Maine. Longs Peak, the highest of the
Rocky mountains, being 1879 feet, and
Mount Washington, the highest of the
White mountain groups, 023o; while
Mount katadin, tie highest point in Maine,
pokes its nose up INTO the air to the re-
spectacle height of $500 feet above the
level Of the seo.-Although the Maine
mountains lie in detached masses and from
separate families, they yet follow the lead
ing course of the Allegany ridge. The
groups of the Saddle Back, and mount
Abb aham aud mount Bgrlow, lie between
the. .Androscnggin and the Kennebec rivers,
while the Ebecme and Bakers mountains
lie between the Kennebec and Penobsco,
the katadin group dividing the two branch
es of the latter river and so on.


The Courier enurnerates twenty six
mountains oil which Maine can boast, whose
sumniis are from 527 to $500 feet above
the level Of The sea, besides others in dif-
ferent parts Of the State, which will not sink
in comparison with any but Katadin in
Penobscot county. Mount Abraham, in
Franklin county is 1887 feet high. mount
Blue also in Franklin county 2,S04, the
highlands at the monuments on the Canada
line 1000, the Sugar Loaf also in Penobscot
county 1000, mount Desert, on the Island
by that name, (highest peak) 1900, and
Streaked and Thvmg's mountains in Paris
Newheld counties SIG and 700.


The people of Maine have good reason
to be proud, not only of the number and
majesty Of their mountains, but also of the
HEIGHT of one of their lakes-the Moose
head-the surface OF which, strange as the
fact may appear, is much higher than that
of either of those of,he northwestern from
tier, being, according to DR.. Jackson, nine
hundred aud sixty feet above high water
mark in Portland harbor, while the heights
Of Superior, Huron, Michigan, Erie and
Ontario. are set down at 622, $50. GOO,
500, and 225 feet. Sn it seems that Maine
can boast of the highest Lake in the world,
and has right to talk large aoout her
m"untains-to say nothing of her noble
rivers, tall trees, hardy sons and blooming
daughters. She has no reason to be
ashamed of any thing but her politics, and
even that article bears ncw and then the
right stamp.
