small field of broken ice Just below the Kennebec
bridge, and all was clear above to the Knnnebec

The kennebec dam was never stronger than at
the present, more able to resist powerful ice
pressure. The water on the dam lowered some
four inches yesterday, and last night it was csti-
mated that the water there was about feet and 8
inches deep. The managers Of the cotton mills
were obliged to shut down two of the weaving

Washington, April 6.
Conclusive proof has been obtained this after
noon that four or FIVE clerks in the Post Office
Department and several persons outside, have
secured a number of contracts for mail service in
the Southwestern States, by means of counter
felt of stamp containing the initials of the first
and second assistant Postmaster Generals, which
is placed on bids when opened in order to show
that they have been received in time. This coun-
terfeit stamp used to give apparent validity to
bids made at lower figures than the lowest of the
bids really opened at the advertised time. Among
the contractors implicated is Hynes, recently ap-
pointed United States Marshal for Alabama The
contracts thus received will be annulled and all
the clerks implicated will be Immediately dis
missed.

Warren Locals.


The oft repeated saying, during McClellan's
Virginia campaign, call quiet" will apply to War
rem news The only thing there seems to be to
relieve the monotony is the eel fishing. Men,
boys Sc, cut through the ice and then with long
seyeraltinc spear, punch away at the mud in the
bottom of the river, until eel is brought up or
until they are tired. The ice being tender lets the
puncher in occasionally, and his getting out is
more of serious job than getting cells out.
Warren suffers somewhat from inaccessibility,
as the village Is two miles from the railroad depot,
but this difficulty is somewhat overcome by reg
ular express wagon carrying mail &C., and a hack
from the hotel, to every passenger train. But
mud makes delays At present.
Warren like any country place is somewhat scat.
tered. The village proper situated at the head OF
tide waters on the st. Georges river, has good
location for manufactures the river has two good
dams across it about one-half mile apart.
In the village there seven variety stores
dealing in most every thing that country stores do
groceries, hardware, drugs, &c, &c. tailor S
shop, millinery store, two confectoneries, meat
market, two barber shops, good hotel, shoe
shop, two blacksmith shops, tin shop, wooden
MILL two mills ION stream), a grist mill, a
powdermill, shoe mandatory, cheese factory,
besides various cooper shops all over town, and
several carriage shops. There also two dress
makers. The professions are pretty fairly repre-
sented two doctors, one lawyer and two minis
ters (Baptist) There are also two churches
The Congregationalsts have no pastor at present;
an academy building in which the high school is
taught. and a two story town hall. There are two
post offices and an express agent One OF the post
offices is at North Warren where there is another
good store. Besides these South Warren has a
few stores and good hall 1t is pleasant old
Scotch town and pretty drive from Camden, II
miles, or from Rockland miles
There used to be good deal of ship building
here. but as ship timber is scarce here and the
most that is used comes from the South the cost
is increased by bringing it up the river five miles,
therefore places on the the sea coast monopolize
the business. The history dates back some two
turtles, and there many interesting incidents
connected Herewith besides historical places.
