 Monday the assessors visited the annex for the purpose of putting valuations ou property. George Meeker, Fred Wyman and John Healy, three noted Fair Haven youths, were arrested Monday for stealing a mule from Joseph Seeley of Yalesville. This is but one of the many depredations commit ted by this gang. Wyman was recently arrested for stealing a clam rake from Woodward's dock. William A. Warner, who has been quite ill with maleria fever, is improving. Quite panic was created on the corner of South Front street and Grand avenue yesterday. A horse and carriage driven by two ladies was passing Welch's store when the horse became manageable and backed on to the sidewalk. He acted queerly and as soon as the ladies were Thompson's livery stable on North Front street. Here he was cared for and soon got over his fit of sickness. The Fair Haven butchers will close at 9 o'clock on Thursday morning in order to attend the butchers barbecue in the city. Dr. William H.

He writes to Postmaster Moore somewhat as follows: Recently at Malcom's pool, about seven | miles up the St. Ames river from the l club house, caught a string of trout that size is concerned. There were twenty
 four fish on the string and the total weight was 354 pounds. | Individually they ran-two of two and ! three-quarters each, one, two and half pounds, four of two pounds each, one, l one and three-quarters, three of one and 1 one-half each and thirteen with an average | of one pound. These were all caught be- l tween 5:30 and 7 o'clock in the afternoon on g four-ounce bamboo rod with coach
 man fly. We put back in the river all | hsh Wleghlng less than half pound, 1n
 accordance with the rules of the club, and
 do not, of course, count them on the reg l ister.
