Fires in the Woods and Meadows Near Second AVenue--Sharp Work Fighting the Flames.

Fires in the Woods and Meadows Near Second AVenue--Sharp Work Fighting the Flames.
 Saturday afternoon shortly after 3 o'clock fire started in the woods behind the Ma | thushek piano company's shops in West Ha- ven. The wind blew the flames toward Sec ord avenue and set the meadows on fire, and
 several acres of the meadow land were in 0
 short time blazing. By this time Mir. Par
 melee of the piano shops had force of men
 out at work at the fire. They obtained
 water from the we'll of house owned by
 Mir. A. Thill, the merchant tailor of this city. They stopped the fire when it had
 reached the orchard at the Thill place. The
 flames did not reach any outbuildings on the
 premises, but burned fences about the place and near by belonging to MT. Thill, doing
 about one hundred dollars damage. The
 house is not occupied by MT. Thill as sum-
 mer cottage, but is rented by him. About
 fifteen acres of meadow land were burAed
 over by this fire
 Another fire started on the meadows in the same neighborhood on the opposite side of Second avenue Sunday evening, and the wind blew the flames toward First avenue. Mir Jones, the expressman, and neighbors were out most of the night fighting the fire and keeping it away from their valuable property. About dozen acres were burned over on Sunday night.

YESTERDAY.
Touch of SprIng-Like Weather

Touch of Spring-Like Weather
 Was 1t Too Beautiful to Lasta
 Yesterdays bright weather was refresh ing and the representatives of the human race in this part of the State seemed to be very favorably affected by it and gained in- creased cheerfulness and spirit The grass felt encouraged to show itself a little more, the birds essayed to peep out 8 little, the small boys were delighted beyond measure, the Yale crew practising on the river pulled with renewed energy and better precision, and everything and everybody appeared to be in an improved condition. Chapel street was unusually lively with ladies out shop ping and the dry goods emporiums did a much larger volume of business than in any previous day for weeks. Winter, it would appear, has apparently retired and ceased from lingering in the lap of spring, but con gratulstions may be premature, as we may have snow squa1 or two before the week is out.
