JUDGES CAVE.

From the map (A) it will be seen that the well known Judges Cave is situated at only a short remove southward from the south line of the town lands, and F would respect fully suggest the extension of the town property so as to cover and control this site
 It is an interesting historical memorial; the costs of the proposed extension of limits could not exceed few hundred dollars; and I have faith that the Historical society of New Haven, or other such public spirited body of citizens, would in that event cheer fully assume guardianship of this spot and secure it's safe keeping by the erection of such barriers as might be necessary. The lands adjoining would have their uses for the town in supply of wood, stone pasturage, and a fairly conditioned farm road, such as might be needful for utilizing the products of the land, would give carriage access for strangers and citizens to one of the most interesting sites in the neighborhood of New Haven.

The ''boyeotting" business displayed on a banner across Church street eliminated last evening in the arrest of Joseph Cunning ham, who made the banner and placed it in position as directed. MT. Cunningham sim ply acted under orders and the question to be settled in the courts is, whether he, if any body, is responsible. The parties who order ed the banner claim that if excursion parties and political clubs are allowed to place their advertising banners across streets they should have the same privilege. The facts are that all of these banners are suspended contrary to law, and are only there by sui france. In MT. Cunningham's case he gave bonds for his appearance before the City court this morning.

PLAN OF BUILDINGS.

 PLAN OF BUILDINGS
 It is understood that your Board have as vet come to no decision in regard to the character or range of the proposed architectural work; in order, however, to formulate proper scheme of roads, ap proaches, etc., it was necessary to assume some plan of buildings. This I have done suggesting such as conform with construc- tions of the sort which have been approved by most recent ano critical trials. The plan which I have outlined and which appears upon the several maps, as well as diagram c and the prospective drawing D, provides for several dormitories, two stories in length, of varying size, severely plain, but of sub- stantial construction, for superintendent's ottage(unneeessarily large in the drawing D), for common eating hall, to be sub-divided as classification may demand and admitting of women's workrooms above, Ia common kitchen and boiler house adjoining from which all the buildings are to be named), a large enclosed courtyard; this, too, to be sub divided as the restraint of tramps or others put to special or compulsory laws may de- mand A storehouse is also suggested upon the western side of court with workrooms above and with fianking sheds.

THE WATER COURSES.

The farm land proper is traversed by three considerable brooks; the Wilmot brook on the extreme eastern side, recently damned and ] flowing pg3o large acreage for ice purposes; flowing from the Hamden highlands and traversing the entire length of the farm from north to south and joining the VII mot brook at a short distance above the southern limit of the farm. The third brook flows at right angles to the latter through the so-called Wintergreen gorge and joins the last named Hamden brook at about the cen ter of the farm.

DISTRIBUTION OF BUILDINGS.

This distribution of buildings for the hous- ing of those who must be fed and lodged at town cost is believed to be in conformity with the best sanitary laws, to admit of easy and free extension, to insure in degree against the spread of disease, and to promote and make easy that classification of the in mates which all the humanities and all righteous economics demand.
 Recent legislation in regard to country homes for destitute children may simplify to a certain degree this problem of classification; but there will always remain differences of age, of sex and of infrmities which spring from illness and others which spring from vice, that cannot wisely be neglected and that warrant careful segregation.

PUBLIC ROADS

A country highway, little used, skirts a portion of the farm upon the north but the main approach is now, and must always be, by the highroad which crosses the brook Carrying the water of all the three brooks previously named near the old New Haven and Hamden dividing line, and runs there from straight to present farm house and barns. At this latter point the road turns at right angles to the west, and by a very heavy grade reaches the top of the hill or plateau where it is proposed to establish the new almshouses; thence it passes by easier grades northwesterly to the Win terpreen lake and territory beyond

THE NEW TOWN FARM.

Donald G. NTitcheII's Plans Sub-

 An Exhaustive and Comprehensive
 Report Of the Layout.
 Yesterday afternoon at o'clock Donald G. Mitchell, Esq, submitted his report of the layout of the new town farm, and pre- sented extensive maps and diagrams showing the location of new buildings as he proposed, and which he thought would be most suita- ble for the proper care of the towns poor and for the best interests of the taxpayers of New Haven. The report is an exhaustive one and will be read with interest by every one. The maps and plans are in the hands of the town agent and can be referred to by those interested in the matter. Following is the report:
 To the Honorable Board of Selectmen of the
 Town of New Haven:
 Gentlemen-Agreeably to your instruc- tions I have made careful examination of the ground recently secured by the town upon the eastern flank of the West Rock range of hills, with view to it's use as a town farm and to the establishment there of new aims houses, and beg to report follows:

DESCRIPTION OF THE TOWN LANDS.

The ground specified consists of tract some two or three hundred acres in extent lying upon the lesser heights of the West Rock range and along the valley eastward, the same having been purchased of the Sel- den estate; also of a second parcel of land containing some thirty or forty acres lying westward of the first named tract and imme- diately contiguous thereto, the same being mountain woodland devised to the town by the late Elijah Thomson.
 This latter tract, not being subject to cul- tivation-nor inviting it at present-does not appear upon the larger and more elabo- rate plan submitted with this report. The same, however, does appear upon the lesser diagram (marked Al based upon the coast survey. This diagram shows the relations of the two parcels to each other, also the ad the trend of neighboring highways, and the prominent features of the country from Wintergreen Lake on the north to the south ern cliff of West Rock, and from the West Rock ridge on the west to the eastern limits of Pine Rock elevation.

CHANGE OF HIGHWAY.

I shall strongly urge at once and as vital to the scheme of proposed improvements a change in the outlay of so much of this high way as traverses the farm land in agreement with the lines submitted in accompanying maps. The proposed new course of high road would diverge from present road shortly after crossing the stone bridge and thence bearing nearly northwest ascend by an easy grade until the existing public road is joined again near the western limit of the Selden purchase. The change is urged on four sev- eral grounds

 THE SAN FRANCISCO MINISTRIES. The performance by the above company

r The performance by the above company given to good sized audience at Carlls Opera House last evening was exceptional for it's excellence. The usual bombast and spec tacular features which have of late been so common to minstrel performances were con spicuous for their absence. Attention has been paid by this company to the securing of talent, and consequently the performance was capital. The instrumental and vocal portion excellent, and the following va riety half revealed number of burnt-cork artists who were capital in their specialties, eliciting hearty applause and shouts of laughter. This evening the company will again appear, and they should be greeted by full house.

REASONS FOR CHANGE OF HIGHWAY.

First, It would give more compact and manageable shape to the farm.
 Second, It offers more direct and shorter course to the plateau where the build ings are to be established and to the proper critics beyond.
 Third, It secures a much easier grade.
 Fourth, By vacating the old road it will give much needed privacy to the farm build ings which are now immediately upon the highway.
 Of course, in the event of such change, that portion of the present public road lead ing directly north from the bridge would re- main and offer a dignifed, private avenue of to the farm proper. No serious ob- stacles are in the way of such new road con struction. A culvert may be needed at foot of hill, and I should advise in place of cul- vert short bridge, in order to give cattle-way beneath and thus allow of free range from the pasturage lying south of road to lands lying north and to the barns.

: LOCATION oF NEw ALMsHoUsEs.

In regard to the location of the new aims houses there can hardly be two opinions. The site have indicated is along the crest of the highest plateau on the western skirt of the farm, commanding wide views, securing freshest and best air, admitting of easy and perfect drainage either to the east, the south east, or northeast, while a slight depression of surface in the rear guards effectively against any excess of moisture from the springy lands above, and to the westward
 Moreover, the plateau offers ample space for the establishment of all buildings at present
