any one day was 1000, which is the largest
circulation on any one day since che library
has been opened. During February the av-
erage circulation for each day was 525, which
was the largest of any month except October.
There are new 1000 volumes in the library,
and 1850 patrons. It ia expected that with

ames will be added to the already large col
lection. About one-h half of the new books
will be fiction

versary-The Venerable Precepter-
HIS Advanced Age-His Blindness
His Recent Toll as an Author of
school Readers.
There seems to be q strong and increasing
demand among the former pupils of the Lam
casteriap school for grand reunion at the
coming celebration. The subject has been
talked over but little, but meets with in
slant and hearty appreciation wherever
preached. The surviving pupils of the old
Lancasterian are yet numerous, and long
may they continue to survive and flourish,
and what lends more potency and force to
the suggestion is the fact that the noble and
venerable preceptor Of the school, John E.
Lowell, is still in the land of the living, and
q specially invited guest for the occasion.
Mr.. Lowell is now upwards of SO years Of
ager. he is as yet q stranger to the project
of the reunion, and owing to advancing
years has become nearly if not totally blind.
Owing to this misfortune and the decline of
his strength he has not felt energy enough to
push to publication the new readers upon
which he has been, despite his great age, as
siduously engaged for the past few years,
and which were completed when his sight
interviewed. Such an instance of severe APP
plication and mental labor is very rare in a
man of such advanced age. Owing to his
years and feebleness he has determined not
to publish the readers himself, but will sell
the manuscript. Mr.. Lovell's home, as for
several years past, is Waterbury. Among
the well known New Haven men who were
pupils of the Lancasterian school are ex-
Governor English, Ex-Governor a. B. Harri-
son, Judge Henry E. Pardee, Judge Lynde
Harrison, and many others of note in our
city.
GENERAL 8. R. SMITH ACCEPTS THE POST OF
CHIEF MARSHAL.
The general committee on New Ravens
two hundred and 6ftieth anniversary meet
again tomorrow evening at the City Hall to
further arrange for this event. General S.
R. Smith, who was appointed chief marshal,
has accepted that important and responsible
position, as is shown by the following letter
received by Town Agent Reynolds yesterday:
March &c. 1888.
My dear sir-Now that 1 have accepted the ap.
pointment Of chief marshal, etc., suppose must
do what can toward making the celebration of the
two hundred and f1fteth anniversary a success.
What would like to see in the procession is every
local society Of the city, and principal among the
largest civic societies are the A o. H. temperance
Why can't it be arranged for every one of them
to turn out on that day? There are enough of them
and if they will parade they shall be so formed,
under marshals of their own choosing. MayI
count on your help to get them out in body?

Railroad Commisstoners' Meeting in


A hearing relative to the crossing proposed
through Shelton by the extension of the Der
by railroad took place in the Town hall at
Shelton yesterday before Railroad Commits
si9ners Seymour and Hayward. The Derby
road was represented by Simeon E. Baldwin
of New Haven, w. H. Starbuck, president of
the Housatonic road, and w. q. Stevenson of
the Derby road. William T. Wooster repre-
sented the borough of Shelton and Attorney
Sidney Downes the property owners. Many
of the citizens favored the plan of allowing
the road to go over the highway on an eleva-
ton, but there were many who opposed this
plan. No decision was reached. The COM
missionsrs also visited Birmingham for the
purpose of deciding the advisability of plac-
ing gate at the Main street crossing.

That Dangerous Pistol again.

As Amos Hilton of Bridgeport, employed
by the Consolidated road, was riding up on
the 500 train from New York Monday eve-
ming, he had a very narrow escape from be-
ing shot. In the seat behind him a man W as
showing pistol to friend, and in doing so
the loaded weapon was discharged. The ball
passed through the back of the seat where
Hilton sat and then through the skirt of his
coat in two places. 1t seems as if people
would never learn to use proper caution in
handling a pistol.
