There is also need of provisions, shoes, cloth, garments and other necessities of | the household.

 M. A. Farren, in his report upon retir-
 ing from the office of grand worthy patri- arch of the Sons of Temperance, states that he has travelled more than $500 miles and ! made twenty visits during the past six months among the various divisions. The steam barge Cortes came in yester- day with load of ties, which were dis charged at the wharf of the Fair Haven
 and Westville Horse Railroad company. Captain George Dadman of the Yale launch is now running the little steamer Annie D., which is towing the sand scow from North Haven to the wharf of the | Adamant company. The scow brings down | fifty tons of sand at each trip. The tides were such that only three trips were made last week, but Captain Dadman expects to
 be able to make trip every day this week. | The steamer goes up the river at low tide,
 Is loaded while the tide is making and l comes down on the ebb. It is sometimes 1 difficult to navigate by the abutmerts of Grand avenue bridge when the current | runs strong, and although Captain Dad
 man is an excellent navigator, on recent trip the scow struck the stones, and if the
 anchor had not been thrown promptly the l scow would probably have sunk. As the
 river freezes in the winter the company is putting in stock of sand sufficient to last through the winter.
 Mrs. Beach of Maiden, Mass., has been visiting friends here.
 Rev. MT. Alvord and wife of Windsor have been visiting Mrs. Mary Alvord of Quinnipiac street.
 Froet fish are reported quite plenty in East Haven. Chief Hsgeman caught ninety two on one trip.
