Weat Haven.

Recently stakes have been set to designate the center one of the three routes surveyed for the 'tstsam railroad" to the shore This srouses expectation that the road will be built in the spring. The cost of the right of way is more by this route than the others the shore and west foutes-bHt this is offset by advantages over the others. The line for the center route runs about midway between the palatial Waddingham mansion and the residence of Justice MetcaIf, and crosses Main street about 15O feet east of Union street. It goes from the former point to the terminus at Oriental Park in almost direct line. The layout is such as to do very little damage te private property, either by running too close to residences or cutting up lots into irregular shapes. The prospect of railroad has given 8 considerable rise to renl estate in that To- caIity

AdRm,a Fall.

Ever since Adam's fall, which subjected human nature to diseases of the flesh, there has been demand for blood purifier. We all realize the fact that upon the purity and vitality of the blood depend the health and vigor of the whole system, and that disease of various kinds is often only sign that nature is trying to remove the disturbing cause; hence a reliable blood purifier is of greater importance to the people than is gen. erally supposed. We are pleased to say that Hoods Sarsaparilla bears unmistakeable proof of being this sort of a medicine, andswe think it worthy trial

The Soldiers Monument.


 She'll tt be Built on the Summit of East
 Rocke
 A meeting of the town committee to con- slider the &de aEion and erection of soldiers pscaNment, in accordance with a vote passed by 8 town meeting over year ago, was held in the office of Town Agent Reynolds last evening. There were present Town Agent Reynolds, General s. E. Merwfn, Colonel Samuel Tolles, Gel. John G. Healey, Col. Simeon J. Fox and c. Hofacker. The sev- eral members of the committee present ex- pressed their views freely, and the majority seemed to be in favor of placing the manument on East Rock at it's highest point, which it WAS claimed would be not only the most slightly place for it, but that in future years the thousands of visitors to East Rock park would look upon and admire it New Haven's gift to her honored dead Col. Samuel Tolles strongly urged this location for the monument, as did General Merwin and Colonel Fox.
 It was stated that several plans had been submitted by architects and artists for monument but they had principally been drawn with an idea that the monument would be erected on the Green; whereas if East Rock was decided upon for site, changes would have to be made in the plans on account of location. The committee will meet again at an early day and will probably then come to a decision about the location.
