SOUTH WINDS AND TIDE
PACK CHANNEL WITH ICE
One Steamer Arrived Today From
Lower-River Points-Oysters
Only From Bay Points.

Souther!y winds and full high tide
brought all the drift ice in the river
toward this city, and yesterday after
noon from the forks of the channel to
Fort Washington the waterway was
packed solid with the frozen masses.
While the mild weather yesterday must
necessarily have made some impression
on the ice on the river, as far as the
eve can see it shows no indication or
thawing, and yesterday evening after the
sun went down ice could be seen making
in the patches of open water. 1t will re-
uuire several days of good warm weather
to soften the ice so as to make navigation
easy.
The steamer Northumberland, running
on the route between this city, the lower
river ,andings and Baltimore, arrived
here this morning with freight and pas
sengers from over her route and will
probably leave tonight or in the morning
on a return trip to Baltimore. This Is
the first trip the Baltimore line has made
in about a week. When the freeze came
only sidewheel boats were on this route,
the Northumberland, which is a screw
steamer being laid up for repairs. AS
yet sidewheel steamers have not attempt
ed to resume service on the river routes
and II will be severa days before condi-
tons will be such as to allow them to
run Tug No. IL Of the Standard Oil
Company fleet reached here this morning
towing a tank barge laden with oil from

DENIED BARRE's POLICE RECORD.
But Two Cases in Court for Intoxication
Didn't Spoil It.

A serene April at police headquarters
was broken yesterday by the arrests
of James FURY, who lives Just over the
line on Beckley street in Barre Town,
and Oscar Nelson of Pearl street. Officer
John S. Murley made both arrests in
the middle of the afternoon. He found
FURY hugging the palisades on Cliff
street and Nelson was circling around
Burnham's meadow when taken into GUS
tody.
Before Magistrate H. w. Scott in
city court to-day FURY pleaded guilty
to a subsequent offense and was asked
to disclose. Replying to the questions
of Grand Juror William Wishart. FURY
told of taking a nip Sunday to stay
the inroads of severe cold. He con-
tinued to drink at intervals until ar
rested, although he couldn't remember
where he got his whiskey. unless it came
from his own home. Ed. English seated
in the rear OF the court room, vouch-
safed the information that Mr.. Fuiry's
narrative was incontrovertible. Mr.
English was summarily hushed and the
court fined the respondent SIS and costs
of $50, which he arranged to pay. Nell
son pleaded guilty to first offense and
paid the minimum fine with costs of
1856. Up to the present time only three
arrests for intoxication have been made
in April.

BARRE BOYS GET FARMING HINTS
Instructive Talks Were Given by George
Adams and A. L. Smith.

Very instructive talks by George
Adams and A. L. Smith were given at
the Mathewson school last evening to
the boys of the corn and potato clubs.
Mr.. Adams had with him two of the
ears of corn which brought him prizes
at Columbus. o. With these he illus
trated the best kernels TO choose for
testing and with box of earth, which
he had prepared, he showed the boys
how to test their seed for its germinat-
ing powers. Every step on the path
of successful corn raising was carefully
gone over by the speaker, even to the
method of choosing the right ears to
send to an exhibition if one wished to
receive prize.
Mr.. Smith prefaced his remarks with
an earnest plea for the life of the Yer
mont farmer, telling the boys that right
here was an opportunity for a life of
usefulness and prosperity equal and in
many respects superior to that of any
other locality. The preparation of the
soil Mr.. Smith showed to be of the
greatest Importance in any crop. The
choice of fertilizers. the manner in which
they should be distributed and the
amount to be used was carefully told.
With two of his choice Lincoln potatoes,
Mr.. Smith showed the right size for seed
and described very infinitely every step
of the way in the planting process. The
wedding and care of growing plants, the
best method of fighting enemies of the
potato was given from sterilizing the
seed before planting to kill any possible
germs of scab to the late summer spray
ing with bordeaux mixture. which keeps
the tops green and healthy. ensuring
sound potatoes and better keepers"
Both speakers kindly invited the boys
present to visit their farms and see the
processes which they had described in
actual operation.
