An Augusta BOY in Michigan.

We notice by q western exchange that party of
ladies' and gentlemen have been spending day
pleasantly in Michigan lumber camp in Saginaw
City. One of the principal lumber operators in
that region is Mr.. c. ii. Plummer, formerly OF Au
gusta and brother of Mr.. $. Z. Plummer of this city.
The party above mentioned were invited to spend
day at the camp, invitations being issued upon
card quite original in design. The cards were
sawed of pine slab, three by four inches bark
and all a ribbon tastefully fastened through
hole in one corner, and on the inside was the in
scription:
'You are gushingly invited to a backs wood din
ner ut {. II. Piummers camp, Feb. 10. Wine cards
will be furnished"
The dinner was served up in good style, consist
ing of pork beef potatoes, bread, warm rolls, pick
les, butter, tea, pie and doughnuts-sad to be the
regular everyday fare of the lumbermen. If So,
who wouldn't be a lumberman
Mr.. Plummer has the entire supervision OF the
numbering of the firm Of Green Plummer, and
having followed the business from a boy, in Maine,
Minnesota and Michigan, understands it in detail,
from taking the log from the tree to ppg the lum-
Der on the dock. AT the camp they are putting in
100000 feet of logs, all of which cut and skid
ded. The total amount that the four camps OF the
firm will bark this winter is estimate at 800 600

off from the shore in Saginaw bay on this

men are supplied with food and fuel; when
last seen they had dritted several miles north
east, when strong southeast wind shifting
to westward drfted the ice towards the east
shore of the bay.
A report from Loberwing this evening says
that fifty of the men made a landing there.
Other reports from various points say about
two hundred have escaped Two men are
known to have been drowned. The ice is

Mr.. EDITOR: Inotce to-day an article in the
Bangor Whig, urging the Legislature TO vote to put
the Boston & Maine upon the rails of the Maine
Central. AS a taxpayer in common with others in
two cities and six towns through which the Knox
Lincoln passes, now struggling to find money to
pay our taxes, protest against the measure, and
ask the legislature to protect me and mine against
the encroachments of foreign corporations.
Listen to these facts, Mr.. Editor:
To-day the Maine Central hauls freig ight and
passengers for mere nominal sum, and yet we,
the people of the towns above quoted, were taxed
100000 last year to pay the deficiency in the earn
nss oil our road. Now our road pays the i. q M

Tor every ton of freight transported over that road
than the Eastern charges. By reason Of the close

business shall increase rs to make it self-sus-
tanning. Will the Legislature crush US by forcing
US to pay fifty cents more for every through pas
senSer aad the same for every through ton OF
freight? ? Is this the way to encourage home in-
vesments, and will Our Representatives discrui-
nate against their own people in favor of rich for
eign corporations?
The Il. &. NJ. assert and have never failed to as
sert that they will not carry passengers and freight
from Portland to Boston at the low rate now
charged by the Eastern. The Eastern is enabled
TO do this by reason of its close connection with
the large freight business of the Maine Central ;
when that is broken by forced connection" with
any other road the people of this state and the
heavily taxed people on our road must pay the

Killed on the Railroad.

Last week, for three days in succession, there
was q fatal accident on the Maine Central-thrce
men losing their lives by being run over by the
cars. No blame is attached to the corporation or
any ofts employees the fault lies at the doors ofthe
poor unfortunates who have lost their lives by rea
son ofther own carelessness. 1t is wonderful how
little value people sometimes attach to their lives.
We have at the several railroad crossings in
this city instances of careless and useless ventur-
ing that would appear alarming did they not eN.
cite utter contempt. A train is approaching, and
the chances are as five to four that person will
have an opportunity to cross the track and e..
cape being crushed under the wheels OF the loco
motive. A fool comes along, whose time is about
a. precious a setting hens, and he takes those
chances every time. Escaping the danger, he
waits OIL the opposite side for the train pass and
to congratulate himself that he was smart enough
to escape being run over. If men want to sacrifice
their lives, let them do it for some worthy object
and not cast themselves hcathen-like, beneath the
wheels Of 4 locomotive.

Lewiston, 90. On Saturday morning about
eleven o'clock, Willie Voyer, aged thirteen
years, had an alteration with James Camp
bell aged seventeen, and stabbed him with a
pocket knife. The wound is severe. VOyer
was at once arrested.
The Lewiston Journal gives the following
account of the stabbing affray
ga stabbing affray on Saturday night oc-
Cured on Ash street, between Cooks drug
store and the fremont House. Two boys
went there for the purpose of fighting, leav-
ing the crowd on the sidewalk above. Hos
tilities were promptly commenced, several
blows being struck, when Voyer, according
to Campbell's versoH, made pass at him with
knife, which he lodged, but he at once
made another, with better success, the blade
passing through the back part of Campbell's 8
coat collar and into the base of the neck,
making a wound an inch in depth. Campbell
fell to the ground, and Voyer took to his
heels. Some of the party upon the sidewalk
picked Campbell up and carried him to the
Office of Dr. Weston, who probed and dressed
the wound.
Officers Noble and Tarbox were upon the
street, and hearing of the affair, took Camp
bell to the city lodging rooms where he was
cared for. The officers then went to the home
of Voyer on Lincoln street, and found him in
bed. He acknowledged the stabbing and
took the knife "a common black handled one }
with which it was done, from his pocket, and
gave it to the officers. He was taken to the
station and Monday morning arragned at the
Municipal Court, and the examination post
poned to Saturday, as it is belied by that time
the extent of Campbells injuries can be de-
cided upon.
Campbell seemed better Monday morning,
and' while considerably hurt, the wounds be-
ing in a dangerous locality. it is not thought
that fatal consequences will result.
Both are mere boys, Voyer being but thir-
teen, and Campbell seventeen years old"
