COMMUNICATION &
[From our Regular Correspondent.]
Letter from the Backwoods of Maine.
No. ^—From Kinro to Kalahdin.
Dear Press: — In my last letter I was
speaking of a French sword we found on the
shores of Lake Telos. Its history is conjec
tural. Whether it is a sword belonging to the
age of the French and Indian wars, or to a lat
er period, is a matter entirely of guesswork.
But Its discovery excited our curiosity to know
something of its owner, and the service in
which the arm was used. One thing is cer
tain, this lake formed one part of the great
highway over which the Indians, for years and
years, bad found their way to Canada and
home again. But there are other records of
past ages on the shores of Lake Telos. Half
way down its eastern side we came upon a line
locality of fossil shells. These, in the hands
of experts, soon told their story of long ages
of the past; and we couM know their history,
when that of the sword was undiscoverable.
Let no one pass over the waters of this lake
without stopping for an hour, at least, at the
monument of fossils on the rocky shore, to
look upon the distinct and unmistakable rec
ord of the Sandstone.
As I have said in a former communication
the waters of this lake are higher than those
of the east branch ol the river Penobscot.—
The experienced lumbermen of the river saw
this fact, and availed themselves of it A ca
nal was cut between the lake and the waters of
the Penobscot, thus allowing the lake-water to
flow towards the South instead of into the St.
John, as it had done previously. Of course
this gave the lumbermen greater fields for
"vir, aim mil' ll uicicaucu UIC aiuuuill U1 luill
ber sold in Bangor. To revert to the canal.
Strange to say, it is cut in the old bed of the
river which must have formerly connected Te
ios and Webster Lakes, but which was stopped
up by the accumulations of sand and gravel at
the outlet Thus the new channel formed by
art, is Identical with the natural one of, jier
haps, thousands of years ago.
Webster Lake, into which the water from
Telos flows, is a small round sheet of water,
remarkable only lor its birds of evil omen. On
the day we passed over the lake these pro
phetic birds, the loons, were making their sad
complaint of coming foul weather, and made
so much ado about the lowering of the clouds,
or something else, that we were compelled, al
most in spite of ourselves, to see if their proph
ecies came true. Many of the guides on
Moosehead say that the wind bringing a storm
always comes from the quarter into which the
loon flies screaming, and they consider it a sure
slgu of approaching rain. Others regard the
loon a veritable Cassandra among the birds, a
false prophetess.
Whether the loon uses a barometer, or
whether it has one of the “Weather Indicators"
on hand, (‘for particulars send a stamp to <Sc.’)
or whether the seasons have been so carefully
studied by it that the weather is read as a book
is read, no one can telL Certainly it is true
that the loon prophecies correctly as it flies
toward the North, screaming in its mournful
monotone, and the weather follow's. But is it
more strange that this bird should be suscepti
ble to those changes of the atmosphere which
are indicated by the Aneroid, or the Electrom
eter, than that a little plant, growing plenti
fully on York cliflft, should fold its purple pet
als before a storm ? The meteorology of the
animal omer uian man is yet unwritten. VYno
will be the Smithson to order the many l'aets
to be collated and arranged ?
The stream flowing from Webster Lake has
a broken and troubled course. The jagged
rocks jn the bed of Webster-brook fret the wa
ter into white foam before half its length is
traversed, while the rest of t he way is compar
atively quiet. We were obliged to have our
luggage carried on a sled procured at Trout
brook farm, to the shores of Second Lake,thus
avoiding Webster stream entirely. Taking all
things into consideration, a “carry” is not the
best of the things of this life; in fact, it may be
numbered among the evils. For even to think
of a long walk through the woods of northern
Maine, with ever so light a load, makes ones
shoulders ache. It suggests mud, weariness
and fretfulness from one end of the portage to
the other; there is nothing pleasant in it. And
so we were not sorry to place our knapsacks
on the shores of Matagamonsis or Second
Lake, to rest before we resumed our journey.
It may give a good idea of the shades of our
camp-life to present from my note-book a page
describing our camp on this lake.
We arrived at six o’clock P. M. tired,
hungry and wet. The loons were true weath
er-prophets, for it has rained hard to-day till
pretty near sunset, when it now clears off with
a cold wind.
Louis is endeavoring to make a Are with
some wet chips and the rest of the party are
variously engaged, some in smoking, some in
cutting wood, some in growling. I am trying
to write a line or two but will wait till after
supper, because we are all so cross, to-night
Supper was not a success. The pork was
done too much,the tea was cold, the bread was
like yellow quartz containing beryl, so much
saleratus had been used in Its manufacture.
Poor cook, how he Is scolded to-night! But
then the fellow might have, at least, w'ashed
his hands before making bread!
The ground is wet to-night and the fire ia
disinclined to burn. But we are all sleepy,and
I most of all. And we shall all go to rest to
night peevish and homesick and not glad we
came. Next day, A. M. Ugh! Good morn
ing? Yes, but cold; miserable night of it The
wind which was pretty high, even as early as
seven last night blew a perfect gale at eleven
o’clock; and down came our tent! The Arc
was carried away piecemeal into the lake by
the wind, and quenched. So we again laid
down with no Are and no tent and shivered.
All have the rheumatism this morning,-;
and so on for a couple of pages more in my
diary.
The lights of camp-life we saw that very day
w hen the sun came out, warm and rich in its
goodness and its great charity to all mankind,
the rays falling alike on the just and the un
just. And the sunlight stilled the wind and
glided the smooth lake. In the deep water of
the opposite shore, we could see the black re
flection of the shaded pines and spruces, and
to tiie left of this we could plainly see the
points at which the rays of reflection were
bent, and the rays of refraction were broken.
But nowhere could we find the “shadow in the
water” of which the French painters talk; the
water was too clear and crystalline, it was as
air itself.
In the beautiful light of this morning we
sailed over the lake and down the winding
thoroughfare of several miles, into the grand
lake itself.
This lake is one of peculiar interest. Jewel
led with islands clothed with verdure on their
summits, but having only a water exposure of
dark and broken cliffs, and fringed with a
somewhat characteristic vegetation, it is a lake
worthy of classical story.1
But although these lakes may have been the
scenes of fierce conflicts and of thrilling ro
mantic adventures, their history is a blank.
The Northern Indians, like the “Pirates of the
East” had no historian to preserve the record
of noble exploits and veil the crimes of differ
ent generations. And therefore we can to-day,
study only the present.
Overhanging the southern part of the lake
is a projecting spur of a mountain which has
long been the admiration of those who have
seen it, but it has never until within a year or
two, borne any name at all. Last season, Pro
fessor Hitchcock, the State Geologist, named
it,very appropriately, Mount MaUgamon,since
Matagamon is the name of the Lake of which
the mountain stands a guardian. The moun
tain presents a bold front to the south of the
lake, being, in fact, as grim as Kineo itself and
as unlike any other. I am anxiously and im
patiently waiting to see some painting of this
singular mountain that its beauties may J>e
studied and appreciated by others who have
never visited it
Upon the islands of this lake we find a pe
culiar conifer, the gray pine of our early ex
plorer. Michaux. It is a tree of most singu
lar habit, and is at once easily recognized from
dwarfed individuals of other species of pine,
by the almost prostrate form, and the leaves
only an inch long. No visitor, however care
less, can fail to notice this singular tree.
These two marked peculiarities of the lake—
the mountain and the pines—are only two of
its many very pleasing features.
Without slopping to speak of the many lilies
upon the low shore of the eastern part; and
the crimson floating-knobweed of almost every
shallow little bay; and the black ducks,timor
ous and cunning; passing by these and other
things of interest at this the “Grand Lake,”
we must now float down the East Branch of
the Penobscot. The Penobscot River is, above
Nicatou, divided into two branches, each of
them large enough to claim a separate name.
Upon the eastern one, we are now approaching
tile “Forks,” and on our way shall see that the
river well deserves the name “Rocky bottom.”
Hardly a couple miles from Grand Lake I)am
is the greatest place for trout in the State of
Maine. There is a little brook finding its way
into the river, and at its junction affords a
place where trout can flourish better than in
the river water alone. Here we fished for
some time with fair success, until, the sport
beginning to lag, one of the guides said—
“Now I'll show you the Bill-fish brook.” So
we crept slowly after him, among the alders
which lined the shore, and soon heard his
“hush-sh-sh.”
Looking down through the alders, we could
see a deep hole in the stream filled black with
trout. We could hardly believe our eyes; but
there were the fish, in such abundance that
Isaak Walton would have been beside himself
for joy.
From that trout-liole we could catch the fish
with a bare hook !
Think of such fishing as that, ye piscators
who patiently whip a trout-brook for hours
and hours, with your fancy rods and reels and
creels and fussy flies, iu the faint hope of en
ticing into your basket some injudicious fish
icnuer yam. t* uu wuat degree oi coin- !
placency ami honesty can you say that the
latter is the finer sport? Is it more scien
tific ? If you do really think so, then please
visit the Hill-fish brook, ami have your no
tions of this subject modified, during this
very summer. There are trout enough there
for all tlie hooks in Bradford’s Boston store;
enough for all angling comers.
Sit under the black shades of Mount Mata
gamon and the Traveller Mountain, and, with
your hook and line, see for yourselves whether
j it is not as exciting sport, this fishing for un
sophisticated trout, as angling for those fish
which have been educated to lie fastidious, so
that they rise only at a fly! G.

TESTIMONIALS I
Commercial House. Portland, June Id. 1*12.
Having introduced the “Anderson .Spring lied Bot
tom” into mv house, after trial, I pronounce it to be
an easy ami healthy bed. I am using several kinds
of spring bed bottoms, but consider the Anderson
Billy equal if not better than tin* best.
N. J. DAVIS, Proprietor.
We have introdneed several of the justly celebrat
ed “Anderson Spring Bed Bottom” to our sleeping
apartments. We give this spring bed bottom a deem
ed preference over any and all othere we have ever

We recommend their use to all hotel kee)>er8 who de

Mr. D. K. Frohock has furnished the beds in my

A. H. ABBOTT,
Principal of Family School, Little Blue, Fariniugton.
I have had the unspeakable pleasure of sleeping on
one of the “Anderson Spring Bed Bottoms” for the
last three weeks, and must say it far surpasses any
thing 1 had anticipated. My wife, who is feeble, has
had no good rest for six mouths till occupying one of
these beds. She would not part with it on auv ac
count. Rev. JOHN ALLEN.
Farmington, Feb. 28, 1862.
