large number of men, employed principally
by butchers, are al work cutting ice from
the upper portion of the rivers frozen sur
face, and hundreds Of refrigerators and
storage houses are now receicing their sup
plies for the coming summer. The ice is
hard, clear and firm, and the opportunity
afforded is being taken advantage OF with
eagerness.
The strong wind that prevailed yesterday
and last night freed the surface of snow
and rendered the conditions for skating al
most ideal. All day long experts and
others have been coursing over the mirror
like surface of the ice on runners, some
cutting the figure and others ridiculous
figures.
No danger is apprehended by the old
rivermen. They never look for a freshet
they say, unless the ice is at least ten
inches thick In the channel. Should
sudden and decided thaw of the heavy
snow on the = mountains near Harpers
Ferry occur, however. the aspect might be
unpleasant, to say the least.
The damage 10 small craft as result OF
the freeze up is by no means small. Owners
of row boats, skiffs and yachts, who failed
to take the precaufion of housing their
floating property will find themselves con-
