The lumber business is increasing at Muske- gon, up to Nov. 1st it has shipped 480,207,000 feet of lumber and 17,724 cords of slabs. While James Miller was adjusting a belt in Reid's saw mill, near Foxboro, his arm came in contact with a circular saw. Amputation was found to be necessary. Wm. Downs, a workman engaged in the Dawn lumber woods, had his leg smashed Nov. 12th, by a log rolling upon it. He was taken to Dresden.
