The Maine Farmer says There are in
Maine seventy thousand farmers. IF each Of
these were to sow an acre of winter wheat this
fall and it should only yield the minimum
crop OF sixteen bushels tc the acre, it would
give the somewhat startling amount of one
million, one hundred and twenty thousand
bushels; equal to two hundred and eighty
thousand barrels of -four, and saving to the
farmers of our State, over three millions of
dollars, (reckoning -four at only twelve dollars
barely which could be iudiciously expended
in farm improvements or devoted to the edu-

results worth making mighty effort to OBJ

Mr.. Rowland Eaton, of Winslow. son of

accident Monday, which will cause him the
loss Of a foot. As the wood train left Winslow
Monday noon, Eaton, at the solicitation of the
engineer, consented to ride to Augusta
and back. While the engine was going to wood
up, after arriving at Augusta Eaton went into
the stable of Jabez Sawin to wait for IL. When
ne returned 1t was moving slowly, and Eaton
undertook to get aboard while it was in mo-
ton, when his foot slipped and the wheels OF
the tender passed over it crushing it to a ielly.
Dr. Hill Is attending him and hopes to be able
to save all the limb but the foot. vs.r.T

SMoTaERED IN VAr-The New York pa
pers give accounts of frightful accident
which occurred at Herman Metzler's distilery
in that city on Monday. Three men were
smothered in mashtub, two of them losing
their lives while attempting to rescue thelr
comradc. 1t appears that one of them named
Fritz Gouge was engaged in stirring up the
contents of a mashtub with plunger. Sud-
denly the board fastened to the end of the
Munger came off and remained at the ton of
tbe mash In order to recover this board an
other Workman, named William Eisefield,
brought ladder and placed it in the tub
holding it while Gouge descended into the
mash While ON the ladder Gouge's foot
slipped, and he was precipitated into the yield
ing mash. Eisefeld stepped upon the ladder
aud no sooner had he commenced a descent
than he also slipped in. The cries of these
unfortunate men were heard by third work
man, named VIM. Weiner, who ran to their
assistance, and he also shared the fate of the
others. Several other employees had now col
leeted round the tub, and all seemed horror
stricken at the event. BY this time the three
men were completely buried in the mash, and
although every effort was made to extricate
them from their perilous position by means OF
a hose, fifteen minutes had elapsed before all
three were recovered. Every effort was then
made to resuscitate them, but without avail, as
they expired in few seconds after being tax
en- from the tub. This mashtub is Is feet in
depth and As feet in circumference, and was
filled with corn mash which was warm. iHr

We find in the st. Louis Dispatch a letter
dated at Bangor in this State, which contains
several curious suggestions respecting the rail-
way enterprises now on foot in the Dominion.
The hint that "poiut," not named on the
Gulf OF st. Lawrence, is to become the great
eastern terminus of the Canadian railways is
worth considering; and the cool way in which
the distance between Detroit and St. LOUIS Is
spoken of as a Comparatively lnsighlncant
gap" in the line of broad railroads, is really ad-
amirable. The distance between Detroit ana
st. Louis is almost great as the distance
from Montreal to Detroit. The following are
most important paragraphs in the letter:
As Won are all aware, the Grand Trunk
Railway, a road of the same guage that of
the Missouri Pacific, extends from Detroit to
Portland, in this State. and the Maine Central
connects with. it at the Danville junction, some
thirty miles from Portland, running to this
city. This road also is of the same guage as
the Missouri Pacific and the Grand Trunk.
East OF Bangor there are Nv being constructed
two roads OF the same guage, and which,
when completed, will connect this place with
Hall1ax, III Nova Scotia, distant 458 miles,
rms important railroad connection is now
be'ng built and certain of completion at an
early day. And when this shall be the case
there Will be a continuous line of railroads Of
Gne same guage as that of the Missouri Pacific,
OF 400 miles, viz: from Halifax to Detroit,
and only the comparatively insignificant gap
from Detroit to st. Louis to fill, to have vast
system OF railroads of the same uniform guage
from Halifax, Nova Scotia, to st. Louis, Mo. /;
and extending still further west to the eastern
terminus of the Union Pacific to Kansas.
From Halifax road of the same gauge is
now in state of considerable forwardness, run
ming further in an easterly direction, connect
ing this principal city of Nova Scotia with the
Gulf of st. Lawrence from which to Galloway,
across the Atlantic ocean, the distance is but
2,OQO miles, being nearly three hundred miles
shorter than the route traversed by the steam
ships from Liverpool to Halifax. This point
on the gulf is intended as the great terminus
of the magnificent system of railway, which I
have hastily sketched as above; and the point
.Or the arrival and departure of various lines
of steam and other ships crossing the Atlantic.
As this vast system OF railways is now to be
completed, and that in a very brief period, the
idea of broad-guage road from Detroit to st.
Louis is certainly one deserving the serious
consideration of the citizens of St Louis and
the friends of the Missouri and Union Pacific
Railways. Passengers and freight from Eu-
rope, bonud to the Pacific ocean, once upon
this road at the Gulf of st. Lawrence and the
gap filled between Detroit and st. Louis, would
never leave the rails until reaching the eastern
terminus of the Union Pacific at the State line
in Kansas
