Stevenson to state that on and after next
Monday the accomiiiialation train for
New York. which now leaves this city at
153 p. in.. will be restored to its former
time. and leave at. £156. This “'1" be
agreeable news to a large number who
are obliged to leave the city and go west
on the Consolidated road after working
hours. A short time ago Station Agent
Benedict‘s attention was called to the are
noyance and danger caused by the train
which arrives in this city from New York
at 0.47 p. in.. running onto the Main st.
crossing to switch. and it has been
stopped. It was this train that struck
John Morton recently. and instead of
switching on the closing as f iriiierly it
is backed down from the depot and run
on the side track used foi’the South Nor-
walk specials. This shows that an ierin-
tendent Stevenson is disposed to i 0 all
in his power to run his railroad for
the accommodation of its minus and
with as little annoyance to t e localities
traversed as possible. and that. his atten~
tion only need be called to such matters
to cause him to give them his immediate
attention.

The Nlt-lgs-l’ntlerlilll lintcrtalniiieiit.
All pleasant anticipations were most
fully realized by those who asseniblisl at
the t‘ongregatioual cliurcli last Monday
evening. The extremely large audience.
representing the intelligence and refine-
ment of our city. was provided with a
bountiful supply of good things. _The
Meigs Sisters sang with a grace and
charm of mania r and voice which was
irrisistible. calling forth round after
round i f applause. They gener» usly re-
sponded to many ei cores. always with
increased pleasure to their listeiierc.
There was but one regret expressed. and
that was that the eucliautiiieut might
not continue until midnight. Mr. l‘ie
ilerhill was excellent as he always is.
"is “Irish l‘liiloSi‘t‘lH‘r." “laud llllll‘
dreary.“ and “The First Seftler‘s Story“
were rendered with exceptionally finer-f-
fect. Mr.l‘nilerliill iscndoivcd \vitlia rich
musical voice. a fine susceptibility of
temperament; and added to this. he is
wise enough to know that. as applied to
all art. “genius is an infinite capacity
fi r taking pains.‘

Telnpennce supper.
The interest manifested in the. fifth au~
nual temperance supper is surprising to
the most sanguine. and it bids fair to be
one of the most successful yet given un~
der the auspices of the Temperance Re-
form ossoeiation. with the co-operation
of the \\'oman‘s Christian Temperance
L-nion. The plan this year is to have a
voluntary offering from the friends of
temperance in aid of the cause. and not.
to personally solicit contributions of food
and fancy articles as heretofore. but
trust to the general interest for the things
needful for its success. As we said at
first the plan promises beyond all expec-
tations. Offers of assistance come in
from almost every source. and the gen-
eral query is what. can we do? Anything
that will seli or that will help thesupper
is what is needed. The grand supper.
when isSll was netted in two evenings.
was when the ladies of our bat factories
interested themselves and took depart—
ments. Their services have never been
forgotten and would be as much appre'
ciated now as ever. Suggestions will be
cheerfully received by \V. S. Bailev.
president. or James Golden. committee.
at the Ssxrixni. office. and every effort
made to have everything work in bar
many and for the promotion of one of
the best causes before the people.
Airinteur Theatrical: at Greenwich.
Quite a large party ob Norwalk ladies
and gentlemen. friends of Mr. James H.
Bailey of the borough. attended the am-
ateur dramatic entertainment at Ray‘s
Hall. fire. nwicli. on Tuesday. the 271h
tilt. The two-act play. “The Fair Maid
of t‘roissey.“ an l the farm" entitled
“Second Thought." were given in a very
entertaining manner. In the former.
Miss Dottie l‘iniieo. who is well l‘nuwn
in Norwalk as an amatuer reader of un-
usual merit. assumed the part of the vi-
vacious Mariette with an appreciation of
the requirements of the role. and an abil-
ity to fully meet them. that left little to
be desired in its rcndition. The difficult
part of Therese fell to Miss Lucy Sawyer.
who. in that character. ninilea creditable
first appearance. Among the gentlemen.
Mr. Ilailey as the inn—keeper. at once
timid and fund. easily carried off the
honors and delighted the audience by
his very clever acting in a fillr‘ every
point in which be made tell: still it may
be doubted if M r. Johnson and Mr. Mead.
to whom the other male characters were
assigned. could have done any better
than they did. lti the after-piece Miss
Maud Mason did some very pretty and
graceful acting. while Miss Elennr John.
son's vigorous rendering of the too-will-
ing widow won well deserved applause.
The (irt‘l’llfiVlt‘ll library is about $100
better off by reason of the entertainment.

Annual R.- or! of the (‘ounectlvut Shell
lsh (‘nnunlaaluuenu
The annual report of the (‘onnecticut
Shell Fish t‘omiiiissioners has been re
ceived. and contains much that is inter-
esting regarding oyster cultivation. one
of Connecticut's great industries. The
number of applications made for oyster
grounds between November 1832 and
November 1883 was 1S3. The wholearea
of groundsdeeded the t year was 14¢
00? acres. which nett to the State #16.-
$2.16. During the three years of their
service the .t‘oinniissioners have sold 88¢
MS acres. which netted the State the sum
of $40.40339. Besides this 12.539 acres
more have beenfiillowed. and therefore
ordered. which will not the further sum
of $13,703.78. The eight natural beds
determined by the (‘ouimissioners are
as follows: Cornwall Reef. 1?) acres; l‘ort
(‘liester 218; Great Captains. 152: Field
l‘oint. Si: Greenwich Point. 403: Fail-
field bar and Fairficld natural ht d. 1.2: 7:
Bridgeport. 334; Stratfoid 3.0M. Taxes
were laid upon oyster grounds within
State jurisdiction for the benefit of the
State for the first time during the past
year. Every dollar due the State was
collected and paid into the tremury
amounting in the whole to the sum of
$381.47. and this without ream-ting to
legal measures. There are today not
far from twenty thousand acres under
cultivation.
