 Some of our horse fanciers were intending to be in New York city yesterday to attend
 the great auction sale of thoroughbred and
 fancy stock, but owing to the stormy and
 disagreeable weather they did not go. At the convocation of Pulaski Chapter No. 26, R. A. M., on Wednesday evening, four brother mark masters were received and &C.,
 knowledged as most excellent masters. Those who attended the play on Wednes- day evening do not criticise Mrs. Langtry very harshly.. They say she is pretty look ing, very modest in her manner, acting her part fairly, but not perfect actress or the handsomest lady in their way of thinking. The funeral of Mrs. Julien F. Wade will take place from her late residence on Union street this afternoon at half past two o'clock. The oyster seed trade continues to be quite lively, there being plenty of seed offered for sale. First class stock is in good demand and brings good prices.
 The brick and stone wall under the east end of Rowe and Hemingway's block, on the sluiceway, gave way the other night and will le,ra IoA lnv-, I>1R1 1,,ol
 to good condition again. Posts were placed under the barber shop and bridge to keep them up while the wall is being rebuilt.
 Two oyster boats finished unloading in the
 harbor yesterday. The schooners Lavinia Bell and Evergreen were reported this side of Hell Gate yesterday and will probably be on the oyster grounds this morning. The
 schooners Lotta Bell and Willow Harp have
 left Chesapeake Bay for this place, loaded with bivalves The head and light winds that
 have prevailed lately made.the time on the
 trips, coming this way, much longer than the captains of the boats and the owners of the cargoes anticipated or desired.
 New Haven County Medical Society. The meeting of tho New Haven Couaty Medical society in Waterbury opened yes terday at noon at the Scoville House. The American, after experimenting the physique of the doctors, says: The meeting opened with Dr. M. N. Chamberlain, president of the society in the chair, by the reading of the report of the secretary, Dr. w. H. Holmes. This report showed that pr. Holmes has been instrumental in reducing l the financial matters of the association to al ! most the point of balancing and the society 1 wanted to retain him as it transpired that his | term of office had not nearly ended but the ! doctor felt that he had had glory enough \ in that posit ion and rendered his resig ! nation. After some hesitation and 8 good deal of electric practice on language \ the resignation was accepted. After ! the reading of the secretary's report, which was accepted (with the exception of one clause which was tabled), the names of Dr. ! Rodman, of this city, and Dr. W. K. Rob 1 erts, of New Haven, were presented as being men eligible to belong to the society. A l slight quibble was raised as to whether Dr. | Rodmaa was in full communion with the l allopathic school It was soon shown, how I ever, that he had made open profession, shown good evidence of the faith that was in him and hence was entitled to aught that al lopathy could bestow. The meeting voted [ by ballot and the two candidates were I elected to membership. It was shown that | no deaths had occurred during the | \ of the committee on public hygiene was pre- ] sented in brief by Dr. Bartlett of New Haven, ! Dr. 0. A. Iindsley, chairman, being absent. ! The startling fact was now promulgated that by recent change in the college charter the State Medical society has no legal existence,
 and there arose discussion as to the feasi-
 bility of offering resolution to the present Legislature for the insertion of healing clause into the defective charter. It was 1 finally decided to await the State meeting in June, the society to continue formerly. Now came up the question for discussion, ''The Treatment of Intermittent Fevers in | all Forms Dr. N1 c.
