Tha Oyster Com

The oyster commission were in session at their room in Insurance building yesterday and received an application from Charles w. Raymond, of Darien, for sixty acres of eys- ter ground in the town of Darien. An objec- tion was made by residents of the town that the land applied for is natural bed The hearing on the matter is set down for Sep tember 25 at il 8. m. in the commissioners office.
 The oyster firm of Hoyt & Ford, of Green wich, have applied for 100 acres of ground of Greenwich, but objection has been made to the application, the objectors claiming that it is natural bed The hearing in this case will be held in this city October st II a. m
 The application of F. P. Norman, of Bridgeport, for 100 acres in the town of Bridgeport was rejected by the commission CTS because the land applied for is situated in 8 part of the Bridgeport oyster grounds known as '"lhe Dumps," and which is natu- ral oyster ground.
 The commissioners also fixed the lines of the natural oyster bed off Stratford and Bridgeport. The new line cuts off about 40 acres of oyster property owned by H. J.. Lewis of Meriden, G2 acres of Henry C.. Rowe's ground and about IS acres from property owned by $. A. Patterson, of Strat- ford. Townsend & Hoyt, of this city, lose about six acres. By the decision the bed will include that oyster property in Bridgeport called ''The Dumps," and there will be twice as much land for the oystermen to work on as heretofore.

Adams Express company. Mir. Sanford was made one of the directors of the new con- pany, and continued to act as it's general agent in Philadelphia until 1860, when he was made general superintendent of all the routes of the Adams Express company. MT. Sanford was also one of the directors of the old American Telegraph company, and in 1860 was it's president. Upon the breaking out of the war, Secretary of War Stanton rendered him the position of supervisor of military telegraphs, an appointment which he at first declined, but finally was induced to accept at the earnest solicitation of President Lincoln, who was one of his most intimate friends. He served the government in this capacity, with the rank and pay of colonel until the close of the war. In 1866 he came to this city and was elected vice president of the Adams Express company, a position which he held continu- ously until the time of his death. In the meantime, when the American Telegraph con- pany was merged into the Western Union, MT. Sanford was made director of the latter company, and continued director until his death yesterday.
 Mir. Sanford was noted as 8 very energetic and perseverlng business man, of marked executive ability, and much of the success which has attended the career of the Adams Express company is to be attributed to his management of the business general su- perintendent and vice president. He was very reSolute Tn all hlS business transactions, and man of great nerve. Of late years he had not been so active in business affairs, his lameness causing him to relax somewhat o1 his former strict attention to business, but he had a general supervision over the affairs of the company, and no movement of impor- tance was made without consulting him. Hs was man of 8 very social disposition, and acquired a host of friends during his life. He was the only one of the three commissioners to select site for the new Federal building in Brooklyn that Secretary Folger had ye' selected

Work Ahead,

The Board of Associated Charities, AZ Court street, have just received four car loads of wood from Cheshire. It has al ways been the aim of this association in its work department to keep good stock of cord wood on hand to furnish work at mo ment's notice to men sent to the office. For over four years has the work continued, and to day the Board request and urge any house holder in the city to send to them any man who may apply at their door for money, food or clothing. The ''labor test'' has proven g success, and is becoming better understood every day, and the wish of the Board is that all citizens will absolutely refuse to give assistance to strangers at their doors, but refer them all to the Central office that they may earn their living instead of begging it for we are persuaded it is the ''work test'' that converts the lazy mendicant into g self-supporting citizen. The Board have at present on hand some fifteen or twenty cords of dry kindling wood in excellent condition to be stored away for winter use. Orders re- ceived by postal or otherwise from any per son in the city will be promptly filled at reg ular market rates. All the profits after de. fraying the necessary expense connected with the care and delivery of the wood is gwen to the working man who is employed in the wood yard. And soon as the pres ent stock of kindling wood is disposed of ii will make room for other applicants to pro- duce more.

One of the sons was 8 highly respectable merchant, and American consul for many years at one of the British West India Islands. Another son was the father of President Hayes. The daughters were all we'll married and have many descendants. Of the brothers and sisters of Mrs. Bancroft, only one sister sur- wives, Mrs. Clarissa Moody at Fremont, Ohio, 91 years old.

A Whole Family ProStrafed

On Saturday morning, about a. m., the house owned by George Spaulding situated in Woodstock, about half mile north from Woodstock Hill, was struck by lightning and almost entirely demolished. The family who occupied the premises, named Hosmer, were eating breakfast at the time. They were thrown violently to the floor, but none of them were seriously injured. An ash tree standing in front of the house received the bolt first, and was torn into splinters.

 Fire That Escaped Attention.
 Down a remote and secluded lane which turns off quarter of mile beyond MT. Amos E. Cobb's on Prospect Hill, Norwich town, there stood until recently house and barn belonging to NIr. c. w. Chapel, of Otis street. With the small farm on which they stood they have at times been rented, but this year were vacant. A few days ago, having occasion to pick some cucumbers up there, MT. Chapel drove thither, and found to his astonishment only heaps of ashes where the house and barn had been. Inquiry failed to discover anyone who had seen the flames. and it was therefore impossible to tell how long time had elapsed since the destruction of the property. As no one lives very near to the place this fact is not very remarkable, perhaps. Suspicious rest upon late employe of Mr. Chapel as the incen. diary,
