Ayearagoiast April \V. H. Hoyt &
Son, of this city, supplied C. S. Conkiing
of the Doriou Oyster House, New York,
with a lot of seed oysters for transplant-
ing in Ltndhavcn B-ty, Va. This was
an experiment, being the first seed oys-
ters taken from Northern waters for
transplanting in the South. This week
Mr. Hoyt received from Mr. Conkling a
barrel of oysters from the seed which be
bad furnisbcd,and a ltberalsamplo of
them came to this Lilies through the
generosity of Mr. Hoyt. Finer oysters
in all respects, we never Barr, and noth-
ing we have ever seen compares with
them except the famous Mill, Ponds of
Compo. Tho shells are almost white,
and the meats are solid and firm and ofa
rich yellow color, of the shade of the
finest creamery butter. , The flavor is
perfect. We have been informed since
we have sampled these oysters that
Lindhavcns bring $9.00 a, barrel in the
New York market. This experiment
shows that Norwalk “seed” can be suc-
cessfully converted into these famous
oysters. and may be the means of mak-
ing this place a market of supply for
Liudliaveus.

sentcd was neat and rrfined. The pro-
gramme wss a large one, and arranged
with special desire to please the best taste.
It was also new, so far as any thing per-
taining to minstrelsy can be called new
and this must have accounted for much
of the on j Iymcnt that was expressed by
the audience at all points of the enter-
tainment. “Pasha of Bngadad" made a

A PAIR HAVIN .VIAN “ORDERED.
Desperate Assault by a Negro sulfur.
John Martin of Fair Haven, mate of
the schooner Annie Carl, was murdered
on his vessel at Atlantic City on Christ
mas night, by Andrew (Rimes, a colored
man, employed on the vessel. The male
called the negro to his supper, but receiv-
ed only an insult in reply and upon rc-
ruonstrating with the man, was savagely
attacked and repeatedly stabbed in the
arm and breast with it sheath knife. The
mate’s lung was penetrated and he fell
bleeding to the deck. Grimes surveyed
his victim for a few seconds, then, hasti-
ly gathering the lifeless form in his arms,
hurried to the rail of the vessel and threw
the body in the inlet. All attempts to
capture the man were baffled by his dex-
terous use of his knife, and he was only
overpowered when a squad of police arri-
ved on the scene.

Additional Funds Could be l'sctl to Ad—
vantage.
The quarterly meeting of the finance
committee of the Connecticut Bible soci-
ety was held at Hartford Saturday, and
satisfactory reports of work were made.
A French missionary has been engaged
to labor among his countrymen. The
management thinks a tract society shoqu
be added to the society. The society
employs no officer to solicit funds and is
entirely dependent upon the generosity
of the public. A singli individual at-
tends to the entire routine work, and the
annual cost of carrying on the work of
the society is less than $4,500, but double
that amount could be used to advantage
and I]. W. Taylor. of Hartford, would
be glad to receive contributions
