AUGUSTA. Sept. Il, 1880


To the Editor of the Kennebee Journal;
Permit me to correct a false impression
which may prevail in the minds of too gen.
erous public and do justice and give honor
where it rightly belongs.
Your local reporter under the promptings
of kindly personal feelings to myself in his
report Of the Reunion of the Third Maine
in yesterdays issue under the caption OF
Honor to whom it is DUE" stated that the
success Of the Reunion was mostly owing to
my efforts in the matter, and did not mention
the industrious comrades whose zeal and Ia
Dor had really more to do with it. My GRIP
pied condition, which though honorable and
ofwhich am justly proud, precludes me
from manual labor, which is really the most
essential part, in an entertainment OF TINS
kind, and without such active and good CO.
AUDITORS as l had in the matter, it would
have proved a sad failure.
Allow me, therefore, to state that the sue
cesstul issue is more due to Comrades D. p
Bangs, J. M. Libby. George Fisher, NJ u
Savage, J. l.. Fish, G. +. Gannett. and John
Z. FOssett, who by their readiness, skill ana
personal influence arranged everything IN the
hall, and finally to bountiful supply OF al
necessaries to load our tables. which was SO
readily contributed by the generous hearted
citizens of Augusta.
Respectfully yours,
LEWIS SELLING.

Virginia despatch says an accident at the
Imperial mine, last night, resulted in the
death of nine men and dangerous iujuring of
another. The cage had started for the sur
face with ten men upon it, when the cable
broke and precipitated them down 300 feet,
piling 400 feet of rope upon them. Three
men have been taken Out-two dead and one
cannot live. 1t will be some hours before
they can get at the others.
L.TER-Most Of the bodies were terribly
mangled. The one man not killed is not badly
injured The cable broke at the reel and for
some unexplainable cause the safetics did not
catch. The cable was of best English make
and the cause of the accident is unknown.

LUMBER. The St. John News saws
The prospect for an active lumber season
and steady market for the coming fall are
good. From the present outlook the amount
OF lumber cut this year on the Northwest and
Southwest branches of the Miramichi will
not be less than last seasons harvest.
Messrs. Scott and John Fairly and VIM.
Richards have 10000, 900 feet hung up on
the river and its branches, and these gentle
men will scarcely cut so much as last season.
Lumbermen are getting into the woods very
early this year. Mr.. r. Z. Whitney who
operates extensively on the northwest Mira
MICH has already sent fifty men into the
woods, and Messrs. ID. & J. Richie will
set party to work in the same locality
about the 10th inst. As somewhat uI!-
usual occurrence it may be mentioned that
Mr.. ID. Mclaughlin has had a party at
work in the woods all summer and will
have some 5O,000,000 feet ready this
fall. Logs are bringing a much better
price this year than last while the advance
in wages is very slight. Logs last year
were got out at an average rate of $3.50 per
NJ. Many were glad to get rid of their stock
at S.. Mems wages ranged from $40 to Sl+
per month. A few days since lot of very
inferior logs sold at 81 per NJ. Lumber
operatives refuse to get logs out this year I'M
der $3.50 per NJ, and in many cases 81 is
obtained The changed aspect in lumber
matters is due to several reasons. The Eng
lish market which was steady year ago was
not cramped by the spring shipments, from
the fact that the amount of lumber cut was
not much above the ordinary, and that so
much of it was hung up along the streams.
Last wear operators were looking anxiously
across the water for site to place their stock !;
this year English spectators are enduring
for lumber at considerably higher figure.
The chances are that government lands viii
be used to an extent very largely in excess
of last year.
