Board of Road Commissioners.

A New Sewer Ordered-Brfdge Tenders
 RepOrt-App1ication for Loan of the
 Road Roller,
 A meeting of the Board of Road Commis- sioners was held last evening. Present, Con- missioners Chatfeld (presiding), Feldman, Pond and Coleman.
 Order for constructing a sewer on State street, from East street to Mill River street, was read, and the City Surveyor was author ized to advertise for bids, to be opened We'd nesday evening" September 1st.
 Report of the Chapel street bridge tender for the month of July was read and ordered on file. The report showed that the bridge had been opened 132 times during the month.
 Joseph Parker and others petitioned for crosswalk across George street, between Dwight and Day streets, at angle of the street where people are in the habit of cross ing. The petition was laid on the table until the next meeting. The sidewalk inspector was directed to see if the sidewalks had been laid on George street. between Dwight and Day streets, in accordance with an order passed by the Common Council in 1873.
 Letters were read from the Selectmen of Northampton, Mass, asking for the loan of the city road roller to harden a Telford pave ment which they are about to lay in that town. The City Surveyor read some letters that he had received on the subject. MT. Chatield said that personally he had no objection to loaning the roller to the town of Northampton, provided they paid all ex- penses of transportation, expenses of the en- gineer and assistant, and agreed to pay for any breakage or damage that may occur to the roller in transit or while there. He thought also they should pay $5 per day for the use of it. He said there would be but little work for the roller this fall.
 Commissioner Pond said he had serious doubts about letting the roller go so far away from home Something might happen to it that would lead to serious litigation. He thought also that it would be adopting bad precedent, and if we loaned it to Northamp- ton we might be called upon by other towns to loan it to them.
 Commissioner Chatfeld said the more he thought of the subject, he felt that it would hardly be the right thing to let the roller go out of the city yet if a majority of the Board favored it, he would not object.
 The opinion of majority of the Board seemed to be that it was not right to let the roller go out of the city, and the City Sur veyor was instructed to notify the Selectmen of Northampton of their decision.
 The Board adjourned until Wednesday evening, Sept. l.

West Haven Notes,

Captain Nelson Buell. took out 8 party of prominent citizens of the borough, Tuesday, in his staunch sloop W. W. Hulse. The par ty numbered twenty-five. Among the num- Der were Rev. w. E. Worthington, Lawyer c. K. Bush, Captain George Somers, Edward Wilmot, A. c. Heitman, Dr. Barnett, D. T. Welch, Clarence Thompson, and Lawyer E. P. Arvine of this city, with their wives and few lady friends. They left Welch's wharf at a. m., and after pleasant sail of three hours landed at Sachem's Head, and the la- dies of the party soon had the tables spread with variety of tempting viands for which they are famous on such occasions They soon made sad havoc with the eatables On the way there Dr. Barnett, who is called an expert in catching fish, thought he would throw his line overheard and troll for blue fish. In the meantime he was called down Into the cabin, leaving his line tied to the rail. Soon there was loud call for him, an- nouncing that he had bite Rushing up. he commenced pulling in his line, saying, q have got big one, sure" Finally he safely landed on deck stove-handle, instead of & bluefish. He was nonplussed and concluded not to try again, for he might bring up the stove next time. After staying at the Head about three hours they embarked again and sailed to Faulkner's Island, and Captain Brooks, the lighthouse keeper, welcomed them and treated the party with great cour- tesy Embarking again they left for home, and after pleasant moonlight sail they ar- rived at the dock between 10 and Il p. m. They award great praise to Captain Buell. for his splendid seamanship. He tried to make them feel at home. In fact, he is a jolly captain and every inch a sailor The party gave three cheers for him and his staunch craft when they disembarked for their homes.
 D. s. Thompson and wife and HI Thomp- son, the artist, have left Mt. Washington and are at Lake George and are to visit Saratoga before their return. MT. Silas Thompson and wife are stopping at the Everett House, Saratoga.

Patterson Agnin-Despernte Attempts.


 Patterson, of East Hartford, who about two weeks ago made a murderous assault upon his wife, shooting her in the jaw with 8 ball from a revolver, was committed to jail to await trial but was subsequently released on bonds of $1 900. which were furnished by E. B. Sisson, of East Hartford. Last week MT. Sisson surrendered his surety and Pat terson disappeared on Friday afternoon. Descriptions of him were sent out, and on Monday Constable Moore received informa- tion that he was in Bloomingdale, N. Y. Mr.
 Moore at once went there and found Patter- son and rearrested him. On the cars on the way to Springfield at an early hour yesterday morning he attempted suicide by taking laudanum, bottle of which he had concealed about his person. His de- sign was frustrated by the constable, and the bottle was snatched from his lips without his being able to drink more than a small quan- tity. When in the Springfield depot he made a desperate attempt to throw himself beneath the wheels of an approaching train. But this time also MT. Moore prevented him and succeeded in getting him into the Hartford train, and he reached there at 8 o'clock yes terday morning, and was at once taken to jail

A New Kind of stop-Over Checks

A plan has been at last contrived which al- lows the New York, New Haven and Hartford road to maintain it's principle as to the stop over checks and still furnish the public sub- stantially the convenience that has been asked. The solution of the difficulty is found in the issue of coupon tickets, the coupons answering to the various stations along the whole length of the road. person hold ing one of these tickets can stop at any point, retaining the unused coupons which are good for the remainder of the journey. It is necessary, however, to ask for coupon tickets at the time of purchasing, or to ex- change through ticket for coupon ticket at one of the principal points indicated by the coupons or the through ticket. This plan promises to remove nearly all the pres ent inconveniences and at the same time to secure the company against losses, such as might occur on the old plan of giving stop over checks.
