May last, and in which tho plaintiff, Mr..
Seely claims to recover damages for in
jury done to his hack and horses by the

gence on the part of the defendant, Mr.

that he was in no way responsible for the
accident.

THE RIvER.-To day the river pre-
sented a dreary appearance, and one
which reminded all that saw it of pic
lures of the arctic regions. The Nor
folk steamer left here last night about
half an hour late and the one due here
about O'Clock this morning did not
reach here till about 1;20 this evening,
and went to Washington without stop
ping. She encountered ice many miles
below here and had to open track all
the way. She reported the steamer
Washington at Maryland Point. Ice
extends as far down as Smiths Point.
The Norfolk boat expects to make Ie-
turn trip tonight. The tug Beaverton
has been running between this city and
Shepherds to break a track. but was
unable to make trips with the railroad
barge. The tug NJ. B. Harlow, which
left here few days ago with toy,
was provisioned and coaled only for the
round trip. She is frozen up some
where in the lower river.

COULDN'T MAKE THE TRIP.-Messrs.
Matthew, Kell & Co., yesterday even
ing started two wagons loaded with
dressed hogs, eggs, &c, over the road
to Washington. When the wagons
reached the hill near Brick haven they
stalled and the drivers unhitched the
horses and returned to this city at q
late hour, leaving the wagons and
their articles 10 the road. Mr.. Math-
ews telephoned to Washington to an
express company to 60 after the wag-
ons, which was done. The drivers of
both teams were badly frost-bitten.
This morning Mr.. ]. w. Brown left
here for Washington in small wagon
followed by his big team loaded with
meal. Before he reached St. Asaph a
swingletree broke and he encountered
such heavy snow drifts that he was
compelled to return to this city, which
he did with difficulty.
