid quickly many unfortuuates will be
turned away to suffer. Occasionally things are
left at the station house, but the demand fur
exceeds the supply.
