Story of a Lumbeman.

A correspondent sends us the following
story:
The lumbeimen of Northern New
Hampshire and Maine are hardy set OF
men; men who undergo hardships equaled
only by the experience of those engaged
in the late war for the Union.
To carry onsthe business SO extensively
as is often done requires considerable cap
ital, and the " "lumber kings" though lack
ing considerably in the fine adorning of the
person generally ascribcd to such notables,
when occasion called could shell out quite
a pile OF the needful.
Mr.. John Warner, as we called him,
was one of the above sort Of men. His
operations in logging were mostly above
Lancaster, N. H., where, as we have said,
by successful operations, he had taken a
high stand in his business. And with his
large accumulations, besides his extensive
drives in the river, every spring after
starting his lumber down the river, he
bought up cattle, which, with his own log
ging teams, made quite drove, and which
he took down to the lower river towns,
where after disposing of the live stock, he
would wait for his men to come down the
river with the lumber, which was gener-
ally only short time. AT Hartford, at
one time, be had disposed of his lumber
to firm, the surveying was finished up on
Wednesday, and for the purchase the firm
gave their note and as the bank discount
ed only on Monday, Warner would be
obliged to stay in town a few days longer,
or until he could get his money.
Now it happened that from the number
of misdemeanors of late. the police had
b en- ordered to arrest all vagabonds and
suspicious or idle looking persons about
the city. Strolling along the street, one
day, Warner was surprised with a tap or
the shoulder and at finding himself in Gus.
tody; the policeman remarking that he
had observed him abou. with nothing t.
do, and that he must 90 to the lookup
Well," says W., suppose you have
plenty to eat there, havn't you? Com,

will call with me on IN errand as we go

stop in moment" Good morning, Mi
Warner, not getting uneasy l hope ?
No, no, not exactly, but you see this fel
low is taking me along with him and
don't know when shall get back again S
you take this and send up three fhous an,
of what you owe TO my home, and when
get away from this fellow / will call fol
the remainder" During this brief con
versation this valiant guardian of tn,
peace had concluded he was wanted il
some other place, and when Warner turned
around TO go, all he saw was the end o.
his coat-taiis around the corner
Warner always considered this as quite
joke. and often told of how near be
came of getting into the lookup.

With that we went into the corner gro-

"How was that? In spite of the Ex-

"Och, bother the Excise law. We had
drink all round, and made one-half of
them throw away their McCool tickets and
take the Gineral's. But after that / had

Hoffman for Governor ? 1t would have
been intirely agin me conscience to lose
so many good Dimocratic votes"

A "CULLuD WITNEss.-The Baton

extract from the testimony of witness

asked if he knew Sam Bowman, he said !:
" Oh yes, bought ice cream from him of

The Earthquake.

OR city was the scene of the liveliest
excitement. about three o'clock yesterday
afternoon, that it had been our fortune to
witness. There is no doubt but this sec
tion was honored with vertable, genuine.
old-fashioned earthquake-on that would
be credit to localities little closer TO the
quaky regions of the globe.
We were pursuing our usual avocation,
in the third story Of the building, every
thing quieter than usual, when suddenly,
without warning, the building commenced
shasin in manner that plainly indicated
something wrong. Our first impression
was that the floor was giving away, and
accordingly we made hasty transit to tie
corridor at the head Of the stairs. AT this
junclure the compositors and printers
came rushing out of their rooms with an
alacrity that was surprising, and some oe
exclaimed iliat the building was falling.
The continued and increasing shaking of
the whole building fully justified that view
and We suddenly came to the conclusion
that we wanted to get out and that badly,
| 100. We started to go down stairs, but
the thought struck us that going down two
long flights of stairs, with three-sfory
brick building travelling the same direction,
was not quite the thing. In this dilemma,
one of the boys threw up the window
opening on the roof of the adjoining build
ing, and if ever set Of fellows went
through a window in less time, we want
them TO come here, and let US see them do
it. We ran to the cone of the roof, and
found it was shaking as badly as the one
left, and accordingly ran 10 the next roof
1t was Jarring very perceptibly, and, look
ing down in the street, we saw the whole
ely going through with about the same
maneuver that we were at. Every one
was rushing out in the street, and fellows
engaged in the upper stories were coming
down, six steps at jump, hair flying and
eyes popped out, in way showing some-
thing the matter. AS soon as we saw il
was general complaint we felt easier, and
left our perch for the street. When we
went down the whole city was out, and
every one concurred it was a serious
shock. Everything of a movable nature
was ratified in an alarming manner, and in
many places plastering was cracked and
fell from the walls. A large stone was
loosened and fell from the top of the Uni
iarian Church, and in many houses and
stores small articles were thrown from the
walls. There is no denying that it was a
rather serious scene, and we saw O good
many white faces on the street, after it
was over.
From the telegraph operator we learn
it was felt at St. Jo, Leavenworth, Wyan-.
do;te, and as far west as the railroad line
extends. 1t listed about one and a half
minutes, according to the report of per-
sons who profess TO have timed it. There
is no doubt but something is wrong with
the internal arrangements of Mother
Earth but it is to be hoped she will at
tempt to rectify it in other sections, and
not take her medicine in Kansas.-Repu6-

GREAT BRITAIN.

LONDON, May 1O.--In the House of Commons last
night division took place on an amendment made
by the Government to the Reform bill and tRs
amendment was adopted. The Hon. S. H. Walpole.
Home Secretary, has resigned his position in the
Cabinet.
The Hon. Claiborne Hardy has been appointed
Home secretaryiin place Of Mr.. Walpole, and the
Earl of Devon replaces Mr.. Hardy as Chairman OF
the Poor Law Board.
In the House of Lords, Lord Derby, replying to
Earl Cowper i'm reference to the meeting at Hyde
Park took on himself the full responsibility OF the
course of the Government and said that Lord wal
pole had rendered his resignation. Russell and Grey
severely censured the Government in the course
of the debate on Disraells compromise amend
ments Gladstone delivered powerful speech
against it, Division expected tonight. Issue doubt
full. If Government be defeated, certainly dissolve.
In the Commons, on the Reform debate, Gladstone
said the bill was shallow, tOrtuous, discriminating
pretence He despaired it being made good one.
Bright declared it the most Must and offensive ever
submitted to the House, Roebuck and DisraeI de-
Tended it, Then the division followed The vote
for the government was 322. against 2j6; being ma
jority, c. Great cheering from the ministerial
benches followed.
