carried carried out into tie river where it was
shattered by boats p'sssing up and down
and the remnants subs, >quently forced 70

northwest winds of last night ana Vouay'
Conditions farther down have a'sI ,an
proved. There is, of course, c. "suuel-
able floating ice in the river as W. " AZ
foes in certain places. The latter, HOY
ever. are soon annihilated by the prows.
of steamers. and should no decidedly
cold wave set in the ice embargo will
soon be a thing of the past. The repairs
to the steamer Estelle Randall were COM
9leted Yesterday, and she resumed her

A Timely Suggestion.

II has been sug Tested by number OF
.;,;aons tbot ;nasmnc'h as Alexandria is
to have two other paradt>s this yearIln
Nav and August-that the ce ele5 40;
of the 22d of February be oLutIeu 'ni'
year, and the money citizens ave 'e.;s 80
literally contributed for that OCCASION d
be devoted toward helping the people Vi
our sister city (Baltimore) to recuperate
from the terrible disaster which has be-
fallen them. A thousand or more dollars
would be a mite toward lessening Inc
burdens of suffering fellow-beings, while
that amount would, on the other hand,
afford the people of Alexandria but hail
day carnival. Many heretofore anxious
for the parade are said to be willing to
do as suggested above.
