LONG HILL.

A subscription paper has been circu- lated along the street to raise the $5000 needed to macadamize the turnpike from the jnnction of the roads near the stores to the Bridgeport line, distance of three miles and one eighth. Elliott M. Beardsley heads the list with 5000 and several $500 or $400 subscriptions follow. Early in the week, nearly $3000 had been pledged and it is hoped that all ben efitted by the improvement will contrib ute literally, that the work may be com menced as soon as possible.It is suggest cd that leading Bridgeport merchants would probably subscribe for so good a cause, if the matter were laid before them. The recent action of the towr shows that the $5000 to come out of ts treasury will be cheerfully paid, wheI the private subscription is assured. A meeting of the vestry of Grace church was called for Monday evening at the rectory, to take action on the pro ject of building rectory barn. It ii sadly needed and hope has been ex pressed that it might be ready by Christ mas.
