An Amfcnble Arrangement Between City
 and Town.
 The committee on division of the City Hall rooms, so as to satisfy both city and town, held an adjourned meeting in the Town Agents office last evening. There were pres ent His Honor Mayor Bigelow (presiding) and Councilman Stevens representing the city, Town Agent Reynolds and selectman Andrew representing the town. The matter of division had been quite fully considered at previous meetings, and there was little to do but come to an understanding. It was unan- imously agreed to notify the Historical Soci- ety to vacate the rooms now occupied by them, and when this is accomplished it was agreed that the Board of Road Commission CTS should vacate their present quarters and take possession of the rooms vacated by the Historical Society. The Board of Assessors will then occupy the room vacated by the Road Commissioners, and it is expected that every thing will again move along harmoniously between the two governments. The city committee will report the basis of agreement to the Board of Aldermen on next Monday evening, and the town committee will report to the Board of Selectmen on next Tuesday evening

West Haven ShOre-An Evil Complained
 Of-Visitors From All Quarters.


 West Haven Shore-An Evil Complained
 Of-VisitOrs From All Quarters.
 MT. John Peck and family, of Woodbridge, and relatives from Litchfeld, drove down ito the West Haven shore yesterday, spending the day in that now famous resort. MT. Peck, though retired from active occupation and claiming three score and ten, finds time for much usefulness in his town. He has served the town as Representative and was formerly a resident of this city and was the mason con- tractor who erected Music Hall, now the Grand Opera House, the late Samuel Peck, 8 builder also, doing the carpenter work. MT. Peck is sound for Garfield and Arthur.
 Many of the residents at the shore like to take promenade on Kelsey's wharf in the early part of the evening just after sundown. A correspondent says it is one of the pleas antest times and places for an evenings stroll, and that every pleasant evening finds this long avenue stretching seaward picturesque scene with it's array of occupants of the sum- mer cottages. But of late great drawback to the enjoyment is the firing of pistols, which deters many ladies from taking the usual walk and is little relished by anybody except the pistol users. The annoyance is generally complained of and doubtless will have to be stopped.
 Among the shore residents is Rev. MT. Kleeberg of the congregation Mishkan Israel, who is. spending the entire summer at his cottage by the sea. Thereverend gentleman, it was supposed, was pursuing his theological studies in conjunction with a contemplation of nature from the end of Kelsey's wharf, seated upon O camp stool, but upon in7esti- gation he was found to be enjoying relish ing number of Puck and suggestive editorials in the New York Herald. A number of the members of his congregation are occupants of cottages at the shore, and many more are frequent visitors there, though in calling the roll at present he finds many of his promi- nent members registered at Saratoga. In their absence the reverend contents himself with prospective preparation of treatise on the hygiene of the shore as compared with the mineral waters so commonly in vogue.
 An event of interest at the shore in the ab- sence of anything else is the semi-weekly ar- rival of the clam ''sloop, " bringing a supply of the bivalves fresh from the mud at East Haven shore. The proprietor of the 'tsloop' is accounted most genial visitor, and he has a list of customers which he regards with honest pride. many of the wealthiest of the shore residents being his patrons, and clam bakes, roasts, stews and frys are devised in the most elaborate style when the most pri- mitive will not answer, especially on visitors days when ''crowded houses" " are assured and all are welcome.

 va1-Nevv York Visitors at the Island
 Other Features.
 The annual grand excursion given by Mir. Edward Malley to his employees took place yesterday. The day was everything to be desired and the sail down and back was de- lightful. The employees, numbering about 225, with their friends, made up party of $50 or 400 people, all bent on having good time. The first few miles out was spent in viewing the different points of interest along the shore, and enjoying the invigorating breezes. Then those who wished to dance descended to the lower deck, where the or chestra played and much hilarity reigned At half-past 10 the cash girls, numbering about fifty, attired in linen clusters furnished with the initials of their employer, E. M., in red letters on the collar, under the leadership of Mr. Wilson, of the house furnishing depart ment, sang together very pleasantly Sweet Bye and Bye,'' ''Go Away from the Window" and other songs, then 'fIittle Sallie Water" was played to the chorus of Babies in our Block" Cheers were given for MT. Malley and family, and Mir. Wilson, who was the life of the party, and the children danced quad rifle to the music of the Golden Slipper" and they were happy sight to look upon. The employees were presented on the boat with tickets for the clambake in the pavilion. At half-past 12 the boat drew near the shores of Glen Island, and many were the exclama- tions of delight at the beauty of the land scape. At quarter of 1 the party disem- parked and proceeded up to the pavilion for dinner The clambake was excellent in quality and profuse in quantity, as was attested by even those of the largest capacity, who arose from the tables without wish for any thing further. Then all separated to view the island The air was cool and delicious, the dancing pavilion filled with dancers, ex- cursion boats coming and going, and the whole seemed like an Arcadian scene. The Coulter Post, G. A. R., of Brooklyn, with the Fourteenth regiment band and large crowd of people, arrived from New York, upper floor of the dining pavilion. At half past three the boat left for New Haven. The breeze was not as strong as in the morning, and the sail was enlivened by dancing, sing ing, viewing the water and social converse. A few were left behind, but they were ex- pected to arrive on the night boat. The eff forts of Mir Michael Malley, MT. Wilson, Mr. Fair and others were untiring, and the excursion was grand success
