It requires a bunch of men to pack the necessary amount to keep us cool next summer. The season will probably continue a week or two from present appearances. A peculiar fact it is that though the weather has hovered about zero for a week past and there is eight-inch ice on the ponds, the river has not frozen over. This is accounted for by the fact that the river was bank full and the current has been so swift that it prevented freezing.
