The cold weather of Christmas
week, followed blythe extremely low
Temperature this week, has provided
ice such As has seldom been har-
vested in this section. Last week the
ice on the river was about four inches
thick. and as clear as we have ever
seen it. Then an inch OF two of snow
and slset fell aud stopped operations
for time. The intense cold made it
still thicker, and. now the ice-houses
in town are being filled with big
chunks of ice foot in thickness. 1t
is fine crop and every ice-house in
town will probably be filled to over
flowing. The cold weather has
made the work of gathering the ice
mighty unpleasant.
