Borough ImprOvements-The Election Of
 NIT. Ayres-The New Vessel.
 MT. George w. H. Hughes has just erected nhis lawn three handsome pieces of statuary from the celebrated Motts works in New York. A correspondent says: stMr. H. thinks the borough officials should see to it that there be sidewalk made on both sides of Main street from the Green extending south west, for the beauty as we'll as the conven- fence of the thing, and it is something that must be done sometime. There can be no excuse for delay. except the matter of cost, and that will be less now than in the future when property that has to be taken for the purpose increases in value."
 The election of Mir. Ayres as representa- tive gives general satisfaction and no fault is found with him, either as to his ability, fitness or worthiness for the place, by either Democrats CT Republicans. He is clergy man and residesin Woodmont.
 Mr. George R. Kelsey has recently been able to get out of the house little. All will rejoice to see his strength fully return again. Mir. Henry Sutton's new vessel on the stocks at the West Haven shipyard is well | advanced toward completion and good many people are looking forward with pleas urable anticipations to witness it's launch, provided the weather continues fine. | The shore is now so desolate and void ot attractions that even the borough policeman seeks the center of the borough where per l chance he may find an offender against the peace of the town.
 Mr. and Mrs. Joel Sanford, residing or | Thomas street, are very sick. MT. Sanford I has the erysipelas in it's worst form. Mrs Sanford has had two paralytic shocks. They keep the Sanford House for summer board CTS and are highly esteemed by their many | friends who deplore their unfortunate condi l ton. Mrs. Hatch, their daughter, is caring | for them.
