WHARF.-THE Water Company have now re-
ceived all their material for completing the
works. The main pipe from the lake is with
in the city limits. The pipe has been success
fully laid across Little River, the most difficult
job OF the whole work. The conduit is being
prosecuted with vigor, and there is every rea-
son 10 Deheve no more serious obstacles will be
met with IN Its completion. The distance be-
tween Little River and the end of the conduit
only about four miles, is being laid with pipe
rapidly, and can easily be done by the first of
december. There seems now to be no doubt
OF our having Sebago water in the city, in the
year 1868. The unexampled energy and Der
severence of the contractors in pushing through
this great work, is worthy of all praise.
The pipe has been laid in Cumberland. Ok
ford and Lincoln streets, from Washington to
Preble street; and in mos: of the cross streets
from Congress to Lincoln. Union and India
streets are also piped and the hydrants are dis
tributed on Middle and Congress streets pre-
paratory to laying down the pipes in them.
