THE SEALED CAR QUESTION Respecting
the sealed car trouble, the Advertiser hears a
story to "the effect that a very prominent and
responsible business man in Augusta, who is
in the way of importing large quantities of
small lumber into this state for manufacturing
purposes, recently caused a car of lumber to be
sealed at Coaticook according to law. This car
cana through to Portland under seal and with
out detention, but attached to it was bill for
fees and charges amounting to between ten
and eleven dollars, as we get the story, whereas
the legal fees thereon were but seventy five
cents
The report further.goes on to say that anoth-
er car load of similar lumber was consigned to
the same party and duly sealed by the consul at
Coaticook. This car, instead of being permit
ted to come to its proper destination, as ii ought
to have been, was detained at Island Pond for
entry, and that upon representation of the
facts, it was understood the car would be per-
mitted to proceed to its port of destination
without further detention. And yet, in the
face of all this, the car has been detained to
the present day. subjecting the owner to 81
day demurrage.
If these stories are true, and are brought to
the attention of our members of Congress, we
cannot believe they will permit such outrages
to be continued

ACCIDENT ON Mt WAsHINGToN.-Monda
morning at 6 clock, E. F. Pratt, Esq, of Mil
waukee, with driver, started in a carriage to
which was attached six horses, from the Sum-
NIT House for the descent of Mt. Washington.
They had proceeded but about half mile.
when sudden and tremendous gust of wind
struck the carriage, breaking the pole. Mr..
Pratt leaped out and caught one of the leading
horses by the bride, while the driver kept his
seat and held the reins. They got the horses
heads turned up the mountain, when another
blast came with a velocity of eighty miles an
hour, striking the carriage and hurting it and
the driver down a precipice twenty feet, on to
the ragged rocks below. Mr.. Pratt let go the
horses, and crawled as best he could down the
rocks to where the wreck of the carriage was
lying, expecting of course to find the driver
dead or seriously injured. What was his sur
prise, however, when he reached the spot, to
see the driver clearing himself from the debris
with scarcely bruise or scratch upon him.
Mr.. Pratt was fortunate in leaping from the
carriage
