The Ne,srs. MillIke, ., Haliowell.


The Farmer says Messrs. c. & E. Milliken
of this city, have made purchase of land
embracing the old Shepards and Steamboat
Wharves in HalowelI, for the purpose Of
erecting steam mills thereon for the manufac-
ture of lumber. Their purchase is admirably
adapted to the business, giving them a water
front Of more than = thousand feet, where
vessels can lie at any stage Of water in the
river, and load from the mills. Having bought
the large floating planning mill at Bath, they had
it brought to Hallowell, lifted upon Steamboat
Wharf, and fitted up as the foundation for
mill, which is now in process of completion,
and will in few days be ready for use. The
building is 32x92 feet, and is to contain cir
cular, planer and clapboard, lath and shingle
machines to be driven by an engine OF 70
horse power. An engine and boiler house
has also been erected in connection with the
mill. Everything done by them is Of sub
stantial and permanent character. When the
mill upon which they are now engaged is COM
pleted and in running order, it is understood
that they intend the erection Of large steam
MILL with an engine of one hundred horse
power, fitted with the various machinery
necessary for every kind of work, and capa-
BILE Of cutting $4,000 feet of lumber per day.
The encouragement given to this enterprise
by the citizens of Hallowell, amounting to
$4,000, will be rewarded by large and inn
portant accession to the business industry of

Damage by Lightning.

A succession of terrific thunder showers
passed over this city and vicinity yesterday,
doing considerable damage to property but
injuring no person. In the town Of Hudson a
barn was struck and with its contents totally
destroyed. In Palmyra house was struck
and the fluid passed down through into the
cellar, badly damaging the house and furni-
ture. Three houses were struck in this city
with but slight damage. In one house the
children had become frightened and left their
room to sleep with their parents, when the
fluid entered the just vacated apartment, de-
molishing everything in it. In another
house lady was stunned. but soon recov-
cred. For two hours in the evening the
lightning was almost incessant and the thun-
der bolts passed into the ground in many
places without doing damage. A very large
amount of rain fell during the day and even

An Unpleasa antness.

An Unpleasantness.
The Belfast Age says two neighbors in
Searsport, named Morrow and Peabody had
a slight "unpleasantness," caused by Nor
rows hens getting into Peabody's grain
Peabody threatened to shoot them and Nor
row threatened to shoot him if he did So
Both were as good as their words, for Peabody
shot the hens and Morrow, who WAS on hand
watching, shot at Peabody lodging some
shot in his head wounding him slightly and
placing him in dangerous position. The
upshot of the matter was that Peabody was
some hurt and great deal frightened, and
Morrow was arrested, examined before a
Justice and bound over in $500 bonds to
appear at the next term of court.

Fodder Corn.
Some people choose to give their fodder
corn to their cattle whilst the plants are young
and before the stalks become hard. This is
not the best practice. When the corn stalks
are spindled, they contain the full amount of
saccharine or nutritive matter, that is reardy
to pass into the car and make the corn. If
harvested at that time and cut up into small
pieces the cattle will eat the stocks as greedi-
ly as the leaves, and thus derive the largest
amount of support from the fodder.

Not far from the sum of SIS, 600 remains
to be used toward further improving the chan
mel Of the Kennebes in this vicinity. The
contractor has been engaged in this work for
three seasons, and has just entered upon the
fourth. In 1857, operations were begun with
one excavator; the two following seasons two
excavators were employed; this season but
one will work, and will hardly finish the job.
1t is stated in Mr.. North's forthcoming His
tory, that the attention of the citizens of Au-
gusta was early called to improving the chan
mel of the river between this city and Shepard's
wharf in Hallowell. The first effort was
made by Col. William Howard and others, in
1900, who applied to the Massachusetts legis-
lature for an act of incorporation. This was
defeated, it 10 said by the town of Hallowell
in its corporate capacity, but upon what
ground is not now known. Nothing more wa.
attempted until 1925, and a survey was made
by Col. Albert in 1896 In 1897, Senator
Evans was instrumental in procuring an elab-
crate survey Of the rivers bed, ''to ascertain
the practicability and probable cost of improv-
ing the channel across several shoals or bars
that occur between Augusta and Lovejoy's
narrows" The survey was made by S. A.
Barton, civil engineer, under the direction of
Col. S. II. Long, of the bureau of topograph-
ical engineers. The survey showed that 49,
400 cubic yards of excavation would be re-
quired, at an estimated cost of $4,000. This
sum was appropriated by Congress, but was
intercepted by presidential veto. The citi-
zens finally, becoming discouraged in the
matter of procuring aid from the government
for the prosecution Of the enterprise, held a
meeting Dec. 2sth, 1874, and appointed
com@ittee Of twenty to take the matter into
consideration. The committee subsequently
reported the feasibility of the enterprise, and
the legislature, on petition, granted an act
authorizing the city to raise by tax the sum
of $4,000 for the purpose. This act was &C.
cepted by the people by vote of 562 for ac-
ceptance to "a against In June 1874 a con-
tract was made with George Randall and John
C.. Haskell of New Bedford, who prosecuted
the work during the seasons of 1916 and ls47.
This Improvement greatly facilitated the nav
igation of the river. Twenty years later, in
1866, Congress appropriated $4,000 for the
complexion of the channel, and has since made
another smaller appropriation. MIR. A. r.

Judge Bedford in Diminishing the grand
jury to-day, said that he had every reason to
hope that the guilty person would be brought
to justice in few days. and requested the
jurors to hold themselves in readiness to
answer any summons from the court. The
rewards now offered by the city authorities
and family, now amount to $4,000. Mr..
