CAMDEN BRIpGEs.-From Mr. Kimball
we learn that although some crossings have
been made at the Camden bridges with
teams, to-day, entire safety cannot be ensur-
ed until Monday. The middle slough bridge
can be crossed only on one side. The pres
ent repairs are only temporary. 1t will be
necessary to build new piers, and this cannot
be done until the water falls.
