 After the adjournment of the meeting of the district stewards, held at the East Pearl street Methodist church Wednesday last, the parlors of the church, which the ladies con. nected with the society had specially pre- pared for them. The supper was splendidly gotten up and the tables fairly groaned be- meath the weight of the eatables placed thereon.
 Those who own oyster lots inside of the new lighthouse in the locality where the breakwater is now being built say that it will spoil some of the best oyster ground that there is, and as far as the breakwater has been laid the mud has commenced settling each side some distance, and in some places 8 foot deep. It has already destroyed great many of the oysters on those beds. The owners feel quite indignant and wish the breakwater and it's projectors were somewhere else and say that it will be no benefit to New Haven harbor in any way whatever, and that those who were so strongly in favor of it will before long see the error of building it where it is.
 The sale and supper given by the ladies connected with Grace church in the vacant store opposite the postofice on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings was fully attended. The sales each evening were con- siderably larger than was anticipated. The society will realize quite nice sum of money from the sale and the ladies feel elated over the result

 Almost everybody is finding fault with the weather we have.' The oystermen, both the planters and those that dredge oysters, com plain of the rough winds and heavy sea that prevail so that it is impossible to plant or catch oysters with any ease. The farmers are grumbling on account of the cold weath- CT and the big frosts that come about every night The ladies that have cleaned their houses and stored the stoves away for the season are signing on account of the cold weather and VOW they will never clean house so soon again. In fact all are longing for the beautiful beautiful spring that the poets write about.
