WoRCEsTEK's DANaEH.-Ths Wor-
cester GGzeite gives n history of the
dam at North Pond, saying that its
dangerous state has been frequently
mentioned by different Mayors and
city engineers, and that the County
Commissioners ordered it rebuilt in
1870. Says the Gazette: Its pres
ent condition is simply perilous, so
far as the dam is concerned. 1t is q
simple gravel bank, from fifteen to
twenty feet high, with a wall of stone
on the inner or water side, which was
originally laid in moltar or cement
but that has long since disappeared.
A part of the dam is further support
ed, 1T is a support, by loose wall
Of cobbles on its outer face. This sec
ond wall has fallen down in several
places and is hardly selC-supporting
as whole. At one point a consider
able stream is running from under the
wall, and the babble of quite little
waterfall somewhere between the two
walls can be plainly heard. How
long such q stream can continue be-
fore wearing away the foundations of
the wall sufficiently to cause wash
out is a problem, the solution of
which will be watched with interest.
The confirmation of the ground below
the dam is of nature that such a
sweeping food as that which came
down the ravine above. Williamsburg
is hardly probable. There is a broad
area Of low meadow, upon which the
water will doubtless spread itself; it
would reach the city soon enough,
and would doubtless cause considera-
BILE mischief. And all the valley
along Mill Brook sewer would be
deeply flooded. The outlet under the
Boston and Albany Railroad would
be as nothing, and if the water should
attain sufficient force to sweep away
the high railroad embankment, there
would be no salvation for the houses
on The Island" Immense damage
of property from one end of the city
to the other must issue, with prob
able loss of life.
Steps have already been taken
by the present City Government
to secure the united action of the
joint owners in the dam to rebuild it in
proper manner, but whether this re-
suit can be obtained without another
appeal to the County Commissioners
TO interpose their authority is profile
NAUTICAL.

The completion of the new Western
and Montreal route by the Lamoille
valley, St, Jshnsbury and Essex
County and the Portland and Ogdens-
burg Railroads, reaching Boston via
North Conway and Eastern Railroad,
direct to tide water at East Boston,
will give another entirely new and in
dependent feeder to Boston commerce,
the line being somewhat shorter even
than the existing routes. AS the
carriage to Montreal is for quite
portion of the year by water, this
short rail line should enable Boston
shippers to compete successfully with
those of any other port for steamer
freights, and thus hold our present
lines as we'll as add to our steam fleet.
