NEW CAsTLE, Jan. 49, Navigation is
now comparatively stopped on the Della
ware river. The solid ice, fields of which
have frozen together and been soldered
by the SHOWS, now prevents anything
from running up and down the channel
save few iron steamships with power
full engines.
The railroads have given up all at
tempts tc run their freight floats. Cold
wave has followed cold wave until the
river is coated with ten inches of solid
ice which, where it is broke and ground
to pieces by the ice boats is piled up
three and four feet high. Through this
now it is utterly impossible for any boat
to plow its way. Indeed, the only chan
nels left open are those partly cleared by
the ice boats. and these can only be kept
open by running night and day.
Captain Melville, superintendent of
city ice boats, Philadelphia, came down
the river on Saturday.
