West Haven.

Mr. Thomas Shell, of Fiskdale, Mass, who died at the summer residence of his son-in-law, MT. Hugh Galbraith, at Savin Rock Tuesday morning, leaves six children to mourn the loss of revered and affection ate father, viz, MT. A. G. Shell, Mrs. Hugh Galbraith and Mrs David s. Gal braith, of this city, daughter in Milford, Mass, and two sons in Fiskdale.' The old gentleman-his age was 87-had been quite feeble for year or two past. He has resid- ed at Mr. Galbraith's for about two years.
 The bluefshing season has been one of the poorest known for many years at Savin Rock This is said to be largely owing to Kelsey's wharf being gone. The wharf, pro- jscting as it did long way out into the wa ters of the Sound beyond the sand flats, reached out where the b1uefsh schools. were apt to visit and afforded plenty of room for the fishermen to try their luck. Some days ago a party of gentlemen discussed 8 pro ject to form an association to rebuild the wharf to it's former length. It was estimat- ed that the work would cost from $1 ,500 to $2, ,O0O and that fee of ten cents head to all using the wharf would pay a fair inter est on the principal. No action was taken.

New Educational Institution

Major William H. Stowe, who for the past seventeen years has been connected with the faculty of the Collegiate and Commercial h. stitute on Wooster Place run by General Russell, will open collegiate and commer- cial institute, to be run on the same plan, at No. 1, ,575 Chapel street, the school to open September 24. MT. Stowes qualifications and character bespeak the success of the en- terprise.
 The institute is designed to secure for boys, at as early an age as possible, a thorough ele- mentary English education, and, upon this as basis, to give an accurate and complete preparation for the academical and scientific departments of Yale college, for the United States naval and military academies, or for any business pursuits.
 The boarding department is intended for pupils who do not reside with near relatives in New Haven, and to secure to them those family advantages and that paternal care and moral and religious discipline which their age so obviously demands, and without which so many ruined physically and morally, while ostensibly pursuing their studies in schools and colleges.

THE OYSTER STEAMERS.
A Dispute as to the Capabilities of
 Certain Boats.

FAIR HAVEN, Sept. 16, 1885. To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER: Since the advent of the Luzerne Ludding- ton on the waters of the Quinnipiac many items have appeared in different papers con- corning her marvellous speed and ability to pass by all other steamboats of the same class and leave them far behind.
 Quite recently the Emily Mansfield was said to be badly beaten and left half mile astern. Her captain knowing that plenty of chances would occur to try it again, and not caring to be brought before the public, de- clined to inform the public that at the begin ing of the brush the Emily was at least three quarters of a mile astern, which was the fact. Since then everything has remained quiet un- til the Emily left her dock yesterday morn ing and followed the Luddington at the dis tanee of about half mile.
 When they took different courses towards their respective beds on reaching the light house the Luzerne's name, which at the start was just discernable a streak of white on her stern, could be read quite plainly.
 It was quite amusing to read in this morn ing's paper that the Emily was badly beaten again. Time will tell, however, which is the smarter boat As the Emily makes no pre- tense to extraordinary speed we do not wish to say much, but the Emily is always ready, and when she is beaten will admit it and shut up. We would also like to say that we do not go beyond the law in the matter of steam and would recommend to our neigh bors the paint we use on our smoke stack which will not burn off when the stack is red

She was attend ed by Dr. Russell of New Haven, who found that her hip joint was broken and she will be confined to the house for about twelve weeks,
