FAIR HAVEN NEWS.

Friday Services-Ehe Rain has Sub. dued the Dust-A Death From DiphtherIa-Carrter Gains Benefit Home for the Easter Vacation The Death of Richard Keane-A Rare Calla Plant-Oyster Supper this Eveaing-Ezome From Arizona. The heavy northeast gales blowing for a | week past, have prevented the schooners
 loaded with Virginia plants from coming | up the beach. This is what one of the oystermen said last evening about the prospect of the arrival of these vessels: "When ahe steamers cannot come through
 Long Island sound, no sailing vessel would be likely to come up the beach from Virginia. The northeast gales of the past
 week have been too heavy for these little
 vessels with oysters for Fair Haven. The
 moon fulls tomorrow and I predict
 good weather. The plant ves-
 be be- here this week If the wind cants to to
 the westward they ought to leave tonight.
 When these vessels arrive it will make it
 busy for time planting the stock on the
 beds down by the Beach" Yes, the weather last week was pretty heavy for our coasting vessels, the colliers, but I
 guess they were all in snug quarters. This season these vessels have been pretty for tunate. In act, for the amount of this
 tonnage hailing from the port of New Ha- ven, think the percentage of loss or of
 damage is pretty small"
