In little more than six weeks Presi-
dent-elect Harrison viii enter upon
the administration of the government.
II nsas be said thai the Cleveland adj
ministrAlicn Is practically at an end,
for il wiil no. In the nature Of things
venture npon anything beyond the
ordinary routine IN the few weeks of
power remaining 10 it.
When the near approach Of the
change Of government Is considered Ii
seems sospsissng how little the people
know concerning the personnel and
policy Of the uew administration. OF
the geaeral principles which VIII gov.
err Il Ne caa Judge b the views which
General narrison is known to held
and by his psst a4fesanees. Bnt he,
yond this Sc knoa nothing. Its safe
to say that no perSon except General
Harrison himself knows what the rec
concentrations OF bis inaugural mes.
sage viii be, aud Il Is equally safe 10
say that nobody can accurately pre-
diet the composition OF his cabinet. 1,
Is doubtful Il any one has received a
definite oder OF a cabinet position. Al
predictions as 80 the composition oil
the cabinet are based upon the idleSi
speculation, and IL l. altogether likely
that evsn tho>s, who would NATURAL,

While Joe Bnltc was crossing the Dead
river opposite llartly Green's, says the
Plttsileld Advertiser, the ice gave wav
and he was precipitatsd into about ten
feet of water. He could not swim, but
by the help of the broken ice and a small
cedar rail he was able to just keep his
head above the water. Mrs. IIartly
Green and Mrs John c. Green were the
only persons within hailing distance.
MIR. Bultio was about thirty feet from the
shore ami the water was icy cold. Mrs
Green sent her daughtpr-iu-law for very

AWAY, and BY -5dudsiug ia the water
knee-deep Mrs, Green was able to get TIC

landed him safe or terra tlGma. Joe was
so nearly exhausted that he had t. he

small woman, weighing less than 100
pounds, and is G6 years of age.
Fred Baker and Alfred Chase, two
teamsters of Bingham, had hard ex-
perience the other night. They started
in the morning from Bingham with a
load of supplies fer the camps on the
Moxie going by way of the tote road that
has lately been cut from Chamberlain hill
to Baker pond. rhey took food for one
day expecting 10 reach camp before night
but darkness found them stranded in Il
swamp without food or sbelter. Building
fire as best they could they stood up be-
side a tree TO sleep. Soon i, commenced
raining in torrents. The tree under
which they hid sought shelter leaked
badly and with clothing drcnchod they
shivered with cold until light The
swamps Were now uverilpwing and the
brooks rushing streams. They worked
all day to get four miles To The nearest
camp, being thirty hours without food or
sleep. AT times the team. would he in

River improvements

There is no doubt that In few wears
at the outside, the Boston steamers will
l'nd at our wharves, together with all
YES els whose business brings them as
far up the river. Strenuous Efforts ar,
heing made to induce the present Con-
gress to appropriate sufficient money,
not only To compel In the proper manner
the improvements already commenced at
Richmond and vicinity but to put the en-
tire river In navigable condition. A petit
tion has been circulated, signed by bust
ness men who represent wealth on the
Kennebec river amounting to over $50,
600, 900, and will be presented to Congress
by Hon. s, L. Mill.ken, asking for nee
cessary help. The sawdust question Is
receiving much attention and the saw
mills will hereafter refrain from throw
ing refuse In the river. This will be alb
solutely necessary as no amount OF
money would keep the river free. were
all the mill working to ill 1t up. This Is
a matter that concerns every industry on
the navlgable Kennebec and should re-
ceive the support Of every citizen.-
