The Ice Bridge at Perryville.

There has been so much discussion in
regard to the time as to when the ice
bridge was built over the Susquehanna
river, that the following letter from l. n.
Mills to the Easton Ledger will clear up
all confusion. Mr.. Mills has been con-
nected with railroads for many years, and
at one time superintendent of the Della
ware division.
CLAYTON, DEL, Feb. 8, 1898. Inotice
in several last issues of your paper con-
troversy in regard to the ice track across
the Susquehanna river from or between
PerryvilIe and Havre de Grace. think
| can give the information desired. After
the track was removed the Philadelphia,
Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad Com
pany had printed large Autograph, taken
from sketch made by an artist on the
ground and on the bottom of the picture
(of which | have copy there is inscribed
this memorandum
''The track was completed January 1 9th
and continued in use until February 24th,
1852, with the exception of one or two
days, during which it was removed Il short
distance up the stream for the purpose OF
securing more solid foundation. In this
time there were hauled over l, 1873 cars
loaded with the mails, baggage and various
kinds of merchandise. The cars were
mostly S-wheel cars, and were all passed
over without the slightest injury to any
person or property. The amount of ton
mage crossed was about 10000 tons, Of
which 1000 was merchandise"
This | copied from the print above
named, verbatim, ct literatim. | will add
further from the annual report Of the P.
W. & B. Co. that year, that all the rails
and nearly all the cross ties were saved.
There was no attempt made to carry pas
sengers across by rail, these being taken
over in sleighs, except when some of the
passengers preferred to cross on foot.
Hoping this will be satisfactory to your
readers, who seem to be interested, | am,
Yours respectfully, l. n. MILLS.

tremes of temperature The mean range
in that part of the Northwest is probably
$50 degrees-that is great enough-but
Pembina and Fort Benton have recorded
range of 1863 degrees. On December 20,
1880, the thermometer stood at SO degrees
below zero, and in July of the following
year at 10 degrees above.
While on the subject Of the weather,
which, by the way, is a very interesting
subject these wintry days when changes OF
temperature or condition are matters oil
eager speculation, it is worth while noting
that California notwithstanding its famously
genial climate, still holds the record for
high temperature in this country. On
June 18th, 1859, the temperature at
San Francisco and Santa Barbara rose
suddenly from II degrees to 133 degrees
in the shade in consequence Of hot
northwest desert wind which prevailed for
several hours.
The great heat did not last long, the
thermometer falling to Il degrees again by
Z D. IN. on the same date, but it did ire
mendous damage in the meanwhile. AT
Santa Barbara all fruit and animal life cx-
posed to that awful blast died from the
affaots Of IL On the same daV the tenn
perature was 1O2 degrees at San Diego
and III degrees at Fort Yuma, Cal.
Again, in 1887, California was visited
by excessive heat During a period of
four days in June the temperature ranged
from SO degrees at San Diego to ia de-
grees at Yuma, and l22 degrees at Spring
Valley. 1t is an interesting fact that at
the same time ice formed at Cheyenne
Wy, only 600 miles away,

an inch thick formed in July, but in Au-
gust it froze an inch and more. There was
heavy snowstorm ON Aug. 30. The
whole summer was as bleak and dreary as
November. There was not green thing
to be seen anywhere. The first two weeks
IN September brought the first real warm
weather there had been during the year.
The thermometer went up to 20 degrees,
which was % degrees warmer than it had
been since May.
'The general opinion had been that the
cause of the cold summer was sudden and
rapid cooling of the sun by some violent
disturbance, and many believed that the
end of all things was at hand. The appear
ance of the warm spell in September,
though, dispelled that fear for time, but
on the 10th of the month the cold weather
returned suddenly, and the calamity be-
levers were once more made miserable by
their old fear. One old man, james Good
ing by name, was so helpeless over the
prospect that he killed all his cattle and
then hanged himself, after vainly trying to
induce his wife to make away with herself
also, to escape the terrible and gradual
death by freezing and starvation, which he
believed was to be the common doom.
"Cold increased from the middle of Sep
TENDER until winter returned, and it may
truly be said that, in Vermont at least, the
year 1916 had neither spring, summer nor
autumn. There wasn't grain enough grown
that year to seed the next year, and those
who were lucky enough to have more Of
the crop of 1915 on hand than they want
ed for their own use had no difficulty in
selling it for SIS and more bushel.

MONEY MUSK.
BY n. J. TAYLOR.

In shirt ofcheek and tallowed hair
The fiddler sits in the bulrush chair
Like Moses basket stranded there
on the brink of Father Nile.
He feels the hddles slender neck.
Picks out the notes with thrum and check;
And times the tune with nod and beck.
And thinks 1t weary while.
All ready Now he gives the call.
Cries, Honor to the ladies'" All
The jolly tides oflaughter fall
And ebb in happy smile.
"Beein. !" Down comes the bow on every string
First couple Join right hands and swing =
As light as any blue birds wing
..swing once and half times around
whirls Mary Martin all in blue
Calico gown and stockings new.
And tinted eyes that tell you true.
Dance all to the dancing sound.
She fits about big Moses Brown
Who holds her hands to keep her down
And thinks her hair golden crown
And his heart turns over once
His cheek with Mary's breath is wet.
1t gives second SOMERSET
He means to win the maiden yet,
Alas, for the awkward duncel
Your stoga boot has crushed my toe!
I'd rather dance with one-legged Joe.
You clumsy fellow!' Pass below!"
And the first pair dance apart
Then Forward six !" advance, retreat.
Like midges gay in sunbeam street
It's Money Musk by merry feet,
And the Money Musk by heart
Three quarters round your partner swingE
Across the setm The rafters ring,
The girls and boys have taken wing
And have brought their roses ont

All rarer far than-"Swing to place.
Than golden clouds of old point lace
They bring the dance about.

All swiftly weave the measure def
Across the wool in loving welt

Good night, sweethearts. tits growing dusk,
Good night for aye to Money Musk,
