Mr.. Penley's Western Trio.

An old gentleman I used to know wal
10 the habit Of boasting that he wa
from Maine; and commonly added, with
. sly twinkle In one corner OF his eye,
that Maine was very good state to come
from, Especial accent on the last word J.
However that may be, tho people from
the old Pine Tree State have certainly
not been behind the rest Of the world,
either In finding out what was better
than they had at home, or in getting
there as soon as the best Of them.
But tho latest example Of the ability
of Maine people to travel, and to 60 long
distances when once they are started,
has come to me In the person Of one OF
your patrons, Mr.. q. Freeland Penley Of
South Paris, who started from his home
early in the present winter. visited his
oldest son at Augusta, Kansas, then
came on to Delta, Colorado, where his
second son lives, and from there to Nc
Minnville, Oregon, forty miles south OF
Portland, to visit his only daughter.
Such distances, under ordinary circum-
stances, would, Of course, not be remark
able, in these days Of fast trains and
splendid provision for the comfort OF
passengers, Out tuo uuubudi tntu0 I'd THIS
case is that Mr.. Penley is an old man,
nearly eighty years Of age, and for many
years has been totally deaf, owing to in
juries to bis hearing received during his
service as soldier in the War of the
Rebellion; and in all his travels, board
ing trains or leaving them, and the
thousand-and-one other things that q
traveller wants to know about, q small
tablet and pencil have to do duty in
place of ears. But in spite of some seri-
Gus disadvantages, he reached his
journeys end safely, and without ever
once missing bis train, or meeting with
any other accident.
Mr.. Peuley is congratulating himself,
after his 1000 mile journey, on getting
to the Pacific coast in time to escape the
terrible winter farther East; and he is
enjoying the sight of grass growing In
the pastures in January, with nothing
that would be called winter at all in old
New England.

Rangeley Lakes and Megantic.

II is expected that the contracts for
the building OF the first section of the
Rangeley Lakes and Megantic railroad
will be let within a few days, probably
not later than Feb. Is. The work in
cludes a considerable amount of exca-
waiting, stated to be about $4,000 cubic
yards per mile, and the construction OF
about $1,000 cubic yards Of embankment.
The new road runs along the Kennebago
River for about ii miles. Ii will start at
the OQuossoc station of the Maine Gen.
trail Railroad and will terminate at Ken
nebago. The road will also build sta
lions, an engine house and other minor
buildings necessary for the maintenance
of the road. The work will start at the
earliest possible date, as it is the desire
Of the management to complete the con-
struction that the line may be opened for
traffic. While much freight in the lum-
Der and timber district will be trans
ported over the new line 1t is expected
that the road will carry considerable
number of passengers, particularly in
the summer time, as the road passes
through one of the best fishing sections
in the northern part of the state.
