THE LOWER CONNECTICUT.

No Ice in the River-Navigatfon n
 Practically Opened for the New
 Haven Line of Boats.
 There is every sign in the lower Con- necticut that navigation is open again, and unless cold snap sets in the river will not be closed again this season. Friday night, for the first time since last Novem- Der, the "bug" lights (sma1 ightheuses) at Essex, Hamburg, Deep River and Ches- ter cast their rays across the murky watera of the Connecticut, and their keepers ap- prehend that they will not again be com pelled to "douse the glim" until the ar rival of another winter.
 Since the close of navigation on the river, above spoken of, the New Haven old line steamboats has done the heaviest freighting business probably ever known in the history of the "old line"
 A large amount of freight which would have gone up the river to the different towns and cities, by the Hartford boats, has come to New Haven by the old line and been sent forward by the Hartford road. The 0. H. Northam has been kept running on full time, although usually she has been hauled off at this season of the year. The numerous consolidated railroad clerks at Belle dock and tally men, have all had heavy winters work, with plenty of overtime work.
