 The lower part of the house is a lunch and waiting room, and he rents the up- per rooms to visitors for the summer He has had benches and tables built
 under the trees near the house for a free picnic ground for churches and

 Some of the lady residents of Wood-= | mont are very indignant over the fraud
 perpetrated on them by a bogus agent l of sleek and smiling countenance who I took their subscription to the Christian Herald with handsome red letter tes-8 l tament for premium. Not receiving either paper or premium they found on

 ! Old residents of Merwin's Point, who. I have been familiar for life time with
 every nook and inlet along the shore, are astonished this year at the thou sands os little mussels which can be. 1 seen on the rocks outside and under the l water. In some places they cover the
 rocks six inches deep. while other years l they are scarce. They are very small
 and will hardly be large enough to cook
 before fall The lobster catch this sea-
 son is also unusual. Lobsters have of I late years been Sew in number at the
 Point and vicinity. but Edward B. Bur l we'll of Burwell,s Beach has from thir- l ty to forty pounds of lobster in his pots every morning. and on the Fourth he furnished 150 pounds to the Burns and Clark fish markets in Woodmont. I Clans which have always been so lplentiful are now becoming scarce
 articles and unless some law is passed l prohibiting the digigng of them for a time they will become extinct. I Dr. Washburn. the Church street
 pharmacist, came July with his family l to his handsome cottage which has just
 been completed on Beach avenue. William H. Downs of Boston came
 last week to occupy the cottage Of his
 father. William E. Downs of Whitney avenue. l M. E. Burgess of Milford came Friday
 to occupy his cottage and conduct a l livery business. , l Mrs George Schneider of Ansonia will occupy her cottage this month. I Thursday evening nine bathing suits ! were stolen from the line back of the
 Merwin Point house. where they had
 been left to dry.
