A Kentucky Girl In Maine.

It seems that Western Penobscot can boast of a very remarkable girl. She is the daughter of Peter G. Kimball, of the Town of Carmel, and is but fifteen years of age. Two years ago she surprised her fether by cutting a very large quanity of wood in a brief space of time. Inis was published in the newspapers, and she has therefore already achieved some prominence. She has this summer begun working at a Mr. Clayton’s in Hampden, near Stanley Bridge. The other evening she started out after supper and put up for- ! ty-five bunches of nay and milked the cows before sunset. Although so young she is very strong and muscular, and does any farm work she undertakes in a very expeditious manner. The next day, after dinner, she had completed her work around the hoqse Mid entered the field again. She loaded three, loads of bay, stored them away in the barn, pitched a fourth load on the rack and stored that away. She then prepared supper for a party of four, and after serving It went to Whitney’s Coru®r, in Nawburg, Mid obtained a. pair of boots for herself and arrived home on her return before dark. The young fellows do not care to try and compete with her, because she always come out first beet. She is of Kentucky blood, and has lived in Maine but a few years.
