Ice
   About one hundred tons of ice -- 3 car loads {one of the numbers is wrong -- 100 tons would have required over 12 cars; three cars would have carried 24 tons}-- were brought to this city yesterday, from Fredericksburg . The article is very much in demand in this city. The lack of it has enhanced the price of drinks about one hundred per cent.
