George Hodgdon, a cousin of Hiram traveled with the Scott family on the George Raynes.

Ice Trade. — The fine ship George Raynes, Captain Penhallow, which arrived in our harbor on Friday evening, after a quick passage, we learn belongs to the Boston and California Ice Company, of which Messrs. Flint, Peabody & Co., of this city, are agents. She left Boston with 902 tons of fresh pond ice, the largest cargo of this article ever exported from that city, which annually furnishes such large supplies for every part of the world. This is the second cargo received by them during the present year, which affords more than a full supply for their ice houses in this city and Sacramento. The half clipper ship Queen of the Pacific was also at last accounts receiving an equal amount of ice for this company.

Several of the leading merchants of Boston and Salem with Messrs. Flint, Peabody & Co., of this city, form the company, and having an abundance of capital, owning their own vessels, with their arrangements now fully perfected, there is no doubt but that they will hereafter furnish a full and constant supply of this article, so necessary to comfort in warm weather.
