AFTER MANY YEARS.

A representative of the CALIFORNIAN
had pleasant chat on Monday morn
ing last with Judge B. F. Dennison of
Olympia, Wash, who, after 43 years
absence from this vicinity, returned to
visit thefew living relatives that remain
ed and the resting places Of those who had
died during his absence. Judge Denni-
son was the guest while here of his
nephew, DR.. Henry c. Newell. He was
born in Burke, was the son of DR.. Geo.
w. Dennison of that town, and is the
sole survivor of family of eight sons
and one daughter. Forty-three years
ago Mr.. Dennison came East from
Cleveland, o., where he had been read
ing law, his purpose being, as he ex-
presses it, to "repenish his purse from
that of his father" and then return to
Cleveland for the practice of his pro-
fession. On the way back, however, he
stopped in New York, where he caught the
gold fever, which was then raging herceIy;
and instead of at once resumlng the law,
he joined with seven companions in an
expedition to California with the rest of
the so-caled ''forty-niners. The eight
young men put in two hundred dollars
apiece, went to Louisville, KY, and pur-
chased horses and mules for the long
journey, thence to st. Louis, where they
secured wagon and started out for the
trip across the plains in search of shining
gold. After many hardships and priva-
tions such as only those can realize who
have endured them, the party reached
the Sacramento valley, having been six
months on the way. Judge Dennison
remained in California for ten years,
and since that time has resided in Ore
gon and Washington, for the most part
in the latter state. During President
Johnson's administration he was made
a federal judge, and under Grant was
made chief justice of the then territory
He has laid aside business cares, and in.
tends to pass the rest of his days quietly
at home or travelling about ad libitum
Judge Dennison may be looked upon as
an exceptional type of the "forty-niner,
and comes out Of the trying experience.
ofthose days with apparent vigor ant
the prospect of many years of life yet
before him.
1t goes without saying that after Sc
long an absence Judge Dennison find
many changes hereabouts. In St. Johns
: bury, of which he had some considerable
knowledge when boy, from frequen
: visits here with his father, he finds tn
change most complete-in fact, every
: thing is new, there is no familiar face o
4 sight; and he was quick to pronounc
our village the prettest and most dc
lightful he had seen in all his wanderings
Mrs, Dennison is with him. they wen
to the White Mountains on Monday
S and after short stay in this sectio
e will get back to Washington before tn
: hot weather sets in.

RAILROAD NEWS.

1t is stated that President Mcleod
has resigned from the Boston and Maine,
and that Frank Jones will be chosen
to succeed him at the next meeting.
Mcleod says that as he is not now Of
ficially connected with the Reading
road, and as that corporation has part
ed with it's holding of Boston and Maine
stock, the plans he had aimed to carry
out regarding the relations between the
two companies cannot now be fulfilled.

"A decided improvement is being made
in Randall's block on Railroad street by
the extension of the fronts of the stores
out to the limits of the old veranda and
the putting in of plate glass windows.
This will give the premises an appear
ance more in keeping with the newly
erected business blocks, besides giving
E. N. Randall much better facilities for
showing his goods and much more room
for the transaction of growing busi-
ness.
Operations in connection with the
building of the new Pythian block on
Eastern avenue have begun, and the
first step will be the moving Of the build
ing now occupied by c. P. Carpenter,
which is to be pulled back to the rear of
the lot and turned so as to front Pros
pect street. c. B. Lachance, who is
building the Drouin block, has taken the
contract to erect the Pythian block, and
the work will be pushed as rapidly as
possible.
The st. Johnsbury people who have
already been to the Worlds Fair and re-
turned all agree in saying that the show
is far from completely ready but that
there is considerable to see there, after
all-more than anybody can really
see and enjoy in a few days stay. The
impression made upon at least portion
of the excursionists was that the
management were attempting to give
altogether too large an exhibition
larger than they could possibly do
justice to.
For the past few days the seectmer
have been trying two new road machine:
to satisfy persevering agents who were
sure that fair trial would reveal tn,
merits Of the machine, etc., ETC.. it is moi
probable however, that there will be any
change made this year, as the ole
machine yet does good work. The towr
roads, by the way, are in very good con
dition for this time of year--owinl
doubtless to the great amount of worl
which was done on them late last sea
son. Barring the occurrence of deluginl
rains, the highways will be in very fai
shape this summer.
