Mr.. Pixies Letter.

Since clipping the following letter
from the Adcertiser for publication, we
notice that it has caused quite bitter
reply from the Portland Press: but as it
relates to a subject in which most all of
our people are more or less interested.
we publish it. We hope it will provoke
inquiry and that ship owners aud ship
builders will freely discuss the question
of the tonnage tax and the best mode of
relief. 1t may be that Mr.. Lynch's bill
is just what is needed, or at any rate the
best thing that can be done now. Mr..
Pike is a ship owner and ship builder
and ought to understand this question.
but his experience may not coincide
with that Of others. Our columns are
open to those who desire to express
their views.

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.-Satur,la As
the down train from Boston, due here
at 5 O'Clock p. ~, was running ut the
rate Of twelve miles an hour, after
leaving the bridge over the Saco river,
the engineer noticed about 80 feet OF q
span of horses attached to a single
sleigh in which were three men, driv-
ing towards the second crossing. He
blew the whistle and reversed the en-
CINE, and as the locomotive BY that
time had covered the objects he looked
from the cab window On the opposite
side from that which they approached
the crossing, hoping to see that they
had crossed safely. There he heheld
the two horses jumping as it were from
the front of the engine and dashing up
the road. When the train stopped two
of the men were found on the COW.
catcher. One, by the name of J. j..
Sawyer, lumber dealer Of Hollis,
was laying on his back with his head
against the boiler, insensible, the back
OF his head stove in and otherwise in
jured. The second man, II. Partridge,
driver Of the team, was piled on top Of
MIR. Sawyer, and enveloped in buffalo
robes. He seemed to be uninjured, and
as the train stopped he got upon his
feet on the ground, but was terri bly
frightened, as evinced by his remarks.
The third person who was in the sleigh
was Oliver Tracy. Esq. agent Of the
Buxton Wooden Mills, and he was
found dead and laying against fence
by the side Of the road. 1t is thought
that be was struck by the corner Of the
engine and instantly killed, The sleigh
was stove to splinters. The men were
taken to SacO, and Mr.. Sawyer ct once
conveyed to the residence Of sister.
where he received prompt medical At
tendance. He had his senses short
time, but died Of his injuries that
evening ut ten minutes past eight
O'Clock. No blame is attached to the
engineer BY those acquainted with the
facts in SacO. A cOronor's inquest
will be held at Saco this morning.

The story here denied so explicitly
and emphatically, was, as our readers
will remember, that Mr. Stevens said at
a meeting Of the State Temperance Com
mittec last year, that Governor Cham
berlain had been drunk within week
and he could prove it. This story has
been passing from mouth to mouth in

Mr.. Stevens was named rs the author,
it became his duty to put his loot on it,

Republican was mistaken in calling Mr..
Stevens third party man. He was a
member OF the State Temperance Com

ganizcd, but has acted uniformly with the
Republican party both before and since,

TRENTON

The Lewiston Journal in discussing
the proposition whether Maine is pro-
crossing says:
We have watched the interests Of our
own State with no little pleasure since
the close Of the war. Was she to be
stricken down and paralyzed in all her
diversified interests, by that horrible
struggle which cost rs as State whole
army Of men: Happily she hardly felt
the shock, and started anew on her stca-
dy, but glorious career. First and fore
most among her enterprises are our rail
roads; for without these there can be but
little progress. They are now deemed u
necessity everywhere. During the past
year, we have made rapid strides. Our
railroad system must be looked upon
with favor and encouragement by every
citizen who has the welfare Of the State
at heart. Wherever railroad goes,
there agriculture takes start, manufac-
lures are developed, aud new and thriv-
ing villages spring up. Ten years from
the present will enable man to travel
from one end of the State to the other
in single day, and who would not de-

crease in the number Of roads will serve
to increase the value of the older and
larger railroads in the State, and enable
them to increase the facilities of travel
and freight. As consequence Of our
railroad systelG our manufactures have
received an impulse. Our photographic
survey is attracting capitalists to our
State who are building factories and vii
lagos. We have travelled over large
portion Of the State during the last year,
and have been delighted to see the -four
ishing condition Of our manufacturing
towns. We think we have never seen
more buildings erected in the State than
during the last year. Thus while our
young men are going out Of the State,
capitalists see our advantages and come
in and take possession ofOur natural sd-
vantaEes, Agriculture is waking up rs
. consequence Of what ws have already
said. The wise provision Of our last
Legislature in diyerting portion Of the
money appropriated for county sgrieul-
tural societies to the organisation Of
Farmers Clubs has resulted in the or.
ganization Of nearly fifty Clubs the pres-
ent year. This cannot fail to give 3 new
impulse to agriculture.
