The Saco Rrenkwafer.

SACo, May 10, 1862
Mr.. Editor Gen. George Thorn, of tho En-
gineer corps, U. S. A., who has for several
years had charge of the public improvements
in our harbors and rivers in this State, visited
the mouth of Saco river to-day to examine the
condition of the breakwater which has recent
ly been completed. The wall at the mouth of
the river, in the vicinity of the bar, now reach
es in length thrse-fourths Of a mile, and has
required fifty thousand tons of rock to con-
struct it. The result of this expenditure fully
realizes the expectations of the projectors and
engineers. The channel at the mouth OF the
river which was formerly uncertain and cir
cultous' IS now well defined and deeper. Yes
sells which draw twelve and thirteen feet of
water enter tho mouth of the river easily.
when formerly it was not safe for vessels
drawing ten feet. Vessels loaded with coal
now pass up the river to tho wha;yes. which
was impossible few years ago. A furtbar
improved condition of things at This point in
anticipated. Congress made an appropriation
last winter of $4,000 to complete this work.
and this amount has beeen carried to the Gen.
erals credit by the Secretary of the Treasury,
who will soon issue proposals. for the work yet
to be completed. This is one of the results Of
the efforts of our efficient member of Congress,
Hon. John Lynch. Gen. Thorn is an indus
trious and accomplished engineer, and has
taken deep interest in our public improve
ments. The success which follows his engin-
eering must be pleasing to himself as it is BEN
eicial to the public. YORK.

A correspondent of the Lewiston Journal
says that Zelotus p Judkins of Livermore.
on Saturday, the 18th instant, while in
from ms ouse by some ineans ia
gun. the contents of which passed through his
head, causing immediate death.
The Lewiston Journal says that on Tuesday
a man was brought to that city FROM Mon
mouth, charged with attempting rape upon a
little girl in Wales. He was lodged in jail to
await examination before the Municipal court
PENoBscoTS COUNTY.
The Bangor Wing says the high water,
caused by the high rain of last week, obliged
the mills to hang up again on Monday for the
third time this spring. The delay caused a
good deal of Inconvenience to the lumbermen
and makes the freighting business rather slow
The Bangor Wing learns that Messrs Soule
& Co., of that city, who are making drive on
the West Branch of the Penebscot, have lost
two of their men on the upper waters near the
Canadian line. VIM. Raney was killed ON the
ing, he being carried under the logs and
not seen again until five days afterwards
when his body was found and decently inter-
red. About one week since James Dority was
drowned on jam. He was thrown into the
water and seen to cling to log for some
time, when he sunk and was seen no more.
Raney belonged on the Ksnnebec, and Dority
belonged in Olamon or Passadumkeag.
The Wing says day or two since Marshal
Bolton received Information that Thomas Fitz-
patrick, of Philadelphia was lost overheard
from the brig Sarah Gilmore, of Stockton
May z, while coming up the river, and about
one mile this side of Winterport. He was
steward of the brig.

y PRoGRKss OF THE WATER WoRKs-The
work on the main line to the lake is being
pushed with all possible energy, new machin-
cry having been applied to the conduit, and all
the help allowable employed. Mr. Coleman,
the Superintendent, is resolved to make good
the prediction of the most sanguine wishers, if
possible, which hoped for the introduction of
water into the city by the Fourth of July.
In the city large crews of men are at work at
two points on Congress street, and another
large force has begun operations ON CONNER
cial street, and will work towards the west end
rs fast as possible. The reservoir is also un-
dertaken with the same energy, and to-day
viii see twenty-five teams at work hauling
away the top EARTH We have seen the plan of
this work, and it will be a very ornamental af-
fair, as well as very massive one
Mr.. Halliday, the President of the contract
ing company, is bending all his great energies
to the whole work, and we have not the slight
est doubt that our people will find this great
enterprise completed sooner than they have
heretofore dared to hope
We deem it duty, in view of the forward
ness of the work, to call attention of the citi-
zens to the necessity of putting in their SER
vice pipe as early as may be. Certain it is that
time and trouble will be saved by early action
as to this important matter
