Water Famine in New England.

A Boston, Mass, telegram says, that
in sixty years there has not been such a
scarcity Of water in the New England lakes
and streams. Cities and towns are every
where compelled to exercise unusual care in
the use Of the fluid for drinking and manu-
featuring, and even in Boston, where the sup
ply has been considered infalibly large, ths
water board has enjoyed economy. Ihe
drouth is having most serious effect on
business. 1t is checking the consumption of
materials and the production of goods. The
paper manufacturers have been particularly
effected by the low water, and at least half OF
the mills are shut down or running on short
time. Manila papers have become in such
short stock, owing to the curtailed produc.
ton, that all salable kinds are very scarce,
and manufacturers have marked up their
prices one half cent per pound.
