Anxiously Watching the Ice.

The warm weather of the past few days
has had its effect upon the ice in the riv-
ers at Pittsburg. The ice in the MonoE-
gahela was fourteen inches thick and in
the Youghiogheny it reached Il thickness
of twenty-three inches. If the warm
weather continues it will cause the ice to

fear of breaking up in the rivers, which
would result i'll great loss TO the boats
which are frozen in along the shores.
