Parochial school.

St. Francis Chureh-The Foundation
 Started on Ferry Street, Adjoining the
 Church.
 Among the notable events in Fair Haven the present year is the decision of St. Francis R. c. church to erect aparochial school. The church has been much prospered, although one of the youngest churches of this faith in this section of the State, and it has become so.wel situated financially and prospectively that nothing was felt to hinder erecting a parochial school for the parish, following the example set by St. Mary's, St. Johns and St. Patricks churches. The church bought some few years ago quite a large tract of land on Ferry street adjoining the church, running to the next corner above, and on this lot the new building is to be erected. The lot on the rear adjoins the lot the purchase of which the Fair Haven Ceme- -tery Association has in view for an enlarge ment of the cemetery, which purpose the church, however, does not fall in with, and it appears will probably contest when the matter comes up before the Legislature. The work of excavating the cellar for the new school building has been begun, and as the city school district is erecting another new school structure in Fair Haven on the same street, matters are evidently lively in this fourishing though outlying part of the city.
