New Haven, this week and R. Scholley of Birmingham takes his preliminary ex- animation there. They are both from the Academy. Two of the girls intend to teach, next year. The Academy will open about the 3d of September.
 At the hearing on the EastOn road case, Thursday, 21st, B. T. Beers did not think that the road could be built for 5000. The City road could be opened for Sl4 to $l6 per rod and the old road for S6 per rod; supposed that the Water Go. could be made to build a new road, if the town required. Joseph w. John son was employed by the Water Go. Charles Wheeler thought that it was not a feasible road; common necessity does not require it. Seeley Bibbins was not well acquainted with the west bank of reservoir; did not think that the road was necessary. Neither did M. II. Thorpe. Nor Elmer $. Andrews. George D. Seeley did not think the road was feasible. Selleck N. Osborne thought it not necessary. Levi French was famil- far with proposed route; but did not think it feasible. George $. Gillette thought it was not necessary; it is not an easy place to build q road. Charles F. Silliman did not favor the layout, be- cause the Chestnut Hill road was conven- tent on the east and the Easton turnpike on the west; the cost of the road was his chief objection. Eber Gould had been over the route and thought it not feas- ibie. The public had facilities to reach Bridgeport. Adjourned to Thursday, 2Sth.-Jurors for the ensuing year: Mat thias Bradley, George J.

Sil- | liman.-Selectman Peck and Health Of fcer Goddard of Bridgeport visited the new reservoir, last week and did not find the water as bad as reported. Joseph | Wheeler says that he removed the con- tents of the Italian privies to field be- low the dam and that the Italian quar- ters were not removed because a sudden freshet filled the reservoir sooner than was expected. He thinks that Bridge ports filthy water comes from the pipe in the city joining the new and old sys- tems. where the water stood until it be came stagnant and dirty.
