been an active practitioner fifty-eight
years, and during all that time he nev-

Several of the roustabouts who had
signed an agreement to make 4 round
trip on the steamer Charles z. Chou
teau, from New Orleans and return,
quit the boat upon her arrival here
yesterday, and demanded money for
the time they had served. The de-
mand was refused by the clerk, as the
"rousters" had not fulfilled their part
of the contract. They Immediately
went before Squire Thouas Fleming,
a Justice Of the Peace, with their
suit and the same was decided in their
favor, as is often done when these
rascals sue boat. The officers Of q
steamboat generally pay the costs in
order not to be bothered, but in this
case Captain Thorwegan took an APP
peal, aud the roustabouts get nothing
until the case is decided by higher
court. If the boats would take an
appeal in all cases, instead of paying
these unjust claims, they would not
have half as much trouble as they dc
now.

Katahdin iron works, about 20 miles
above Bangor. He had been setting
traps some FIVE miles from the camp
On returning he struck through the
woods to reach the camp above. He
came across a small camp which had
been used for shaving splits. The
camp was full of shavings and dry as
powder He built fire to warm him
self and lay down for nap. He had
been asleep about twenty minutes
when he was awakened by roaring,
swapping sound all around him. The
shavings had caught fire, and he was
surrounded with flames. He leaped
for the door, but before he could get
out his clothes had taken FIRE. His
whiskers and hair we're burnt off, and
his hands and face and portions of his
body were badly burned. As soon as
he got out OF the burning camp he
extiDguished the fire in his clothing
by rolling in the snow. He was in a
sad plight when he came into camp,
beardless, hairless, and almost naked.
1t was a narrow escape from a terrible
