 The closing up of the river and har- bor channels by ice, will result in the present stock of oysters being used up In q few days, although it is quite pro- bahle that the ice will be broken out and cargoes received before very long. This ice embargo reminds Captain Charles H. Seeley of the winter of 1858, when he came north from Virgin ia with a cargo of oysters in the schoo- ncr Tryphenia. He arrived on March and finding the harbur blocked with ice, the schooner was put before the wind with booms wing and wing. The bows of the schooner were sheathed for the ice and the big boat would run right top of the ice and break it down where it was seventeen inches thick 4 portion of the way tho channel had to be cut by men with axes and at least 100 mon were thus empoyed Finally the schooner was moorcd at Belle docn and unloaded and the oysters which were much needed. were carted to Fair Haven. The breaking of the channel allowed several other oyster vessels to come to the wharf
