Letter from the President of the Augusta
Reform Club.


Reform Club.
Mr.. EDITOR Il feel it my duty to reply
to an article which | read in the last Maine
Standard, relative to the Augusta Reform
Club. ] wish to say to the good people of
Augusta and of the State that we want no
false report to go out against a brother who
Is SO well known as an earnest worker in the
cause of temperance as Joshua Nye. Three
weeks ago Monday evening, at our business
meeting, Mr.. Nye asked to withdraw from
our club. as he thought it would be for the
best interests of the club, but his request was
not granted by single VOTE member
of the club was willing that he should leave.
AT our next meeting, he again asked to with
draw from the club and a vote was taken,
but not a member voted to grant his request.
He had to ask a third time before his request
was granted and then we were obliged to
grant it, for the rules of the club require that
any member in good standing shall have his
name taken from the list if it Is requested.
Brother Nye has been an earnest worker for
many years in reform clubs and temperance
organizations, and has spent his time and
money to help carry on this glorious work.
Many men who have reformed have been to
him for favor in times of need and he has
helped them to money, and they are now the
very ones that are going about slandering
him in every way they can. We have the
best wishes for Bro. Nye and hope the day is
not far distant when he will be found again in
the ranks of our club.

stOnists.


An exceedingly unpleasant experience, to
say the least. happened last week to Mr. Her
man Bartlett of Harmony, and his nephew.
On Wednesday the two men set out from
Moosehead Lake in a birch bark canoe, in
tending to make their way down the waters
of the Kennebec. When three miles below
the outlet their frail vessel met the dangerous
rapids, which so generously abound here and
was borne swiftly along till it dashed upon
the rocks in the midst of the river and was
shattered there. The men managed to gain
the rocks in safety. This was at IL o'clock
on Wednesday forenoon, and here the two
men were Obliged to remain all that day and
through the hours of the chilling night. They
had managed to rescue the hatchet which they
took with them and cutting up the canoe they
succeeded in building fire and thus kept
partially warm At III o'clock oni Thursday
morning j. +. Pierce of this city, was on his
way down the stream with guide when the
two men were discovered and rescued from
their perilous situation. When discovered
Mr.. Bartlett and his companion were on the
point of cutting in two an old log near by and
each trusting himself to a half of the log to
take his chance in the boiling current. 1t is
said that the men could not have survived
such an undertaking, but their situation was
a desperate one, for it was in the midst of a
wilderness and often many days passed with
out solitary person being in the locality,
and something desperate must be done. 1t
was mere chance that they were saved from
death
