Sad Accident at Rockland.

Especial despatch to the Daily Kennebec journal.
Rockland, Me-, l. Three adjoining wood
en- buildings at the brook, on Main street, the
carriage factory of Mr.. Adams, Jones lumber
Office, and Thompson's fish market, which
we're being raised to the new grade Of the
street, fell at eleven o'clock, distance of
eight or ten feet, and are a complete wreck.
A gang of men were at work under the build
ing at the time of the accident, all but one of
whom escaped without serious injury. One
workman, named Reed, who was under the
middle of the buildings when they. fell is
missing, and is supposed to be buried under
the wreck. 1t is supposed he must have
been killed by the fall. A large gang of men
are at work clearing tie debris in the search
for the missing man. The loss of property
will be several thousand dollars.
LATER.
The large force at work upon the ruins of
the buildings which fell this forenoon, dis
covered the body of the missing workman,
Robert Reed. He was found doubled up and
crushed under the fallen timbers, and must
have been instantly killed while attempting to
escape. Reed was about thirty years of age.
He leaves wife and one child.

The annual meeting of the Augusta y NJ.
c. A. was held at the rooms of the Associa-
ton on Monday evening. The President
briefly reviewed the work of the past year
which has been satisfactory considering the
number of active members and the means at
their disposal. A mission Sunday school has
been established at the rooms into which have
been gathered nearly fifty children from the
streets, who have been comfortably clothed
and provided with bibles and other books
Several missions schools in the suburbs of
the city are sustained during the summer
months by members of the Association, and
are the means of breaking the bread of life to
those who have not the religious privileges
enjoyed by residents in the city. The report
of the Treasurer shows that the Association
is out of debt, with small sum remaining in
the treasury. An election of officers was
held with the following result: President,
David Cargill; Secretary, David c. Stone {;
Treasurer, Samuel S. Brooks.

The Colt excursionists, from Worcester,
Mass, and adjoining towns, and numbering
about three hundred, are making their annual
excursion to different parts of our State, hav-
ing chartered vessel for that purpose. They
will arrive at Gardiner on Thursday morning
next, and it is highly probable that they will
on that day make flying visit to our city
Elaborate preparations for their reception Of
course cannot now be made and will not be
expected, but we trust that some public rec
ognition will be taken of their coming a
formal welcome by the Mayor either at the
State House or in Granite Hall, and other at
tentions, would be very pleasant to the excur-
sonists

Perhaps a few words from this vicinity may
not be wholly devoid of interest The Belfast
& Moosehead Lake r. r. which passes
through our village is giving a new impetus
to our industries. Six trains per day pass
regularly over this road, and judging from
appearances, are doing good business. We
have four stores, all of which have good run
of custom-and the usual amount of loafers.
A fine water power which is, as yet, unde-
veloped to its utmost extent, invites some
capitalist to locate in our midst, and create q
business, profitable, not only to himself, but
also to the community.
"shank factory" has lately been put into
operation here. Shanks for boots are made
from beech, maple and birch and shipped to
soles of boots beneath the hollow of the foot
to give the stiffness and required shape. The
factory employs some 20 hands. laundering
is about played out" with us though much Of
the smaller grades is yet left.
The hay crop is about two-thrds of last
years clip. Farmers are laying in a store of
corn and other provender, to meet the de-
ficiency. Potatoes and corn promise well
and We may expect full an average harvest.
Fruit will be light in yield; wild fruits have
been scarce.
We are awaiting with some anxiety the de-
cision of a case pending between the town and
the r. X. Co., regarding a subscription of
$40, 900. By consent of parties it was car
ried up to. the law term of June last at Bangor.
Decision has not yet been rendered. Our war
deb. yet hangs over us to the amount of some
five or six thousand dollars, and seems hard
to be wiped out. The equalization of war
expenses helped us out about one-third.
We need good high school established
here. Our facilities are good, but there
seems deplorable lack of enterprise regard
ing the importance of such an institution.
We think that there is light ahead, and that
we are approaching better state of things
We hope for this, devoutly. But l have
written enough, such as it is and will en-
deavor to do better in future.
Respectfully yours,
RuFUs WARD.

Our correspondent "Rus" suggests, as the
farmers feel little "blue" on account of the
small yield of hay. that they, pillow up dress
and SOW down some of their land to corn and
turnips for their stock. Let them get rid of
their old horses, and the best of their stock
can be wintered by using about one half the
usual amount of hay along with the fodder
which ian now be easily raised.

At half past one o'clock yesterday afternoon
the whistle of the steam mill on the east side
