A Narrow Escape.

A boy had a narrow escape from a frightful
death Monday at Woodford's Corner. The
Maine Central train from Bangor was just
stopping, and 1.-THE little fellow attempted to
swing himself off, as he had seen the brake
men. He stood on the first step of the car
and the conductor of the train behind him.
When he jumped off he slipped and fell be-
tween the platform and the car. In another
instant the car wheels would have passed Eover
his body, but the conductor with rare presence
of mind, quickly stretched out his hand and
caught the boy by the coat collar just in time
to fprevent the wheels from striking him.
Those who saw it compliment the conductor
on his promptness, and say that they involun-
tarily closed their eyes when the boy fell, sup
posing he was going to be instantly crushed.

THE ROUTE TO THE LAKES.
Narrow Gauge Railroad-Model Hotel,
&c.

But few readers of the PRESS are aware that
a narrow gauge railroad has been opened and
in successful operation between Pennington
and Phillips, making the route to the lake re-
gion of Maine much easier than it has hereto
fore been. One can now take the noon train
from Portland and reach Phillips, eighteen
miles from the Rangely Lakes, at tea time.
This route is so much superior to the other
routes that it must attract the principal travel
to this most beautiful region, which is to even
tually become as famous as the lake regions of
England and Switzerland. 1t is really a
novelty to pass over this Miniature Railroad las
it is called, to Phillips, and take the trip
through the chain of lakes known as the
Rangely Lakes, by the Miniature Line Of
Steamers" to the arm of the lake, returning
by way of Andover or back by way of Phillips
1t is trip novel and delightful alike to tourist
and sportsman, and has no drawback, unless
one be found in the poor character of some of
the hotels by the way; but at Phillips new
hotel has been opened the present season by
Mr. Page, called the Elmwood, which cannot
fail to remind one of those delightful English
inns, to be found especially in Devonsh re,
where they bring you the sweetest of golden
butter, delicious coffee, with real cream, white
and spongy bread, trout done to nicely, and,
In fact, everything to satisfy the palate. Mr..
Page, who is a sportsman who has travelled
and knows what a traveller delights in, con-
ceived the idea of setting our country land
lords an example of what they ought to do to
encourage travel, and has succeeded. Being
man of taste, he has placed his house near the
bank of a beautiful stream, and arranged ev-
erything in and about it with artistic skill.
The fishing at the lakes is unusually good this
season. One gentleman caught three fine
trout, averaging pound apiece, with one cast
of his line, to which three flies were attached,
and two at a single cast have been several
times taken. If people generally knew the
delights of this region of Maine, the hotels
would be crowded from June to October, and
many new ones would have to be built to ac-
commodate the travel. Sportsmen of course
do not want to see this, naturally enough, but
constantly increasing tide of travel is setting
in this direction, before which the sportsmen
must eventually give way.
