Gardiner, Hallowell and Augusta, the capital of its State, at the head ofnavigation on the river ; to Waterville, charming University town, and Skowhegan, withits misfit name ; the Kennebec flows through a succession of the fairest and busiest sceneswhich Maine presents.

Sailors call the neigh-borhood of Seguin.
