West Haven.

The musical and literary entertainment to be given by the Masonic fraternity in their lodge room in Thompson building this even- ing will be an excellent one, as the names on the programme indicate, viz, Miss Hattie Marsh, Miss Sophy Northrop, Mir. William Cross and MT. J. c. Stock, with Miss Pamelia Smith at the piano. In addition Mrs. Bur nett and her son will give readings. Mira Burnett will be in costume.
 The many friends of Miss Hattie Cady are sorry to learn of her serious illness at her mothers residence on Brown street, and hope that she may soon recover her usual health.
 The wife of William Evan, who is daugh- ter of Joseph Miller, of this city, lies very low with quick consumption, and her death is looked for daily. It will be sad blow to MT. Evan. He resides on Washington ay- enne, and is an old employe of the West Ha- ven Buckle company.

Steam Dredging.

A correspondent says: ''As to steam dredg- ing there is, as in most cases, two sides to the question. True, the use of steam in dredging for oysters will hurt many deserv- ing oystermen who are dependent on the old fashioned way of taking oysters by sailing for oysters in their sharpies with their hand power dredges and tongs, but it might be said the same of all new inventions, that wherein they benefit they also for time injure. Steamboats have superseded packets and rail- roads the stage coaches, &c.. on land. Why should not steam supersede sails on the water in oyster dredging as in everything else ?'' ;

 debt. So far as the fire department is con- cerned there none better in the State. There is certainly nothing that can be said against the road department, and there is really no ground of complaint against the police department. It is said in behalf of this measure that the Democrats have not been as polite to the Republicans as they ought. You cannot make anything else out of it. He then referred to the fact that Republicans had often been sent to the Legislature from New Haven, showing that the Democrats did not always stick to their party, but were ready to vote for good Re publican nominations in opposition to bad Democratic ones. It was preposterous to say that su0hSmen as the Ingersolls and the Eng fishes and others I might name would ass oci- ate themselves with party that is incapable of self government Referring to the deputy marshals he said it was very evident that these marshals had not the power they claim ed to have, and the less said about it the bet ter. In 1874 the Democrats came into power in the Legislature, and they presented bill wiping out commissions and the entire police force of New Haven, but a Democratic Legislature refused to do this, and he thought it would be wise for the Re- publicans to follow their example So far as the police force is concerned, it was non- sense to say that the police force is corrupt. There may be inefficient men on the force but there is a plenty of law to get rid of them at present. I see no reason and there is none, why the entire force should be leeis- lated out of office. There is no public de- mand for this thing. and so far as can learn the public do not favor it. So far as the ap- pointment of commissions is concerned, Mir filling favored the approval of commission CTS by 8 tRo-thirds vote of the Board of AL dermen, and argued that this would prevent bad men from getting on the commissions He thought, however, that the Mayor should be president er-o6fcso of all the commissions. MT. Stoddard made the closing argument for the remonstrants. He said he could not ! find any expression that covered the pro- posed plan of having the county commission CTS appoint one of the members of this board more appropriate than, as stated by Hon. Henry B. Harrison, that it is 'sperni- cious.' The theory that the people of. New Haven must be disfranchised he did not be- heve would find favor anywhere. One year ago, said the speaker. the charter was under revision, and no one thought of introducing these objectionable features Again this year the revision was considered by non partisan committee, and no one thought of introducing any of these features

A Cure by Imagination.

At large hotel the not uncommon
dilemma arose of there being only one
room in the house vacant when two visi-
tors required accommodation for the
night. 1t was double bedded chamber,
or was soon converted into such, and the
two guests-who were both commercial
travelers-agreed to share it. One of
these gentlemen was a confirmed hypo-
chondriac, and greatly alarmed his COM
panion by waking him up in the middle
of the night, gesping for breath.
Asthma, he painted out; ''I am sub
ject to these spasmodic attacks. Open
the window quickly; give me airr'
Terrified beyond measure, the other
jumped out of bed. But the room was
pitch dark; he had no matches, and he
had forgotten the position of the window
'For heavens sake, be quickI' gasped
| the invalid. Give me more air, or I
shall chokei"
AT length, by dint of cropping wildly
and upsetting half the furniture in the
apartment, the window was found; but
it was an old-fashioned easement and no
hasp or catch was to be discovered.
Quick, quick; air, air" implored the
apparently dying man. "Open it, break
1t, or l shall be suffocated!'
thus adJured, his friend lost no more
time, but seizing a boot. smashed every
pane; and the sufferer Immediately ex-
perienced great relief "Oh, thank you
thousand thanks. "Haw he exclaimed,
drawing deep sighs which testified to the
great comfort he derived; 81 think in an
other moment L should have been deadr'
And when he had sufficiently recovered
and had expressed his heartfelt graft
tude, he described the intense distress of
| those attacks and the length of time he
had suffered from them. After while
both fell asleep again devoutly thankful
for the result. 1t was warm summer
night and they felt no Inconvenience
from the broken window; but when day-
light relieved the pitchy darkness of the
night the window was found to be still
entire! Had invisible GLACIERS been at
work already, or was the episode of the
past night only dream? No; for the
| floor was still strewn with the broken
glass. Then, as they looked round the
| room IN amazement, the solution of the
mystery presented itself in the shape of
an antiquated bookcase, whose htticed
glass doors were shattered wreck. The
spasmodically attacked one was cured
from that moment. So much for imagina-

BERLIN's SEWERAGE. = Berlin has
the sewerage system in successful use at
Dantzic, under which the city is divided
into sewer districts leading to points
about the border OF the city where,
the sewer contents are pumped out,
mixed with water and spread over a
sandy soil which absorbs all the delete
rious matters, water reasonably pure
being drained off. AS necessary part
OF the system, each house is directly
connected with the sewers and a plehti-
full supply of water is used to flush the
sewers and house drains. At Dantzic a
field of 400 acres of sandy soil is large
enough to purify the sewage of town
OF 10000 inhabitants. Since the adop.
ton OF this system, which, it will be OBJ
served, does away with the poplution of
river and streams, the death rate of
Dantzic has dropped from SO per 1000 to
Is; the annual cost of pumping the sew
age, the only point at which the system
Is more costly than ordinary sewers, is
