Rivers of Water Running In she
 Streets-Many Falls and Tumbles.
 The thaw is getting in it's work in earnest. All day Saturday and yesterday the snow was growing less, much to the regret of many and to the satisfaction of others. The heavy rain of Saturday evening gave the streets thorough washing, and the walking, slippery as it had been before the shower,
 was worse afterward, SO that, as is estimated
 by thoughtful and observing officer, there
 were more falls and tumbles to the square
 yard last Saturday night than he had ever
 seen before in one evening in his lifetime.
 Everywhere people were to be seen slipping
 up and wildly throwing up their arms on the
 slippery pavements. Many people took to
 the middle of the streets, finding locomotion much easier and safer there. Yesterday rivers of water ran in the streets and little Alpine torrents poured down the gulches and ravines at East Rock Park. At the Neck bridge such a saucy little torrent poured down the sluiceway into the river as to threaten the shaky abutments of the bridge with absolute ruin.
 \ All about in the suburbs the ravines and valleys were filled with ponds of ice which, if frozen over soon, will make fine skating places for the boys. Never in years was there more sleighing here than in the past ten CT twelve ! days and never were sleighing parties and | expeditions to neighboring towns more nu. ! merous. A score or more of New Haven \ sleighing parties are to come off this week Ii | the thaw does not carry of too much Of the | snow. The fine warm weather yesterday was | 8 foretaste of springs coming and the people | were out enjoying it, but ere winter resigns ! and steps down and out he will make his power felt yet considerably.

Entertainments.
MYRTLE KINGSLAND.

The New Haven Opera House was filled to
 overfowing last evening by an audience
 which applauded the fine stereopticon views
 shown and illustrated by Miss Myrtle Kings
 land. The entertainment was quite, novel
 one for New Hayeners to enjoy in an opera
 house on Sunday evening and those present fully appreciated Manager Walls efforts to please the public even seven days in the week. Mics Kingsland, who is an accomplished elo- cutionist, explained in a terse, pleasing and entertaining manner the various views shown. There was great variety of them shown. Miss Kingsland occasionally recfted some poetry and kept the audience in the very best of humor. The excellent success which Manager Wall met with last evening has made him decide to give @ series of Sun day evening entertainments of like nature.

office because he is u Democrat ana will ap-
point man solely because he is Repub-

the white people should be made wherever
possible, oven though it nee essitates their vot-

believes the coming election will be fair one,

less a defence OF FBgDERIoK's memory
than justification Of the elaine upon
