Penobscot as a Summer Resort.

ScNcf'ti ueSlf;.blc places IOf summer residence
until too late for the general muster. If not all
out Of season help us, please, by inserting the
| following: Penobscot is ninety mine years Old
| but rather small of his age. In fact he i, not
so BIC as he was when baby. Then he spread
| out all over Castinc half of Rrooksvillc and
piece of Surry-about as large as the state of
Rhode Island. His baby name was Majorbig-
yuduce. When they took him out of peticoats
| and put on his first trousers. they had sense
| enough to drop his military title. and as no one
could spell or speak Bgyuducc, gave him Il new
name, under which he has lived ever since Il
| useful and moral life Tn though perhaps not
| very brilliant one. He is Il father to Castne,
half father to Brooksvc and Il >tcp-fatlcr to
| Surry, and his children rise up and call him
| blessed Three miles of his western border is
washed by the PenobScot river separating him
| from his neighbor stockton. This small bit of
Il coast for some reason is called DaShen shore,
Il name very distastcful to the natives. who
have within year or two had a post office cs-
| tablished, named West Pcnob~cot and to call
| IT DaShcn shore now is treason TO good taste.
Here as matter of course he has all the facili-
ties for yachting enjoyed by Belfast and Sears
| port. Here all the delicious fish of the river,
| salmon. Shad and aCWiVcs may be had in their
| season, CLANS tomcods, smct>, and founders
| for those who like them. But TO speak the
| truth the founders are rather fiat. The Ian
