A correspondent says fruit stealing and the
 running at large of spavined horses and half
 starved heifers and goats have come to be in- 1 tolerable nuisances to respectable property f owners in Fair Haven. It seems to be i'm
 possible to abate these practices which four ! ish in spite of the police and Of occasional | costly lawsuits. On Tuesday last the case of the State vs. William Baker made on com plaint of N. $. English of Ferry street, was settled in the Superior Court at an expense of about sixty dollars to the defendant, who
 was in the habit the past summer of pastur ing three worthless old horses on the public streets. It IS case which ought to convince lawless owners of stock within the city limits that it is rather costly
 risk to get free pasturage out of the public highways. One day last week MT. John G. Futile, who occupies the MaItby place on
 East Grand street, impounded two heifers and three goats for trespass on his premises.
 During his absence at noon the owner of the heifers forcibly entered his COW stable through a window, broke the door-lock and
 recaptured the stock The criminal law seems to be both greatly misunderstood and
 wantonly defied. The forcible recapture of arrested animals is an offence which makes
 the guilty party just as liable to punishment as entering house and carrying off the sill
 yer spoons. No person has right to allow the animals which he owns to run at large on the streets, and owners of property are not obliged to erect fences to keep them out. It is high time for the police authorities to make some special examples of those who in- sist on making nuisance of their neighbor- hood
 The scene of Saturday nights fire was vis- tied by hundreds of people yesterday who, during their afternoon stroll, took occasion to go that way out of curiosity. The urchins, of which there are not few in that vicinity, enjoyed themselves to their hearts content in rolling around large iron pipes filled with gravel and stones, which made chatter enough to suit the average small boy, but which was very annoying to the neighbors whereabouts.
 Rev. Mir. Phillips, of Yale Theological seminary, preached at the Union mission on Middletown avenue last evening There was large attendance. The mission has made purchase of lot on Middletown avenue next to the leased lot on which the chapel stands, and will probably this fall move the chapel upon the new lot. It is on the corner of Pawn street, the street leading down to the round house of the Air Line railroad, and was purchased of Mir. Atwater, of whom the l land occupied by the chapel was leased MT: | Atwater gave of 8 reduction of $3 per foot, selling it for SIP on account of the object, l and sold it on easy terms of payment The Mission people pay current expenses and | have little left over, and hope to pay $50 l or $1OO year on the lot.
