The Return Of a Friend From Mexico ! Pleasant Visit-AlsO Another Pleasant | Occasion.
 | A correspondent says: A pleasant affair
 in the way of presentation took place last Wednesday evening at the residence of Mir. I Chas. Warehouse on Park Place. The occa- sion was the return of Mrs. Warehouse | from visit to the city of Mexico, where she
 has been spending the winter. The ladies of
 the Universalist Workers Mission on Broad
 way, of which she is the president, gathered | in large numbers at her house. After tea had | been served to two successive tables, they re- paired to the parlors, when the presentation | took place. Mrs. Drew, the secretary, after few well chosen words of welcome, called l attention to large basket filled with presents
 from the ladies. Mrs. Warehouse, the pres- l ident, responded at length with mulch feel ing and emotion. Mrs. John Barber then read poem of welcome, which she had written for the occasion. The remainder of the evening was spent in listening to charming and instructive account of the strange sights and habits of comparatively unknown people and country. At the close of the evenings entertainment each one on retiring was presented by this gifted lady
 WIGn some cur1OSlIy WHICH Bne nao brought home from the City of Mexico. It was an agreeable surprise and presentation all around.

It was complete surprise to MT. Converse, who rallying responded with fitting remarks. The occasion afforded much pleasure to all.

Annexation.

Am Unexpected DEscovery-selectmen in
 Counctl-RIr. Reynolds Return From
 Hartford.
 The Board of Selectmen held 8 meeting last evening. During the evening Mir. Key holds returned from Hartford, where he had been with reference to the annexation ques- ton and other matters, bringing the unex- pected information that the printed bill be- fore the Legislature, with regard to the pro- posed annexation of a part of East Haven to New Haven, was not what had been agreed upon between the Selectmen of the two towns, the boundary line having been chang cd and not the same that the two boards had fixed upon. The boards had agreed upon a Haven, but the printed bill gives the creek 8 short distance from the old Light as the line. The new line would cut of considerable part of the frontage on the Sound that New Haven had bargained for. The northern boundary line had been changed also, leaving less to come to New Haven than had been agreed upon. The Board did not attribute the alteration to any want of courtesy or in- tent to be unfair, but to some exigency W01cn QAQ 1nuueQc6Q SuCQ an dlC0rdtlOu The Board discussed the matter, and after re- marks by Messrs. Hart, Andrew, Feldman, Cooper, Hugo and the Town Agent, Messrs. Hart, Reynolds and Andrew were appointed a committee with power to act on the ques- tion after consultation with counsel.
 The following regular matters were dis, posed of: The matter of appointing an ad- ditional physician for care of the outside poor was indefinitely postponed.
 A petition was received from Town Clerk ShusteE, signed by prominent conveyancerE and other citizens, setting forth that Vol. l of the town records was so much time worr as to be in danger of being partially obliter ated. It was voted that the matter be suita ply remedied by Messrs. Andrew, Hart anG Hugo, committee.
 Petition of MT. Mannix for action with re gard to division fence referred to Cooper and Feldman.
 MT. Reynolds reported favorable action by the Senate on the harbor line bill, and alsC that the bill on annexation would be acted upon by the Legislature to-day.

that after the goose had thoroughly satisfied her own appetite she would pick up an ear of corn and fly away. Greatly interested by the queer conduct of the bird, the farmer one morning watched the direction of it's flight It was but a short distance to the river, and he noticed that, after circling, the goose dropped, apparently into the river. Going down the bank he discovered his visitor standing by a companion who was lying on the ground and feeding on the ear of corn.
 In order to understand this restaurant pro-
 ject, he walked up to the feeder and found
 that it had been so disabled that it could neither walk or fly. Without disturbing il
 he returned, and morning after morning
 watched the generous goose carry away an ear of corn Finally the visits ceased, but shortly afterwards the sick gander himself | waddled into the camp and gobbled up the corn himself. He has remained all winter | and the indications are that he has made uI | his mind to settle down and go to house keeping.
