Meeting OF the Waters.

Situated on the farm OF Scott West in
the to~a of Fayette, kennebec county, are
two living springs only a few rods apart,
but on opposite slopes of a water shed
Rills running in different directions from
these respective springs traverse each a
distance of more than fifty miles before
they finally reach the same destination !.
From one the rivulet flows into Tilton
pond, and its contents follow the windings
of Thirty Mile River through the north
western portion Of Kennebec county until
they are discharged into the AndroscoggiD.
The water from the other finds its way in
to the Little Norridgewock stream along
whose devious course through a part of
Franklin county it il carried to the Sandy
river and emptied into the ker aebec. Thus
these waters springing from sources so near
each other after meandering so many miles
at last meet and mingle at the confluence
of the Androscog9in and kennebec rivers
in Merrymeetiny Bay.
