 This is good time for the oyster planters, some of them averaging eight or ten dollars a day with their sharpies. This season is not ex pected to be as long as seasons in the past on account of the late arrivals, but most of the planters will make enough to keep them through until next season.
 The death of John Fl. Tingue, of Seymour, brings to the mind of hosts of his Fair Ha- ven friends the time when the schooner John H. Tingue was launched from Hanscomb's shipyard last September. The schooner, which was named after him, was one of the most handsomely fitted and furnished schoon- CTS in the world. On the day of the launch he showed his generosity by giving an elabor- ate spread to about 1000 guests, in which his Fair Haven friends were well represent ed.
 The steamer 0. F. Hoyt which is being built at Doyle's shipyard for the Hoyt broth CTS, will be launched as soon as the tide per mits.

The steamer when launched will go to Bridgeport to have new boilers put in.
 A prominent member of one of the churches recently said that he was informed that members of his church wore ball dresses that were cut too low for modesty, and this in the midst of religious revival Another thing the matter with Fair Haven is the liquor traffic which is carried on in the Eleventh and Twelfth wards. Every night long after the legal hour for closing, drunken men and boys can be seen coming out of these gin shops. All day Sunday and far and streams of young men and boys come and go The officers seem to take no steps in regard to the matter but are often seen, so it is reported, in the back rooms them selves when they should be on duty.
