1t Is expected that the dredging oper-
ations in the harbor will be completed
by about July 10. There has been deep
ening and widening of the channel from
the harbor entrance as far as the watch
house and from that point to Long
wharf a single cut has been made. I'm
der the appropriation Mill and Quinni-
piac rivers are to be deepened, but this
will not be carried out this year.
The oyster planters are glad that the
mud dredging down the harbor is near
~ completed. Shell planting will soon
begin and there Is fear that with con-
tinued dredging the mud will settle
down on the oyster beds and cover the
shells and seeding oysters.

pital four years suffering from creep
ing paralysis, from which he has been
ailing for fourteen years. The disease
was contracted during the War Of the
Rebellion, when he was member OF
Company G, Twenty seventh c. V. He
was obliged to sleep for several nights
in snow-flled trenches and contracted
paralysis. He is entirely disabled and
cannot lift hand or foot. He has suf
fered great deal Of pain for years, but
of late has been failing and the pain
has not been as great. OF late his
tongue has been nearly paralyzed and
he can talk with great difficulty.
East Haven had no public celebra-
ton of the Fourth, but many came to
the city to take part In the municipal
celebration. The bells were rung and
the flag was displayed in recognition Of
the great anniversary. Years ago the
old village had public celebrations of
the day and they were genuine and
affairs.
