Fafc Haven.
 George N. Thompson, who has been West for several months, is here for short visit He expects to go back again ere long.
 John NJ. Rowe, who for some time past has been with Montgomery, the groceryman corner of East Grand and East Pearl streets, left Saturday last, and commences an en- gagement to day with grocery store on the east side.
 The business men and most of those living on the East side quite indignant at the slow work done on the sluiceway. It has been nearly six weeks since tho work was commenced, and from the way it has pro gressed there is no telling when it will be completed There will probably have to be ia future probation" for some folks if they don't hurry up. The work should not have taken over two weeks in all. So long a | hindrance on one of the principal streets is claimed to be an injustice to the people in the Fourteenth ward.
 The woods and fields over beyond the l Heights were full of ramblers yesterday, out | enjoying the beautiful fall weather, and only now and then was any pillagiDg done. l Several of our people visited Guilford last | Friday on the occasion of the annual cattle l show and fair, and report good show and a 1 nice time.
 l Charles, aged thirteen years and two | months, eldest son of MT. and Mrs. Charles 1 c. Beach, was buried in the East Haven cem- l etery yesterday afternoon. The funeral ceremonies were held at the residence of the l childs grandfather, Mir. James PowelTs, on | Centre street, at P m., theRev Dr. William I H. Vibbert officiating.
 The coffee party at Central Hall on Friday and Saturday evenings under the auspices of l the Fair Haven Literary association was l largely attended. The entertainment will be continued this evening.
 l Postmaster William Moore and wife start | to-day for vacation for week or more ! They will visit for few days with MT. and M s. E. W. Brainard in Glastonbury. Dur l ing Mir. Moores absence Assistant Eugene Smith will have charge of the postoffice.
 John J. Dayton, so long connected with | the Adams Express company, running lately
 between Springfield, Mass, and New YorA
 city, has resigned his position on account oi
 his health not being able to do the work re
 quired. Mr. Dayton proposes to go into
 some business where his labors will be less
 taxing
 l Nearly year ago petition was presented | to the proper officials for the removal of the
 spiles between the piers under Tomliasont
 bridge, and the request was acted upor | favorably by vote of the board, but ac l tion was taken toward removing the spiles l and the matter, as far as the officials are l concerned, seems to have died out. The
 boatmen, however, and those who have oc
 casion to pass up and down the river ir
 boats, feel deeply grieved to think that the | board did not order the sluiceways under the
 bridge cleared out, it is now very la
 borious work, and almost impossible at times
 to get through under the bridge. There if
 only one passageway, and that is where the
 bridge is drawn off for the larger vessels tc
 pass through. The oystermen and boatmer
 are considerably exercised over the subject
 and declare that something about the re-
 moval of the spiles should be done
 Charles Thomson visited Saturday and l Sunday with his fathers people, Dr. c. $.
 Thomson MT. Thomson is the first office,
 of the large ship City of Philadelphia, Capt

 1880, going to Liverpool, Eng thence to the coast of Africa, then to Calcutta, then direct l home, making the passage in one hundred and thirty three days. The good ship sails l again shortly on another long voyage. This I time the cargo is chartered for Japan. MT. 1 Thomson is in the best of health and was glad l to get in his native place even if for few 1 days only.
