The MAN WHO CURED HN.-Mr. Gregory told
us that, going the other day by steamer from
Liverpool TO London, he sat by an old gentle
man who would not talk, but only answered his
inquiries by mods or shakes of the head. When
they went down TO dinner he determined to
make him speak, if possible, 30 he proceeded:
"YOu going to London, supPoseP
nod.
Il shall be happy to meet you there; where
are your quartersr
There was no repelling this, so his friend, with
the energy Of despair, broke ont:
"II-I-Tm g-g-ggoing 10 D-D-D-Doctor Br- Br-
Br-Brewster 10 be cured of this sl-sl-slslight i'm
impedimcnt m my sp4P-speech."
At this instant little white face, who had
not appeared before, popped out from one Of the
berths and struck in, "Th-th-thhat's the MN
m-man w-w-w-whO c-c-c-cured me"

the route has already been commenced. The road
Will be great convenience TO slate men and the n-
haoltauts of MoDsOn, and will doubtless be iustru-
mental in the development Of the section through
which it is to pass. Mr. Brown the engineer was
engaged on the Bangor Piscataquis extension sur
yey last summer, in company with Mr.. Anderson.
