DIVISION OF WEsTBRooK.-We have several
part of Westhrook were in favor of a division
OF the town, and we understand that the pc
titions which have been circulated among
them to that effect have been signed by all but
a very few, so far as they have been circulated.
The proposed division lines, and the reasons
for the division we give below
Commencing at the Presumpscot river al
the line of the town of Falmouth, thence up
sac river to the westerly corner of the Hunt
farm; thence along the westerly line of said
farm to the Portland & Rochester Railroad
thence along the southeasterly line of the Lar
rabee farm to the Congin road; thence along
the northerly line of the Widow Lambs farm
to the land of the heirs of Moses Quimby
thence along tbs easterly and southerly line OF
the land of said heirs to Stroudwater road, at
the Canal Bridge; thence on straight line
through the pastures of George and Isaac
johnson to the land of w. D. Boothby; thence
along the line of said Boothby's land to the
line of Cape Elizabeth.
The following reasons are given for separa-
ton.
FrSt-Tbat the Town is too large having over
400 vo,ers, seven villages widely separated
and more widely distinct in their interests,
each requiring pecuniary appropriations.
Second-In consequence of the great num-
Der of voters assembled at Town Meetings the
business cannot be transacted either under
standngly or impartially.
Third-Our manufacturing village acquire
C,,,r -. .n,1,
for their benefit, and not required by the
Eastern Section. The Eastern section vice
versa.

BY TELEGRAPH TO THE


FRAUD IN THE NEW YORK CUSTOM HOUSE.
New YORK, Nov 11-Evenipg.- The Post
states that the qcestion whether Deputy Col
lector Blatchiord is connected with the i'm
mense drawback frauds recently brought to
light in the New York Custom House has been
definitely settled by investigation. Examin-
alton of papers were made at the Custom House
this afternoon by Collector Grinnell and Dis
tiict Attorney Pierrepont. The investigation
made this afternoon demonstrated beyond
doubt that an immense quantity OF goods have
been removed from the bond upon fraudulent
papers and that the government has been de-
frauded of not less than eight hundred thOus-
and dollars, the aggregate amount may reach
one million. How deeply Blatchfold is con-
cerned in the frauds, the government officials
having chrage of the investigation do not at
present feel justified in making public. The
frauds committed against the government in
the drawback department of the Custom
House were cOnsumated in some cases by
fraudulent papers and in other cases by chang
ing amount on which the drawback was DUE
The frauds were committed in the boldest pos
sible manner, and it is therefore supposed that
some one holding a responsible place under
the government was concerned in them.
