 There is to be fair here in February. This is for the Catholic church. Tick cts will be sold in advance and the young ladies are already busy and soon the fair and it's prospects will be up- permost in the public mind. The fairs in the past have been carried through with much pleasure and all who took part have had good time.
 The board of relief will meet again on Saturday.
 On Tuesday afternoon there was skat- ing on a number of places and the boys and girls enjoyed it. In places where Quinnipiac river had overflowed and had become frozen over it seemed to the boys as just the place to skate and they turned out in full number after o'clock in the afternoon. There was also ' skating on Plants pond.
 The plate glass was put in at MT. Barnes store in the town hall building on Tuesday afternoon.
 The skaters were taking down the staging from the new office building of Clark Bros & Go. Tuesday evening. The building is a good large one and is two and half stories high. It is built of brick. It is west of the railroad track and immediately back of the Mill dale depot Close to the west founda- tion there was a handsome tree, and in building a part of this tree was saved, but only the trunk and two of the limbs. It stands there now reminding you of the letter Y. Near this tree are some good windows with single-glass panes, which will let in plenty of light. The building will be used in packing up the company's bolts, as well as for an of flee. These shops where the bolts are made are half a mile away beside the Ouinnipiac river. It may be stated that the building is about 30 feet wide and 60 feet long, and with slate roof. It will look first-rate from the railroad cars and every engineer and conductor who goes into New Haven over the Canal railroad admires it already, but they cannot see the Y-shaped tree at the west end One of MT. Dahill's skaters gave the Journal and Courier man a good slate. This slate comes from Ban gor Me. The latter part of February win find the building in use.
 Our new steam laundry is doing first rate.
 The shop whistles and gongs can be heard here evenings at times from quarter to five until six o'clock Those in town and from Waterbury, Bristol New Britain and Meriden.
