four colored persons-two for larceny, one Tor

Pnar DnsosrTs' CONDITION UNCHANGED
The icegorge on the susquehanna River from.
last accounts remains as solid as a rock. No
idea can be formed when the ice will move
and any information on the subject CLEANED
from the Oldest inhabitants is very conflicting.
The first move of the ice in the river, which
had attained to an enormous thickness, was on
the night of February 10. The ten days
which followed that were days of intense ex-
element The streets and river shore were
thronged at all hours by anxious people
For the past ten days there has been almost
no change in the situation, and the excite
ment has been waning, until now'the subject
is seldom talked of.
A view of the river opposite and above the
town gives nothing. but. "a mass of huge cakes
of ice piled one upon another, in some places
many feet high. Three miles down the river
is hugh reef of ice resting on a bar, piled
fully twenty feet high and extending clear
across the stream. Two miles below this,
upon the fats just opposite Havre de Grace,
is another barrier as high and stronger than
the first. This also rests upon the river bot
tom and is so strong that the ice boats could
not possibly force their way through it and
were compelled after many hours of trial to
give up the job.
Should the river rise sufficiently at any
time to move the ice now resting opposite
Port Deposit and force passage through the
upper barricade there will yet remain the
lower one, which may be sufficient to flood
the town Though the sun is warm the nights
remain cold. so that the work accomplished
by the one during the day is counterbalanced
by the freezinga at night, and so the situation
remains.
Mr.. William W. Roberts, the solitary occu-
pant Of Roberts Island, agreeably to his prom
Use, left for safer quarters on Thursday even
ing of last week. His long exposure had
been the cause of his contracting a heavy
cold, which may result in pneumonia
The stock on the island is fed by his sons
who make the trip across the ice daily for
that purpose.
