A LEASE OF DISPUTED VALUE.

W. W. Stow, of New Haven, on Wednesday leased for year of F. B. Carter, agent, the right to erect a signboard on the property at the northeast corner of Prospect street and Central Row. While the board was going up he was visited by an agent of the Travellers Insurance company and, as he says, told that the work must stop as it was an encroachment on the property of that company. He kept on, and presently the superintendent of streets put in an appearance with word that he was encroaching on the city. At evening the board stood there with comparatively modest an- nouncement of the firm whose purposes it was to serve. The property involved is 8 small piece which has long been in dispute It was next north of the house of NJ. W. Chapin when that stood on the east side of Prospect street north of the building now occupied by the Travellers Insurance comps ny and then by Alfred Smith. It was claimed by the city and also by Mir. Chapin, and seems now to have three claimants Hartford Courant.

What a New York Paper Finds to Say in
 the Absence of ''Spectals.''

What a New York Paper Finds to Say in
 the Absence of s'Specta1s.''
 The New York Graphic says that there is plenty of news, even though telegraphic com munication is stopped from abroad. There is plenty at home right under our noses, and news, too, of the most interesting descrip- tion. Here is sample of field as yet not more than half worked in journalism, and news of this sort will make somebody feel as if they had sat on sharp tack:
 'When will that silly Miss Bungetoot cease practicing on her rickety piano? She's thirty five If she's day, and she's been working away at the same old air for the last ten years. She breaks down just where she did six years ago, and there's no more time or melody in the old girl than there is in @ crow bar We have long waited for some merciful friend to tell her all this but as none will come forward and do their duty it becomes a necessity for the press to take hold of the matter.
 ''Arrowroot's washing was hung ont to dry yesterday. It's getting very small for a fam fly of that size. The Arrowroots have not gone out of town at all this summer, but are living in the seclusion that their basement and back parlor grant.
 sLobelia, that eldest girl of the Rhubarbs has commenced taking the back seat so as to allow Miss Lenna Rhubarb, the next in years, to come forward and take her matrimonial chances. Lobelia has made good fight of 1t for the last ten years, but it's no use. She doesn't yield gracefully, though, but spits and snarls SO at home that there's no peace in the same room with her.

 '.It is sad to see 8 young girl like Annie MuIhoosh lace so tightly. The girl now is pale as a sheet, and why her parents do not compel her to stop this suicidal practice is . mystery.
 4tThe Drumhead children are a nuisauce to the neighborhood. They are out every night in the street till 11 o'clock, and are allowed to associate freely with the rising young hoodlums on the west side of town.

The First Congregational church picnicked yesterday at the Congamond lakes Three Sunday schools were on the ground-ours, one from Southwick and one from Granville. A party from Springfield used two cars which were switched of on the grounds for the day. There are on the lakes two new steamers, viz., Ida Lee and Josephine. They appear to be new. Small boats are numerous. The crowd on the grounds was orderly. Not an intoxicated person crossed our path during the day. The children greatly enjoyed sail ing on the steamers. Our Sunday school was treated to ice cream furnished by Mrs. A. T. CornwelI, wife of the superintendent, one of the most accomplished and refined of women. The supply was abundant.
 The great want of the hour is rain.

The Harold c. Beecher Makes Her First
 Trip Starting From Madison. .
 The Harold O. Beecher was launched by c. M Benedict & Co. yesterday at Madison. The rain which was falling steadily all the morning did not keep the people away from the spot and they stood there until the ves- sol was safely of into the water and even then seemed reluctant about going away. The Beecher is Q three-masted schooner and has been nearly 8 year in building. Her cost is about $24, 1000. There are twenty five owners. She is divided into thirty two shares, of which Madison owns one-eighth, Ansonia one fourth, and New Haven the balance. She was built especially for the West India and Florida pine lumber trade, is 40 feet over all, 12O feet keel, g feet beam, has displacement of 347 tons and will carry over $50 tons She will draw $ 1 3 feet light, II feet loaded. She was named after the six years old son of James Beecher, with Sperry S Barnes of New Haven, and the boys picture draped in gay bunting adorned the reception room of the cabin The vessel is we'll formed in every respect Her rig is moderately tall and very comfort able.
 The boat was all rigged for sailing and yesterday afternoon she left for New York At that city she will ship a crew for Balti more where she will load with coal before going south. E H. Weaver, of New Haven, is the Beecher's business agent and managing owner. Captain George M. Beckwith of Niantic, formerly of Clinton, commands her, and her first officer is Charles Haskell of Deer Island. Sutton & SIattery, of Mystic Bridge, spared the Beecher; Carlos Barry, of New London, furnished her cloud of can vas; M Braningan, of New London, rigged her; her tackle blocks, all of the most i'm proved varieties, are from Bagnall's in Bos- ton, and c. D. Hall, of New Haven, did the iron work.
