ICE IN THE PArUxENr.
This continues to be the coolest weather we
have had in two years and not in that time has
the Patuxent river been frozen over SO thick rs
at this time. The ice today is four inches thick
and it continues to freeze all the time All
navigation is stopped on the river and not even
the steamers cap run. Should this cold snap
continue it will be death blow TO those
people living on the river who are dependent
upon the steamboat to bring them their goods,
and hundreds OF people will be compelled to
have their goods shipped to this station and
haul them from here or go to Annapolis. 1t
will be some time before the steamer will be
able to reach Bristol The river is crowded
with skaters who are taking advantage Of the
cold snap.
