 Park Inspector Andruss has a force of men at work grading another of the sites for parks
  English and others. Two were graded and fenced several years ago, and they make pretty addition to that of the town. The one now being improved lies next east of the two improved ones, and will be ready for fencing in about a week. The fence will be like those enclosing the other parks. The new school building to be erected on Ferry street will stand on similar lot. All the plots are 8 block each in size, and in direct line from Ferry street to near the Quinnipiac river. The grading of Middletown avenue is part ly completed. The part finished is in the vii cinity of Ferry street.
 Nothing has as yet been learned as to the conclusion of the Rev. Burdett Hart, of the First church, with regard to the call rendered him by his people. We understand he has the subject yet under advisement. The de- cision is awaited with much interest, and there seems to be many anxious faces among his people, indicating that their hearts are troubled for fear that it will be adverse, inas- much as it has become known that there are other fields which have been pressed upon the pastors consideration since it became known elsewhere that his engagement with the church was not settled one. We do not learn the particulars, but it appears that he has tenders of important fields elsewhere un- der consideration.
 The New Haven Water Company is laying 1,20O feet of six inch main on South Quin- nipiac street, extending the main on that street from point near the residence of Ro- manta Wells, (of the firm of Leete $ Go. on State street) to that of Mr. George Baldwin, the ship builder.

 The funeral of Mrs. Albert Bradley took place yesterday afternoon from the house, a large number of mourning and sympathizng friends attending. The Rev. Mir. Denslyw, rector of Grace church, oficiated The Rev. MT. Hovey also assisted, making beautiful and appropriate remarks touching the bereavement and the deceased wife and mother. Tributes of regard to the deceased and her afflicted family were also given in the presence of so many sorrowing friends. The remains were laid to rest in the Fair Haven cemetery.
