Some of the oyster dealers say that
owing to the present scarcity there is
but little profit in the bushes selling stock
at $3.50 and 1.4O per gallon. The advance
in price has also cut off the demand to a
certain extent, particularly from the coun-
try. Retailers say that their customers
these dealers have cut off their orders in
consequence.
Judge L. P. Deming has been confined
to home by illness for several days. Owing
to his illness his lecture advertised to be
| delivered in the Second church Wednes-
| day evening on "Our National Park" has
been postponed.
Hemingway & Rowe's building on the
| east side is having new front put in to
a L d.
store is located. The front has been shut
| in temporarily with an enclosure of match
ed boards, while the glass front is pre-
pared. The interior of the store is also to
be newly fitted up in an attractive man
| ner.
The Ladies' Aid society of the Second
| church will hold its annual meeting Thurs
day at P. m. At o'clock supper will
| be served.
The attendance at the churches was very
| light Sunday morning, but in the evening
the congregations were much larger. In
l the morning very many people who usual
l ly attend church were very busy digging
| the snow from the sidewalk, although not
| all of the walks were cleaned. Thanks to
| the mild weather, the remaining accumu-
lations could be cleaned yesterday. There
is quite brigade of boys who make quite
| a little money shoveling walks in the win
ter, and these boys were very busy Sun
| day.
Up to Saturday teamers were carting ice
| from Lake Whitney to the house of the
New Haven Ice company at Tin bridge.
The harvest is very good eleven inch ice.
The ice field will be scraped of snow and
! the filling of the house will be continued
during the week.
| People who ride on the Fair Haven cars
| when in the vicinity of St. Patrick church
crane their heads SO as to get view of the
gilded cross on the lofty spire and to see
fSteeple Charlie" when he IS to be seen;
Yesterday was not considered very good
day for steeple- climbing, but Charlie made
the ascent in the afternoon and many peo-
pie saw him at work on the cross. So far
as can be learned he has no competitors
for his job.
Letter Carrier Maurice J. Cain, who
fractured his kneepan several weeks ago,
was able to be out on crutches for the
