Fully 900 Tickets For the Ch1ldren'a Ex-

 s'Pass out your tickets" These and many other requests of 8 similar nature were ring ing in the ears of Town Agent Reynolds and of Clerk Geary all day yesterday. W0rd had gone forth that the tickets for the ehiIdren's excursion were to be given away to all who applied at the Town Agents office yesterday. and the news had spread from urchin to ur- chin, from tenement to tenement, until ap- parently the whole town knew that there was to be grand chiIdren's frolic, terrible on- slaught on the fresh air in the neighborhood of the Sound, and particularly Pot Island, and that every young man and woman that was old enough to navigate could participate in this grand revel in the pure, uncontami mated compound of oxygen and nitrogen, and if so disposed in the water that Iaves the shores of Pot Island Newsboys boot blacks, pond lily vendors and swarthy-faced kids representing every class of youthful industry and idleness poured into the office at City Hall and took away all the tickets they could get. Some went early and often in imitation of the habits and customs of certain classes of voters. Mir. Geary questioned them all closely and in many cases the children proved to belong to well to-do citizens of the city, so that even the poor children's excursion will have some to add tone to it. But as general thing just the classes of children went that the commit tee intended to breach; those who probably have never seen the Sound beyond the new light, who have known nothing of the pure air and green shores of Pot Island or any other island, those who have been confined to mar row streets and overloaded, overcrowded houses, and whose parents are not able to leave their business for few weeks vacation in the summer. On Monday the members of the committee will begin distributing tickets. Monday evening the committee meets at Peck's Grand Opera House. The principals of the city schools are invited to be present. Clerk Geary estimated that 900 tickets were distributed yesterday. This is pretty good days work.

A Great Melon Season.

A BOUm in the CrOp-The GSrecn Meated CItrOns-Mr. F. H. TOdd's Melon Farm in North Haven.
 The present is great melon season in this
 county and throughout the State generally,
 and very favorable reports of the crop from
 different parts of the country are received.
 melon raiser of note hereabouts is Mr. F.
 H. Todd, of North Haven, whose farm is OF
 the Fair Haven road, about half mile below the churches. His melons find ready sale and are in much demand, being among the very best that are raised anywhere in the n2tmeg State. Just now is tho season for the meated citron melons which are so supe- rior in quality and far ahead of the old muskmelon in toothsomeness and excellent flavor. The green meated citron melons are
 not to be confounded with the citron melons
 commonly known the melons which
 the ''gude housewife" preserves. MT. Todd
 raises the former kind in large. numbers
 MT. Todd's father, hale old gentleman of 83, and long prominently identified with melon raising in North Haven, as many of our citizens are aware in fact having been in the business all his life, visits this city often in the melon season in connection with the disposal of the products of the farm,-both citrons and watermelons. Also his grand sons, sons of MT. F. H. Todd, are engaged in the business MT. Todd has about three quarters of an acre devoted solely to raising the green meated citron melons, and much care and watchfulness and the knowledge gained by a careful and long study of the habits and proclivities of the melons render him an expert in the business. Some seasons the } ield is poor, do as one may, as the melons are peculiarly subject to ill fortune unless the weather is very suitable. The cit rons have to bo picked just at the right time, as in few hours after they become ripe their quality begins to deteriorate. For in stance, several barrels of melons are picked in the morning and by afternoon enough more three barrels more, and these must be picked at once, as if allowed to stay on the vines till morning they are not quite as perfect in flavor. Sometimes, to meet't the demand, the melons are picked short time before the point of full ripeness is attained and with careful keeping they will remain in excellent order for the market Some of the green meated citron melons raised by the Messrs. Todd are of enormous size for this branch of nature's production, they frequently raising some that weigh as high as fourteen pounds apiece. It was twenty years ago that they began raising this variety of melons and the green meRted melons, as soon as their merits began to be known, commanded @ premium over the old variety which had been popular ly known as the muskmelon. Mr. E. H. Todd is an ex-member of the legislature, hay ing served his town in the lower house with much credit.

 Hardy was immediately summoned. He takes turns as night watchman in the lower cabin. He said that during the night a stranger came in with ticket for berth 71 and occupied it. Upon ilquiring of Clerk Hedges Mir. ParmeIee learned that no ticket for II had been issued that night. Where upon Hardy, upon being again questioned, said that he was at the upper end of the cabin when a man came in who said he had g ticket for II, but refused to show it, so Hardy allowed him to sleep there.
