Several new houses are to be erected next spring. MT. Brinkerhof will build a two story frame house for his own use, on Clin- ton avenue near the Parks.
 Two are to be erected on Grapevine Point. Michael Scanlan, who is with George H. Close, the carriage maker on East Chapel street, will erect one of these for himself, and Mir Johnson, whose business is at BeRe Dock for the railroad company, the other.
 That fine site for fine residences, Fair Haven Heights, promises to be adorned with another of that class before 1881 passes by, with the resider oe which Mr. Henry O. Rowe contemplates building on the tract which he purchased short time ago at the south end of the Heights.
 Preparation.is being made for grand cele- bration of the second anniversary of the founding of the mission which vorships in the chapel on Clinton avenue. The affair will take place on Saturday, February 18th, and no doubt the little place of worship will be crowded to overfowing. The services each Sunday draw out throngs from all that vicin- ity.

The saIarfesofJ,dg.s

Judge Harrison, of Guilford, introduced a bill in the House, Thursday, providing that the salary of chief justices of the Supreme Court hereafter appointed shall be $4, ,5O0. The bill also provides that the clerks of the Superior and Supreme Courts shall tax in the travelling expenses of the judges in the bill of costs. The bill introduced by John M. Hall, several days ago, prohibiting the judges of the Superior Courts from sitting as com mittees in civil causes, also provides that the salaries of the judges shall be $4 800. There is evidently tendency in the Legislature towards increasing the judges salaries. Both of tLe bills in question will be acted on by the Judiciary committee, and an important hearing is expected on the measure prohibit ing the judge from sitting on committees.

The Ice Storm.

H 4 More Weather-Floods of Water-Upsets
 and Tumbles-Telegraph Communities
 tion With New York Broken.
 The weather programme yesterday consist ed of a storm of snow, hail and rain, accom- panied by a freezing temperature part of the time. Ice-clogged gutters and overhowed pavements and cellars increased the interest, while the glare of ice on the pavements ne- cessitated the utmost watchfulness and wari- ness with pedestrians. Three ladies slipped and fell on the treacherous walk at the corner of Chapel and Church streets in rapid sue cession, and people slipped up and fell too numerous to mention. One melancholy in dividual, partially inebriated and carrying an umbrella which the wind had wrecked, tot tered and fell on State street, and wrecked umbrellas were common.
 Street Inspector Doyle had all the men he could get in service cutting gutters and drains to help carry of the surplus water through the sewers, and the business was brisk. Merchants and clerks were out shoveling and cutting gutters to save their cellars from an overflow. On Wooster street man was to be seen emerging from his basement every minute with pail of water, evidently having an overflow on his premises. Several store cellars narrowly escaped flooding The telegraph wires were loaded with ice and at noon communication between this city and New York ceased, the wires below Mt. Vernon being broken down, and thereafter messages were sent to New York by messen- gers on the various trains. Communication with Boston was unbroken Over 1 BOO dis patches were thus sent between noon and six P. m. large gang of line repairers was at work all the afternoon.
 Telegraphic communication with New York by all the wires was interrupted and up to late hour last evening the repairs had not been effected, owing to the extent of the difficulty on hand Communication between rupted.
 The Naugatuck correspondent of the Amer icG7e says:
 'tIt is 24 years ago this month since oc- cured the terrible Sunday night gale and snow storm which caused a total suppression of overland traffic for several days all over this section of the country. Immense dam age was done on land and sea, church spires all over the country were blown down and hundreds of costly buildings were destroyed 1; mercury at the time and for five days after wards indicated from to 30 degrees below zero. That storm occurred on the 18th of January, 1857. To-days storm came on with astonishing rapidity. The fore part of the night and, in fact, up to considerable past midnight was bright and clear. For 8 time this forenoon there were strong indica-
 ions that one of the old style of snow storms was medltatlng descent upon us.
