MUCH INCONVENIENCE CAUSED
To the Busy MANUFACTURERS at Gardner by The
High Pitch Of Wafer.

Gardiner, Me, April 9.-(SpeciaD.-
The general opinion is that the frcshct
has reached its limit in this city and
all are looking for the water in the
river to rapidly rccede. word coming
from up river that the water IS falling
off. The tide of yesterday morning
was the highest of all. being about ID
inches above that of Monday evening.
owing to the warning and experience
that all have had with high water,
there was no loss. The tide of yester-
day afternoon only held its own reced-
ing about 10 inches on the ebb ana
gaining nothing on the flood. On the
remainder of the tides it is looked Tor
a fast falling off.
This vicinity is escaping with very
little loss, though there has been a
considerable Inconvenience. The heaV-
lest loosers will be the Postal Tel. Co.
whose cable across the river was
broken and damaged by water. The
loss will amount to over $1,000, and the
cable cannot be replaced permanently
until the lowest tides of summer. The
company is now working across the
river, having n wire stretched across
