THE ICE LOCKED RIVER.

Scarcity OF Water.

Jan es river is locked as tight as an
Arctic sea with heavy ice. and navigation,
which had been kept open with much
labor. is now closed. and. without a
very rapid thaw, is likely to remain 50

minion steamer Richmond, due here yes
terday, did not come up, but was held
az Norfolk, on account Of the Ice. The
agents here say that the Richmond, being
a propeller. cannot battle as successfully
with the ice as the Old Dominion or

heavy, the steamer Wyanoke VIII prob
ably try TO break a passage through IL
