Hoard of SeIeetspn nm .

A meeting of the Board of Seleetnen was held last evening. Present, Selectmen Tyler (presiding), Reynolds, Treat, Beecher, Brown and Klenke.
 MT. Treat called attention to the item of repairs for stone crusher in the town agents report amounting to $700. He inquired if it was possible that this amount had been paid out in one year for repairs on that old crusher. He was informed that erhaps a small portion of the bill had come over from last year, but the bulk of it was for this year or before the new crusher was bought. The Board were of the opinion that when a new crushsr could be bought for about $500 that 1t was not economy to repair old ones, espe- cially when they were badly worn.
 MT. Treat said that if they had bought new crusher last year as was suggested they would have been better off.
 The town agents reports, which have been printed in pamphlet form, are ready for dis tribution and may be obtained at the town agents office.
 The matter of circulating the town agents reports was left in the hands of the town agent with power to act
 It was voted to notify parties in interest in the improvement on Ferry street in the "Annex" who had not given deeds for their land to appear before the Board two weeks from last evening.
 The draft for the call for the town meeting was decided upon and is published in anoth- CT column.

VERY HIGH TKDEs,

The Highest For YearS-Water EnOugn
 A Rise of 10 1-2 Feet Yesterday
 Another Big Rise Last Night-Con-
 junction of Influences
 Yesterdays tides were the highest known in many years. Capt. E. s. Burt, keeper of the Tomlinson bridge, said yesterday: s'The tide to-day at high water, 12:30 p. m., rose ten feet six inches as shown by gauges located north and south of the bridge and the tide washed over the string piece on the Steamboat dock. The tide rose six inches over the center pier of the new draw at Tomlin- sons bridge. The wind was about northeast and blew a strong breeze but not gale"
 An old sobserver and sea dog said the highest tide occurred last night. There are three elements in favor of these high tides These three influences acting in favor of these high tides in conjunction are. First, the moon having fulled on the 22d inst sec- ond, the moon being in perigee on the twen- 24th at four p. m.; and third, there also being heavy northeast wind at sea. The effect of the wind in volume of water forced into Long Island Sound both by the way of Sandy Hook and the Race-both entrances of the Sound. Then these two tides meeting in Long Island Sound "pile up" in sea parlance, as the tide, remaining stationary at high water, natural ly forces itself into all bays, inlets and har- bors.
 It is we'll known that two or three days af ter the moon is full and in perigee the tides are the highest.
 Curtis Evarts estimated yesterday that the tide yesterdayw noon was the highest ever Many of the wharves were submerged, but no special damage was done as the wind was off shore and the water quiet. Kimberly & Goodrichs coal yard was flooded and the water put the fires out under the boilers of their coal hoisting apparatus, and at Gower 6 Mansfelds lumber yard much lumber was set afoat. The North Haven meadows were covered and the sight was fine.
 The Bridgeport Forge company report damage amounting to $3, ,000 by the overflow at their place. The water was over their yard one foot deep. It disarranged railroad tracks used for bringing in their ores, placed their scales askew, put out many of their furnace fires and wrought injury to their air pipes under ground. The water advanced 100 feet north of the company's office.
 The new sea wall in front of the George Hotel in Black Rock was damaged to the ex- tent of &, ,O00 At Smiths coal office, in the same place, immense anchors had to be placed on the scales to save them from ruin.

raa THANKSGIVING SEASON.

Arrival of old Faces-The Turkey
 Slaughter - Gobblers Decimated =
 Many a Cheefless Home to be Made
 Happy-Pleasant Sights and Kind
 Deeds.
 The near approach of the. great national holiday was indicated yesterday by the in- creased travel on the railroads and steam boats, the presence of old familiar faces once again in town after eriods of absence longer or shorter, and unusually busy times at the markets and groeery stores, where piles of golden-aolored turkeys and chickens were in vitingly and conspicuously arrayed to tempt patrons. The dealers as usual have received not few orders from generous souls to send fine turkey or brace of chickens to houses where such { donation would be warmly ap- preciated and exceedingly welcome and where without such remembrance Thanks giving day would be cheerlsss. In one of our large markets last evening one well known citizen gave quite large number of such orders and the good thereby done may be imagined.
 fine retail price of turkeys, chicken and duck this week is 25 cents all around.
 Over eighteen tons of turkeys, chickens, ducks and prairie fowl We're received yester- dsy by one firm, Frisbie & Hart, and ten or twelve tons were shipped off last night to their customers out of town. Several tons went up the Naugatuek Valley. A large quan- tity of this heavy supply came from Ohio.
 At Humphrey street Congregational church last e3eniiig, despite the wretched, cheerless, wet weathe1, there was gladdening scene It was 8 collection of hams, sugar, bags Of four, baskets of potatoes, chickens, turkeys, etc., bought CT sent by charitable people and Ieft at the church to be distributed among poor and deserving families in that section of the city. An effort has been made to learn and ascertain in what quarters and places such donations would do the most good and be most acceptable; and ths generous col lection will all find it's way in such direc- tions.
 The various charitable agencies in this city are wide awake to supply needy families as far as they can, and many family will thus be made happy.
 One pfominent gentleman whose name it is not necessary to give sent out an order yesterday for the distribution of twenty-five turkeys to as many poor families, a a-custom which hs has practiced for years, and many 8 family has thus been made happy without ever knowing the name of the benevolent donor. And not few other such cases ot giving are known.
 Besides cases like the above, there will be, no doubt, from 5000 to 2.5O0 pounds of tur- key and chicken given away to-day by em- ployers to employees.

Lirhtninr Arraa1ara-

An exhibition of the patent Automatic Lightning Arrester was given in City Hall yesterday afternoon in the presence of Chief Hendrick, Superintendent of Fire Alarm Smith and other city officials. Mr. H. A. Pitcher, superintendent of the National Electric Protector Co. of New York, exhib- ited the workings of the little instrument, which did its work very satisfactorily to those who witnessed it's operation. By it's attachment to the fire alarm telegraph wires all danger of the alarm boxes or the valuable electric machinery in the chiefs office being burned out by the crossing of wires with the Electric Light company's wires or from lightning is obviated. The agent is intro ducing the instruments into several of the large cities and his purpose in exhibiting here was to interest the Board of Fire Com rnissioners and in the end make sale to the city.

FAIR HAVEN.

The Highest Tide In TWenty-Nine
 Years - St. Francis Church Fair -
 Personal Notes.
 The high tide, the highest in twenty nine years, did not do much damage up the Quin- nipiac river yesterday beyond flooding near ly all the oyster shops on both sides of the river that were near the banks. Old oyster men recollect but one higher tide, that of 1856, which completely submerged South Front street so that 8 1owboat could ap- proach the steps to the village market. Con siderable damage resulted from the tide, torn down and everything not anchored floating off at ebb tide. The tide of yester- day will rank second with that of 1856 and will be long remembered by those versed in river lore and will serve as date to calcu- late less important events from in the future. Lewis Pierpont's prompt action in going to the rescue of Godfrey Morris yesterday, al many exp1 p1essions of admiration from his friends. MT. Pierpont states that he was within five feet of the man when he went under. Had not his friends called to him from the shore to stop sculling for fear he would run him down, he would have reached him. As it was, he extended him the oar, not thinking but that he could grasp it. After the exertion in getting his canoe out into the middle of the river in the raging waters. MT. Pierpon was almost ex- hausted and was sick all the afternoon. Last night Thomas Crowley, who has been award ed a gold medal by the Common Council for finding bodies of persons who have been drowned in the Quinnipiac river in years past, began dragging for Morris body, but dssisted after unsuoeessfully working until 10 o'clock. He will begin operations again this morning and is confident that he will recover the body in a short time. Many, however, disagree with MT. Crowley, as they do not believe that the body remains in the river as they think that the strong tide car- ried it out to the Sound.
 Miss Nettie Bradley is still said to be im- proving.
 H. c. Rowe's new oyster shop will be open ed next week with large force of shuckers.
 The fair of St. Francis church opened very successfully at Washington Hall Monday night Father Mulholland's driving horse, which is one of the prizes to be disposed of by ticket, is proving great attraction and promises to net good deal of money for the church.
