BUILDING IMPROVEMENTS.

Many Houses in Process of Erection
 Various New Evidences of PrOs-
 Perity.
 The rapid growth of the city in various directions in the last ten years gives sub stantial evidence of the increase of the city's prosperity. Building is lively in different locations and this is the case on State street, upper end, and vicinity. Mrs. Tiesing, widow of Captain Frank Tiesing, will soon begin the erection of brick block on the lot corner of State and Humphrey streets. It will contain two stores and the rest of the building will be divided up into nice tene ments It is stated that applications have already been received for the rental of the stores and some of the tenements. Also ninety-six feet of land has just been sold on State street,a short distance from Humphrey, by Mir William J. Atwater. Of this thirty six feet front has been purchased by MT. Hessler, the baker, who will this fall erect buildings for bakery and store, and con- duct business there The lot sixty feet front has been purchased. by MT. Basserman, another enterprising man, a cousin of Colo mel Basserman, who will erect a building to be in part occupied by himself for the meat and bologna trade. A block or so further up, on the opposite side, Officer Bicey Beegan, of the police force, who has charge of the patrolling of East Rock Park, is finishing off a large double brick house, part of which he will occupy as 8 residence. A little further up ex-Town Clerk Shuster has just finished a frame house at the junction of State and East streets. It has two stores, one of which is occupied for @ saloon, and the other is engaged for a drug store On Edwards street, near the foot of Nicon street, Mrs. Clark is about to erect a residence next her own residence On Hum phrey street MT. Charles Wilson, the general insurance agent, is about to improve, en- large and beautify his residence. His son is about erecting nice residence on Orange street near Humphrey on the Foote property. Also on Orange street, corner of Bradley, opposite Hon. N. D. Sperry's residence, Major T. Atwater Barnes has be- gun operations vigorously for the erection of fine double brick residence, and on Orange street, corner of Eld, MT. Enos S. Kimberly has the cellar excavated for the handsome brick residence which he will erect at once. Also on Orange street beyond Lawrence street and little above the Messrs. Mat thews residences MT. Bartlett the builder has a new and tasty residence well advanced tow ard completion. Professor Mixter's new resi- denee on Edwards street is nearly completed and is another fine addition to the nice houses in that locality.

An Active Market for saturday.

NEW YORK. Aug. B. To-days market was unusually active for a mid summer Saturday, and the Gould speculative speciaties Western Union and Union Pacific-con- tnued to be the feature The transactions in these made up more than one-third of the entire days trade on Change It became clear early in the day either that the cliques which have been pulling Union Pacific had begun to sell that somebody was selling faster than they could buy. The stock de1 clined per cent. as the net result of the day s trade, and Western Union fell off 3 per cent On quarterly reports showing decreased earnings the New York Central declined 3 per cent and Lake Shore 2per cent. The shelving of President Jewett had no perceptible effect on the course of Erie shares. In the general list there was special movement, but the whole market was naturally weak in sympathy with the leading stocks referred to. The temper of the market was weak at the close.
 Money loaned at per cent.
 Exchange was dull and unchanged.
 Government bonds were steady.

 A Norwich boy who is collecting auto graphs wrote Josh Billings. In return he re- ceived two slips of white paper. On one was written:
 ''My Dear Boy: Don't forget Grandfather Billings. Farewell. JOSH BILLINGS.
 The other bore this cautious expression of personal preferences:
 'I love little boys; but perhapsI love lit tie girls better.
 Good Bye. JOSH BILLINGS
 The New London Day says:-'tGrs. Gavitt, proprietor of the Bacon House in this city, is also proprietor of a large black-and tan ter rier, perfect throughout it's organism with the exception of the fore legs which nature, in one of her peculiar freaks, failed to pro vide. This canine phenomenon walks and runs in an erect position, and should rat or belligerent cat appear upon the scene Fannie will bound upon him like a kangaroo and settle his hash in short order. Indeed the movements of the curious dog resemble those of the marsupial animals much more than they do those of it's own species. It is fat, sleek, apparently happy and well worth the inspection of all who take an interest in such things"
 Early in August box containing silver ware to the value of SIS was stolen from the premises of the Ansonia Brass and Copper company, where it had been delivered by the Derby Silver company for shipment. No public notice of the robbery was given. Wednesday evening Chief Ellis, of Ansonia, received a telegram from the chief of police of Buffalo, N. Y., stating that Lucien w. Hubbard and John Burke had been taken into custody in that city, and that in their possession was a quantity of spoons and forks belonging to the Ansonia Brass and Copper company. The men consented to come on without requisition. Burke is also wanted for breaking open a closet in the factory of J. B. Gardner 6 Sons, where he was employed, and stealing some tools Landlord Dermody will prefer a charge against him for an unpaid board bill amount ing to $56. It is also alleged that he pro- cured suit of clothes under false pretences from PembeTton and from Wood 6 Warren

PICNIC AT THE CONGAMOND LAKES.
 'Abominably hot, said our baker on driv- ing up to our door on Wednesday when the mercury stood at 9S at il a. m But rain the following night rendered all things love 1y again, except that it deranged the picnic plans of the First Congregational and Metho- dist Sunday schools. Yesterday mornings sunshine lured both to the Congamond Lakes. Till about o'clock p. m. the day was all that could be desired. There occurred a powerful rain accompanied with thunder and lightning, to the joy of the earth and the terror of the writer, if not of others. The Congamond steamer Josephine was busy and well patronized. No charge for children un- der fifteen years of age. A strong man on the pavilion grounds exhibits at about 4 o'clock daily, free, prodigious strength and agility He prefaces his exhibits to encourage one to culture one's physical powers He demonstrates that one can lift as much with his left as with his right hand. He lifts two eighty-pound weights, one in each hand, up and up to arms length above his head. Once every day he goes through with his gymnastics, whether there be any to witness them or not, "to keep himself in muscle" Mrs. A. T. Corn well, wife of the First Congregational Sun day school superintendent furnished ice cream in abundance for all, large number, an act eliciting cordial thanks and high apprecia- tion of her generosity.
 A farmer after being greatly insu1ted by boys whom he ordered from his whortleberry lot sued them for trespass, to be worsted on the ground that he told them that they must leave the ground in 8 half hour. They tes- tifed that they left in less than that time; and that he told them they might have what
 they might pick during that period.
 Trying Justice A. T. CornweH, Granby, is much pleased with the recent Re publican nomination for Governor. A bet
 ter nomination it is thought could not have been made. Bulke1ey and Lounsbury act so gentlemanly towards Harrison that the Re publicans here would gladly have all three chosen governors at the same time if it were possible. This is saying nothing against the Hon. Case, whom they know to be worthy and well qualified for Governor or any other political office. He is Yale graduate and
 thus far in forensic and political life reflects
 credit on his alma mater. His good words
 recently in favor of the Hon. Henry B. liar 1 rison were timely and helpful.
