fj The ice on the Susquehanna at this
place is about eight inches thick. A num
ber of vehicles have passed over it daily
since Monday last, from Northumberland,
and Irom the Union county shore. There
will be no scarcity ol ice this year, il per
sons do not neglect securing it in time.
There are a number ol ice houses in town,
but not as many as there should be. Ice,
in warm weather, is now considered not
only a luxury hut a necessity.
If some one would put up a large ice
house lor the sale of ice during the summer,
the business would, we Ihink, not only
prove profitable, but a great comlort and
convenience to many, who are not provi
ded with ice houses.

the present population ol the incorporated
and unincorporated district nl Philadel
phia nt 500,1 f)0 persons, an increase of
91,000 since the luking ol the census in
180. Many thir.k this increase overra
ted. . It is said that in no former year have
so many elegant buildings been erected in
Philadelphia. Among the public edifice
erected have been 16 churches, 1 bank, 5
public halls, 27 factories and foundries, 3
school houses, 1 railroad depot, 1 market
and 3 hotel. The whole number ol
buildings of oil kinds, erected during the
year, was about 2.")0D. This is about in
the same proportion as the two previous
years. According lo the census taken in
the summer of 1830, there were 61,202
houses in the city and county. The num
ber erected in the three and a hall years
that have since elapsed has been about
si750. This would make the present num
ber of dwellings in Philadelphia cily and
county about 70,000.
