While the railroad property Of the b. &

The surf was breaking hard The men from the ife-saving station at the Gurnet were on the shore when the vessel struck, and line was made fast to a board and thrown overheard. The surfmen of the station went into the water up to their necks at great risk and secured the line and made it fast on the beach, and the captain and crew succeeded in reaching the shore The schooner is an old vessel.

West Haven,

The Easter services at the Episcopal church Sunday were very interesting. The first service was held at 6:3O a. m The choir was in attendance, Cyrus Futile leading, with Miss Lottie Thomas presiding at the organ. At 1O:3O the rector, Rev. E. W. Warrington. preached a very able Easter sermon, and there was very large attendance. A fine collection of cut flowers was to be seen about the chancel. In the font was large pyramid of flowers with a Greek cross surm bunting it, which was present from Mrs. Wadhams' Sabbath school class The choir sang finely during the service. The Sunday school was held in the afternoon at three o'clock, Col E. E. Bradley superintendent. Besides their usual recitations they sang Easter carols, and their Easter offerings for foreign missions amount ed to $35. The church is the oldest in the State.
 Mr. Benjamin Johnson, who was formerly drug clerk for Dr. Shepard, but now in the drug business for himself in Deep River, has succeeded in building up large and lu- crative business.
 Major Hendricks, who has been residing in the Gill place, on Second avenue, moved in to this city Monday.
 Joseph Andrews, Esq, who resides on Washington avenue, returned from Austin, Texas, last week, where he went last fall and where he has been experimenting the car penter work on university for colored peo- pie. He accompanied Rev. W. E. Brooks, who was appointed to take charge of the uni versity. He speaks very highly of the insti- tuition. It is one of the best in the State and the best governed. He also speaks very high ly of the treatment Mir. Brooks and himself received there from all classes of society. They were invited to the Governors recep tions. He found no signs of sectional feel ing or hatred toward northerners who reside there. One can go there and settle and be sure of good treatment and mingle in good socie- ty if they will behave as citizens should. The weather was very warm there before he left. The thermometer stood during the middle of the day 9O0 in the shade and 120o in the. sun, but the heat is not felt there much may be imagined. The air is dry and bracing. They have been feasting on strawberries, green peas and other early fruits and vegetables all the spring. He also says that the houses are built in different style, mostly one story and half, with large double doors both in front and back, and broad hall running through, to give access to the cool breeze. MT. Brooks is an excellent teacher and he is well liked by his pupils, in fact by all classes. He has made great many friends since he hls been there. Both he and his family are enjoying good health. There are several former New Haven residents settled there, among them Dr. Stoddard, the dentist, and Mrs. Bethell, widow of A. J. Bethell, who kept jewelry store on Chapel street.
