The Week ending July 7th was the great hay week of the year, only one break in the uniform dryness occurring, and that on Monday evening, when a big cyclnoc and little rain made us a visit.

A new survey of our river and harbor is about to be made by a party of engi- neers who are likely to attend more to the work of their mission than to the unhinz- ing of fence gates. as did a party two or three years ago.

Why? Previous to that time Messrs. G. Law- rence, W. R. McCready and others had badgered him, so he says, by' speaking of Green’s Farms as a one horse depot—only three or four trains per day, you know. But now the Captain takes his revenge by asking those gentlemen why they don’t go to Westport as they used to do—by express, and getting no reply adds, “Had to come down to accommodation trains, didn’t you, come over to Green’s Farms—- a first-class place, with its eighteen trains daily.” ' Almost any day and sometimes several times daily, may be seen at the depot a lady seated in her carriage, who enjoys . the income from $7,000,000—and she as. sumes less airs than many of those who boast of $12 per week.

The first lawn party of the season at Greens Farms was held Tuesday evening on the premises of Mrs. Austin Jennings, the “N. N. C.” Club figuring prominently: and some 200 guests taking part. The. trees and buildings, which are near the depot, were resplendent with flags and Chinese lanterns, and an orchestra of four pieces from New York supplied music. Messrs. J. J. Alvord, E. A. Jennings and E. Harris, in oommitteeof arrangements, provided, ample table refreshments, and Misses Annie Harris and Emma Taylor looked after 'the decorations. Deacing took place in along onion barn which had been swept and adorned :for. the purpose. Elfteen guests came down from Bridge- port by express returningfin the same man. ner through the courtesy of Supt. Steven- son. The affair was well managed and gave pleasure to all. The surface of the ground being dry like a carpet the gay dancers were able to enjoy themselves without danger of taking a cold. There is some talk of repeating the party.
