AUGUSTA, Me-, July l3.-Particulars
have just reached here of fierce battle,
in which about seventy five men were en-
gagged, and which took place on the af-
ternoon and evening of the 4th, some
miles above the forks of the Kennebec
River. A cayalcade of teams belonging
to large party cf Frenchmen were NOV
ing northward along the river road At
about two O'Clock in the afternoon the
train was a tackled by gang of thirteen
river drivers, who were celebrating the
holiday. Tie assailants made sudden
rush, with clubs for weapons, drove off
the Frenchmen, upset the wagons
and seized such of the contents
as they considered Of value. The French
men were not well armed, but they soon
rallied and made savage charge. One
of them had a revolver and he handled it
SO well that three of its five shots took
effect, mortaliy wOunding one man and
crippling another. The river men then
then produced one or two pieces of fire.
arms. A shotgun in their hands did some
execution, but the wounds it inflicted
were slight. The next man to fall was
Robert Bean, lumberman, whose head
was split open by an Ak welded by an in
furiated Frenchman. He will probably
die. Another river driver, pursued at
the point OF pistol, leaped down bank
twenty feet high toward the river, receiv-
ing fatal injuries. The fight continued
with varying advantage and occasional
lulls until ten O'Clock at night. The
overturned wagons were used as barri-
cades, and the fort was several times
captured aud recaptured. The river men
fought most desperately but the French
men were not so courageous. AS the
force OF the enemy was reduced, how
ever, their courage increased. Before
the last attack was made, ten of the lum-
ber4men were stretched on the field with
wounds either fatal or completely
disabling. The remaining three fought
as desperately as at the outset, and the
struggle did not end till only one re-
manned on his feet. He and his wounded
comrades were made prisoners, and are
now in custody at the forks. Besides
those whose injuries are described above
another still lies insensibe and in crit

damage to wagons and personal injuries

The Law for special Postal Deliveries to
be Tested in tho Fall-The New Special
Stamp for the Purpose. .1T-iG r3sdft.. t 81
WASHINGTON, d. c., July l2.-It has
been stated that the Postal Department
will make q trial of the special delivery
OF letters by messenger boys In New
York and Philadelphia before undertake
ing to extend the plan to other cities, but
the statement was not authorized by the
Postal Department.. 1t is true, that the
! Department does not intend to introduce
the new plan of delivery in all the au-
thorized offices until there has been sat-
isfactory test of its feasibility on small
er scale. 1t is realized that there is at
least chance that it may prove imprac-
ticable or more expensive than an aver
age postage of ten cents wiA meet, 50 it
is thought prudent to give it trial in
few of the large cities of the country be-
fore its general introduction "a is or
dered. This is about all that has
been decided by the Postmaster
General, but General Hazen, the third
assistant, thinks the plan Will be tried
simultaneously in New York, Boston,
Philadelphia, Chicago, st. Louis, Gin
cinnati and possibly few more of the
great cities of the country. When the
trial will begin can not be learned at the
Department, because the date has not
yet been fixed. 1t is not thought at all
likely that it will be before the first OF
September and there are some reasons
why it may not be before the first OF. Oc-
tober, as the advantage of opening new
accounts at the beginning of q new quar-.
ter may incline General Villas to delay
beginning even after all the preparations
are complete. "5i t'5l0IAIK
A design for the special ten cent stamp
to be used for this delivery was approved
by the Postmaster-General on Friday
and has gone to the American Bank
Note Company who have the stamp
printing contract The stamp. will be
about twice the size of the ordinary
postage stamp and the shape OF a,dol-
lar bill. On the left of the stamp there
is pretty vignette of messenger boy
in uniform. Across the top are the
words "United States special postage
delivery" aud along the bottom the
price of the stamp, ten. cents, Is ex-
pressed in figures and letters. 9s Cone
spicuous on the body of the stamp are
the words 'tsecures immediate delivery
at special delivery office" The whole
design is very pretty and effective. r,i1 1as,

ries. Submitting to the discipline
of straitened circumstances, they
develop moral qualities, which with
unlimited resources would have re-
mained dormant. Merchants, in dull
times, ascertain the true value of
reliable customers. The pernicious
results of unlimited credit appear,
and business is conducted on a
sounder basis. The real and the
visionary are separated by bold clear
lines, and solid enterprise takes the
place of gilded speculation. Thus
it is that the era of dull times, irk-
some though it is, may be turned to
profitable account. Such times COM
pei attention to principles of wisdom
and prudence that otherwise would
be in light estimation. If expendi-
lures and purchases were regulated
in flush times by little of the judi
cious forethought of that born states
man who laid up the surplus of the
years of plenty to provide for the
years of famine, dull times would
never be heard of in the marts of
commerce. ssWants' would be
regulated, not by the resources on
hand to crafty them, but by the
extent to which they might be graft
fed consisten ntly with wise dis
crlmination between those that are
real and those that are imaginary.
There is no good reason why there
should be felt so much of the op-
pressive restraints of hard times.
Land and sea, through the opera
tions of agriculture and commerce,
yield no meagre returns. The re-
sources of nature show no symptoms
of exhaustion, but yield responsive
to the demands of increasing popu-
lations. And just in so far as these
demands exist under reasonable
limitations, by so much will the
period of dull times be shortened,
and the interval of it's return be
prolonged.

loan adequate for like purpose
with that of Victoria farmers? There
is large proportion of the public
domain of the kingdom which, it is
said, must ever remain wilderness
until it is artifcially watered. The
success of private enterprise in this
direction, in various quarters, makes
that less hopeless desirability than
it was regarded while ago. Favor
able prospects are increasing, how
ever, of private enterprise shortly
leading the state in the improve
ment and settlement of land. At
all events, while money cannot be
borrowed to give the inhabitants of
the capital sufficient water fit for
domestic use, it might be deemed q
refinement of malice, or at least u
coarscncss of judgment, to suggest,
at this juncture, the raising of a
national loan for agricultural irriga-
ton. Therefore, we desist.
