A Fatal Bath.
Mother and Daughter Drowned.

Mother Ind Daughter Drowned.
 Mrs. Justine Stillman, wife of Ensign Stillman, of Southington, went on 8 visit to her daughter Ida, wife of Charles French, who lives near the boundary line between Colebrook and Sandisfield, Mass. On Thurs day afternoon, the Sth inst, she proposed to take ramble through the woods and bathe in the waters of Simon's pond about one half mile distant from the house. Pleasant indeed seemed the family reunion as accom- panied by her three daughters she reached the shores of the pond and stepped into the water; but short distance from the beach she stepped into deep hole and called for aid. Ida, the eldest daughter, sprang to rescue her drowning mother She stretched out her hand which was grasped by the dying woman and with her other arm encircled the neck of the girl, causing her to drop into the water under the weight. The struggle of the drowning wo- men was agonizing to the little girls who stood on the shore. Their screams for assist ance were heard by Mir. Stillman half mile distant, who hastened to the place too late, to only look upon the ifeless form of loving mother and affectionate daughter upon the bottom of the pond. Although only thirty minutes had passed life was extinct, and all efforts to resuscitate were unsuccessful. The funeral took place at the Methodist church in Co1ebrook River on the afternoon of Satur- day, the 10th inst. Rev. MT. Palmer, of Winsted, conducted the services in an i'm pressive manner to a very large and sad con- gregation. Great numbers of friends and relatives from Southington, New Hartford, Pleasant Valley and other places attended the last sad rites. Mrs. Stillman was only 40 years of age, while her daughter, 19 years of age, was only married last Thanksgiving E4nrtf0rd Ii1nes

College Again.

ExaminatIons-Resum of Work To-
 Long Vacation.
 Examinations were in progress yesterday and will be to-day again for admission into the academic and scientific departments of Yale respectively. The list embraced both new applicants and those conditioned in for mer examinations. Tomorrow college re- opens and the voice of the freshman will be heard in the land. Considerable improvement has been made during vacation. Several of the old buildings have been doctored and are
 ''as good as new," only a little less so. The
 sewerage system of the college grounds has
 been greatly improved by the substitution of
 the new plan and the sanitary conditions are the very best. The handsome new library
 building, Theological department, is nearly completed, and is justly much admired as a
 fine companion structure to the Marquand chapel. The two handsomely fill the gap be- tween the main buildings which once existed, while the idea is suggested that all the build ings were architecturally planned whole at the start, so well do they match. The Theological department buildings suggest g happy general plan carried into effect. In the medical college the classes open next month. In the meantime considerable in the way of improvement is going forward in the changing of laboratories and the erec- tion of new ones and in other work.

Mention was made last week that Mir. o. B. North had ordered 8 specimen of the new pavement to be laid as driveway crossing the sidewalk at his house This pavement is now completed, and presents an even and durable surface. The blocks are precisely the same as are designed to be laid in the highway. The space covered is only 10 by 12 feet square, and yet the blocks weigh 7,2O0 pounds, almost four tons. Where there is so much weight it would seem as if there must be durability. It is pleasant to the feet of the pedestrian, and therefore must be favorable for horses The crown required for driveway was carefully adjusted by Ma jor Maher, and appears to be the best speci- men of this kind of work we have seen In short it would seem that there were good reasons why Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, Coney Island hotels, Providence, New port, &c.. &c., have adopted this pavement for streets. sidewalks, cellars and stables It is understood that Mr. Moves is making ar- engagements to introduce it extensively in this State

:TanDie Cramer,s Fnte,

The hearing in the Malley cases will be re- sumed this morning at 10 o'clock in West Haven The State has been busy the last few days with regard to various points. One was the attempt to trace the purchase of the arsenic found in Jennie Cramer's stomach. Last Saturday Attorney 0. K. Bush and At torney Bollman went from this city to Mil ford, about eight miles distant, and about four from the West Haven shore. They wis., tied s. T. Bucks drug store and inquired whether arsenic was sold by him to James MalIey, jr., or anyone else, on the night of Friday August 5. Buck was fellow school mate of James Malley, jr., at Russelrs school in this city, but it was found he did not rec ollect him, as he was younger pupil. The report was that team was seen to stop at Druggist Bucks store in Milford that fatal Friday night. It was two-horse team and there were two ladies and two gentlemen in it, and they had soda water. The report was found to be of no consequence. Such a team was seen, but whether it was that Friday night or some other night no one knew, and the parties had strawberry cream in their soda water about 7:3O in the evening. So it was & fruitless errand.

She had started 8 number of weeks ago with her husband for the Adirondacks, in the hope that the brac- ing Adirondack air would improve her shat tered health, but on arrival at Saratoga she was unable to proceed further, and death at last ensued. Deceased will be much mourned by many friends. One writes of her tfShe was person of rare loveliness of character. How beautiful was the love which she showed for her friends while she was on that bed of sufferingI How beautiful also was her trust in her Saviour And how sweet was the smile which the departing spirit left on her Ecountenance !''
 The deceased was a daughter of Henry Munson, Esq, of Hamden. She leaves also two brothers and sister. The afflicted cir cle of husband, father and other relatives have the kind sympathies of many.

Important Military Event.
The Providence Light Inhantry of EhOe
 

The Providence Light Infhntry of Rhode
 Military matters are quiet again since Nian- tic, but there will be an occasion of much interest next month, as arrangements have been consummated by the Providence Light Infantry, 200 strong, for visit to this city. They will be here Wednesday and Thursday, Oct. 5 and 6, and will meet with most spir- tied and hearty welcome and reception. It will be remembered that three years ago, on the return of the Second regiment from Bun- ker Hill, the Providence Light Infantry re- ceived and entertained the regiment in a most handsome manner, leaving most pleasant recolleotions, which are still warmly cher- ished. The city companies of the Second will receive the guests. together, as is now probable, with the Meriden, Middletown and Wallingford companies of the regiment. The officers will be quartered at the Elliott House l and the men at the Union Armory. The de- tails are not yet settled, but grand clam bake at Savin Rock is mentioned as likely to form feature of the programme of the sec- ond day.

vtsitor,s Good Impression.

A correspondent of the Brooklyn Eagle, who visited the eneampment at Mantle last week, was greatly impressed by the fine showing made by the citizen soldiery of this State. He writes:
 The State of New York is proud of her Ma tional Guard, and justly so. But could the officers and soldiers constituting her military force but look in upon Camp Bigelow." " as the 1881 week under canvas of the Connecti- cut brigade is designated, it would take little time to convince them that in the matter of education in the practical details of the duty of soldier, the National Guard of Connec- ticut is far in advance of that of the Empire State. Taking everything together, or one consideration with another, and judging the organization by one general standard, the brigade of Connecticut National Guard, in proficiency and effectiveness, would be very difficult to excel

vanderb1lt's oner in Greenwich.

It is rumored that MT. William H. Wander biIt has offered $15O, 900 for piece of land in Greenwich known as Field Point, in all about 200 acres This spot is directly oppo- site the old Americus club house of Tweed fame. Probably there is no site on the Con- necticut shore which commands more ex- tensive view of Long Island Sound, or is bet ter adapted for seaside residence or large hotel than this tract of land. It is said that William M Tweed offered $1, 900 an acre for the 200 acres, and a gentleman living in Portchester said he would give $15,00o for one acre. It is owned by wealthy farmer, who, it is thought from his refusing these of fers, would not sell the property at any price. peculiarity of the town is that the land is held at high figures. few families own a great many acres, and there is sort of fam ily pride in Keeping it and handing it down to their descendants. Most of this property is taxed at farm rates. Tweed paid $75, GOO for small piece of land in the village. Prob ably there is no town or city in the State where land is held so high.

It has for so long time been difficult to find safe and fair paying investment for money that New Haven is to be congratu- lated on what surely indicates stability in real estate values again. We refer to the steady demand for rents. Builders can take courage once more, for there is no doubt we are on the edge of boom. The offering of the Hoadley estate on Water street at auction in fair sized lots proves the confidence of the owners in their ability to realize good prices, and no doubt the purchasers of this central property will find handsome ad. vance in the next few years.
