The Y. 'M. C. A. Annual is out, having
_ been printed at the Gszs’r’rs office. It is
not only a good looking paper, but it is
filled with a goodly amount of most inter-
esting reading matter relative to the asso-
ciation and its work and record.
er. Robert P. Potter is to be the super.
intendent of the eleventh census. He is a
statistician of industry and experience
who has devoted himself largely to studies
of the ‘tarifl question, and the great work
devolved upon him will doubtless be done
with energy and exactness.
Colonel Anderson preached his last
sermon as pastor of the Congregational
church on Sunday. There was a large
congregation in attendance, who listened
intently to the farewell discourse. The
genial colonel will be greatly missed by a
wide circle of admiring friends.
The first girls’ trust extant is now on
record. The sales ladies of Weschler &
Abraham’s dry goods store in Brooklyn
formed a combination to steal. They had
a system of exchange merely to supply
their own necessities, not to sell the goods
on the outside. The trust is not now.
The magazine of Bestty & Co.'s quarry
st Leete’s Island was set on fire Friday
night. and nearly a ton of powder was
'exploded. The shock was felt for 20
miles in every direction, and the lights of
glass in 30 houses in the vicinity were
shattered by the concussion. Loss $1,000.
The Danbury I‘rcw remarks that “the
jounalistic profession is coming in for a
great deal of notoriety just now. several

plums from the administration tree,
another has been arrested for a $40,000
forgery and the editor of a San Francisco
paper was presented by his wife last week
with triplets.”
One of the attractions at a dime museum
in a New England city is “the biggest'
footed girl living,” and the manager offers
five thousand dollars and a well stocked
farm in Ohio to any man who will marry.

who hint that the farm is donated by a
Chicago syndicate in order to insure the
bride’s staying a good way from home. ‘
A large, old fashioned, unoccupied
structure at Darien, known as the Old
Castle, was destroyed by fire Wednesday
evening. The building was owned by
James C. Jones, and during the war was
occupied as a place of defense. The loss
is about $5.000. No insurance. The fire
was of incendiary origin.
The electric light company will begin at
once wiring the town for putting in
incandescent lights. Eight miles of new
wire has been received for this purpose
and large numbers of orders for the lights
have been obtained. Music Hall is to
have 150 burners, and orders have been
given to have the Opera House illumintcd
entirely by the incandescent lights.
There was a large exodus of Nor-walkers
to New York on Tuesday to see the par.
adc, leaving the town practically deserted.
After they came home they got from the
New York papers an idea how the parade
looked. The Sun says the column was
eleven miles long, contained 50,000 sol-
diers, and was five and one-half hours in
passing.

Ex-U. S. Senator, Wm. H. Barnum,
chairman of the democratic national com-
mittee. died at his home in Lime Rock on
Tuesday morning at the age of 71 years.
He had been sick since the campaign, but
up to a few days ago strong hopes were
entertained of his complete recovery.
The death of Mr. Barnum ends a busy and
successful life. _______~
The town has been practically deserted
this week, and tlicreis mightyslim picking
forlocal news-gatherers. The people who
do things worth writing about are all in
New York having some fun, and those
who remain are, like the scribes them-
selves, quiet, harmless, law abiding citi-

keep out of the papers. It is a “hustler’
who can get up an exciting paper -under
these circumstances.
Willard Perkins, a Waterbury restaur-
auteur, died Saturday night from. conges--

Kate Field is criticised by over squeam-

valuable she proves herself as an agent
for a wine company, the less of a success
she is as a woman. Why should the
public have any scruples about ladies

Comstocks, and many of his ideas were
decidedly original.
001. Sam. Dnsknm dropped into the Re-
cord office yesterdaygand heaving a sigh
of relief, remarked that he felt as if he had
just been released from a long confinement
in jail. He had just been discharged from
duty as foreman of the jury at the late
term of the superior court at Bridgeport,
which had eclipsed all former records by
lasting seven weeks. In that time only
four cases had been disposed of. all of
which were important cases, involving
large interests, vim—the Huested vs. Mead
barn burning case which had been in the
courts for the past fifteen years; the Weed
case, from Stamford,bcing an action to
break a will; the Birdsall vs. Wheeler
case arising from an alleged bond forfeit-
ure; and the Smith will ease, of Stratford.

» The New Haven' Register’s Hartford cor-
respondent says that the Housatonic
people are puzzling their brains to discover
what caused the change in the railroad
committee just before the report on their
petition was sent in last week. What is
now the minority report was originally
intended for the majority report, for the
document now in the hands .of the clerk
was written, "We, a majority of the mem-
bers of the railroad committee," but the
word “majority” was crossed with a pen,
and the ink marks show that the change
was made sometime after the report was
drawn up.
In the hands of men like Mayor Grant,
of New York, the sxc is mightier than
the threat. The way to get rid of the
electric poles in a city’s streets, in his
judgment, is to get rid of them, not to
waste years in talking about it. The
companies know that they have been
defying the law, and that, if they make
too much of a fuss, their managers are
liable to be locked up. Mr. Grant’s
conduct is undoubtedly a surprise to his
best friends. He gave them no special
promise of falling into the line of mayors
who have become candidates for the
governorship; but, if he keeps on in the
way he has begun, hemay find the honor
seeking him without any effort of his
own . ______
The once cliivnlric New Orleans Picayune
says: “Kate Field, a California wine
agent, is kicking about the bad liquor the
barkeepers sell her in the West.” If it
were a man who said such a thing as that
we would feel it our bound duty to resent
both the language and the imputation it
conveys. But the New Orleans Picayune
is conducted by a woman, so there is
nothing for us to do but to stand back
and let the tide of aEairs ebb and flow as
it listeth—thnt is to say, there is nothing
for us to do unless the two ladies would
like to have us hold their bohnets while
they have it out with each other. What
brave and daring man will just turn ’em
loose into the pasture lot and iioisslcssly
put tip the bars behind them.
The resignation of Gen. Franz Sigel
from the New York pension agency takes
place under circumstances that will
command for him universal respect and
sympathy. The conduct of his unworthy
son, who has recently been committed to
prison on conviction of forgery, undoubt~
edly precipitated this step, but it is
gratifying to know that the gallant old
veteran bears with him the confidence of
the Government, and that no reproach
attaches to his conduct of the agency.
He was deceived and betrayed by those
in whom he had reason to place the
, highest trust, but although his gray hairs
will go down in sorrow to the grave. his
epitaph will be written as one who loved
his country well and served her faithfully.
All our local clinich choirs have
undergone more or loss change in the
personnel of-tlie singers. At St. Paul’s
church the choir is at present made up as
follows: Mrs. Nettie L. Huntington.
directress; organist, Miss Gertrude Camp;
soprano, Miss Ella J. Byxbec; contrnlto,
Mrs. Huntington; tenor. Mr. Smart:
basso, Mr. Oliver Jackson, with chorus of
pupils under tuition of Mrs. Huntington.
The Congregational choir remains the
same as last year with the exception of
the leading soprano, Miss Mlniiic Fritz,
who goes to the Methodist choir, licr
lace being filled by Miss llcadlry of
anbury. The Methodist choir rein-tins as
last year with the exception of the
acquisition of Miss Fritz as leading
soprano. The singing at the Baptist
church will be c0ngrcgationai,'led by
cornet, until a leading soprano can be
secured. Mr. E M. Juckson,latc Organist

the styles change less, but because the

The state board of health, estimating
the population on the basis of the returns
from 160 towns, place the population of
the state at 758,662 for 1888. There was
a total increase of 40,000 in 61 towns and
decrease of 10,000 in 34 towns. The only
falling off in towns of over 5,000 is re-
ported from Thompson, and it is apparent
that large towns have grown at the
expense of smaller ones. These towns of
over 5,0000itizens do not claim t: have an
increase: Enficld, Greenwich,Killingiy,
Manchester, New London, Norwich,
Putnam, Southingtou, Stamford and
Windham. Every other town of similar
size shows a gain, and Bridgeport leads
with 6,000. New towns to reach the
5,000 mark are lStatIord, Plainficld and
Torrington. The little town of Union
shows no loss.
Club &Company, the Boston publishers
have just issued the first volume of Algo-
braic Analysis, by G. A. Wentworth, A.
M., professor of mathematics in Phillips
Exeter Academy; J. A. McLellan, LL. D.,
inspector of normal schools and conduc-
tor of teachers’ institutes for Ontario,
and J. C. Glashan, inspector of public
schools, Ottawa, Canada. This work,
which has been previously announced as
Wentworth & McLellan‘s University Ai—
gebra, is intended to supply students of
mathematics with a well filled store house
of solved examples and unsolved exer-
cises in the application of the fundamental
theorems and pure processes of pure
algebra, and to exhibit to them the highest
and most important results of modern
algebraic analysis. The work will be is-
sued in two volumes, the first of which
closes with an extensive collection of ox“
ercises in determinals.
A meeting of the grand lodge, F. and
M., will be held in Hartford, May 8th. to
’ take action on the following petition:
The undersigned, members of Hiram
lodge, No. 1, located at New Haven, prior
to to the revocation of its charter by the
gland lodge, ackndwledge their allegiance
to the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of
Connecticut and respectfully show that
they have the prosperity of the order at
heart, and are willing to exert their best
endeavors to promote and diffuse the
genuine principles of Masonry.
Your petitioners, therefore, pray that
this Most Waishipful Grand Lodge will be
pleased to restore to them the charter
formerly issued to Hiram lodge. No. 1.
They would respectfully nominate and
recommend Brother I. F. Graham to be
their master, Brother Albert L. Prenss to
be their senior warden, and Brother David
F. Wiser to be their junior warden; and
should the prayer of their petition be
granted, they promise strict compliance
with the constitution, laws and edicts of
the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Con-
necticut and the landmarks and usages of
the order.
There is a boom in the oyster trade in
Long Island Sound, and the steamers of
the New Haven fleet are unusually busy.
Over 100,000 bushels of seed oysters have
been shipped to Rhode Island and Massa-
chusetts ports from New ' Haven and
Sound beds. ’One firm of dealers has con-
tracted to furnish 3,000 bushels of four.
year-old stock for a Nomich firm. These
oysters are‘to bellaid down in the upper
waters of the Thames fiver. The Oyster
Point growers are to send 98,000 bushels
of seed to Narragansett Bay and Cape
Cod ports. This is twice the amount over
before shipped to these ports in a
a single season. It is safe to say that the
value of the shipment will reach $50,000.
This will bdom the oyster business which
has been dull the past winter. Rhode
Island lot owners are working under a
new plan, which is much after the Con-
necticut system that is being so widely
imitated. They are allowed to take up
the ground, and this has created a great
demand for Connecticut stock. The
shipments will begin about May 15.
The reunion of along separated father
and son, each of whom had for years been
in ignorance of the whereabouts of the
other, is the topic- of conversation in Wii-_
ton. David Jenks,’ the milkman, who has
a route in Norwslk, left his home in New
York sixteen years ago when he was nine
years old, and came to Wilton where he
was totally unknowu, finding a home with.
the family of a Well-to-do farmer who
brought him up. From the time he left
his parents in New York, the latter have
searched and in various ways endeavored
to find some trace of their boy, but in
vain. Some two years ago David was
seized with a desire to find his-parents.
and went to New York for that purpose,
but his search and. inquiries were futile.
A few days ago, however. he received a
letter from his father, stating that he had
just heard, by the merest chance, of his
son’s whereabouts, and that he would at
once come upto pay-him a visit. He
came on Tuesday and the meeting be-
tween father and son was very affecting.
bringing tears to the eyes of those who
witnessed it. The joy of the father at
finding his long lost son, was intensified
by the prospects and circumstances of the
latter and the esteem in which he is held
in the community, David being a young
man of property and with a profitable
and well established business. David will
go to New York today to meet his mother,
who eagerly awaits his coming—Record.
Anent the will of the late James 'B.
Selleck, who recently committed suicide
in Darien, various sensational rumors are
~ published. The one gaining the widest
credence is to the effect that “There are
twenty-eight. heirs to his property, but
when his will was read in -the Probate
Court, at Stamford, many of them who
were present were surprised to learn that
they had not been mentioned in the'
document. The party, who, according
to the will receive the largest amount is
Miss Sarah Dasksm. The amount left
her is $12,000. Six years ago, after Mr.
Selleck's wife died, he paid considerable
attention to'Miss Daskam. and it was
supposed that they would be married.
According to all reports, Miss Daskam
refused to marry Selleck without he gave
her a certain sum of money. Mr. Selleck
would: not agree to it, and the match was
broken off. Her refusal to marry him
worked upon his mind and caused him
many moments of sorrow. Selleck's
father also committed suicide by cutting
his throat. The relatives believe it will
be an easy matter to prove that Selleck
was not sane when thewill was made.”
—W. B. Hall & 00., the dry goods men
of Bridgeport, who keep such an assort-
ment of cloaks,silksand fine dress goods,
have just made a twenty thousand pur—
chase of silks and Henriettas, are out
to-day with a telling advertisement that is
worth reading. The Standard, of the
25th inst., thus speaks of the firm:
There can be no question raised as to
the necessity of a firs‘cclass dry goods
store in any community. It is a sort of
educator—a centre around which thrifty
people like to gather. W. B. Hall 83 00.,
is such a centre. and a visitor to Bridge-
port has not seen the town until after a
stroll through their various rooms. To
be sure the outward appearance of the
store does not strike the stranger, as
beauty and loftiness are not features, but'
the investigator will find more on a single
floor. and five times as much far down
below the sideWalk as would serve to
pack full as many ordinary dry goods
stores. In this respect outward appear-
ances are deceitful. But call for any-
thing in the dress goodsliiie manufactured
on curtli,_snd the clerk addressed will
instantly produce it. and the price will be
found right. Silks, dress silks predom~
nte. New textures, weaves and tints
abound and the mystery about all is where
so many exquisite examples are obtained.
A description of those now offered would
fail to give more than an idea of their
superb character. Fashionable garments
ready made for ladies are, as warm
weather approaches, attracting attention,
and added to these the fads in puraso‘ls,
gloves, lace‘s.- sutecns, wool dress goods,
and hundreds of little hitherto unheard of
novelties make a display creditable to the
proprietors and to the city which ihcir
store embellishes. '

Miss Aus do: 0119.
It has not been the fortune of; Norwalk
in a long while to have in, prospect a '
musical event of the firstclass. Since
her coining is unheralded by the usual
amount of managerial puflu‘g his not out
of the way to give some of the details of
Miss Ans der Ohe's remarkable career.
with some observations on her power as
an artist.
The Century Magazine for March, a year
ago, in an article by Robert Morris Bagby,
ranks her with the greatest pupils of
Liszt, who himself reserved for her his
discriminating praise. He is said to have
remarked frequently her intrepidiiy and
fearless certainty, and'in one of the last
musicales that he gave said in an aside,
“She hasa wonderful touch; it is like
velvet.”
When three and a half years old she re
peated after an older sister an entire waltz
of Arditi’s. At ten she was known at;
Kullak’s conservatory in Berlin as the
child prodigy, and it was then that Amy
Fay heard her play a Beethoven concerto,
‘ as she says “absolutely perfectly."
She came to this country in October,
1886, and immediately took. the rank here
to be anticipated from her phenomenal
successes in Berlin. At every concert she.
was enthusiastically recalled again and
again. Those whom other experiences
had persuaded did not like whole evenings
of the piano alone. paid homage as loyal
as the rest. The metropolitan press was
hearty, unreserved and unanimous in her . ,
. committee favorably reported on paying.
praise.
The Times says: “She produced a vivid
and profoundlimpression by execution in
which tremendous physical strength was
allied to considerable sensibility and intel-
ligencg to a fine technique, and a breadth
and freedom of style totally at variance
with her youthful appearance."
The Sun says : “She plays as naturally
as a naturally as a bird files, with a sort
of willful freedom and healthy dash that
are extremely fascinating.”
The Tribune says : “Her reading of the
E flat concerto of Liszt’s‘ was broad and
impassioned, and. maintained itself against
an accompaniment which would have
overwhelmed most of the men players
now before the American public.”
In Boston, the nicetios of criticism
which are so dear to the press of that city,
well lavished upon Miss Ans der Obe’s
playing, toa degree not often shown in
that place of reserved praise.
‘ In Philadelphia, where Josefl'y reigns
supreme, she easily divided the honors
with him. ,‘ '
We have made a genuine attempt to ob-
tain from our own lovers of an expression
of views on Miss Aus der Ohe’s art, and
have consulted Mr. Gibson, Miss Belts,
Miss Miller, Mr. Jackson, Mr. Vogel, Miss
Gertrude Camp and others. It is unfair,
perhaps, to quote at length their opinions,
particularly in the comparison of Miss
Aus der Ohe with J oseffy. For. ourselves,
we do not hesitate to say that while J osefi'y’s
ultra refinement- of technique and his
mere agility at the piano are admitted, we
decidedly prefer the masterly style and
power of Miss Ans der Ohe to the mere
brilliancy of execution of Josefiy. With
her the musical idea is dominating, and to
its intrepretation, or rather, its reaction,
she brings warmth of sentiment, without
sentimentalism, marvelous power, without
noise and pedals. She plays with dash,
enthusiasm, and the fire of inspiration.
We like to hear best her of tho unpro-
nonnceable name. ,
Bagby’s article, above referred to, is
illustrated with an airy, dreamy, full-page
drawing by Saudhnm of Ans dcr Ohe at a
shadowy piano, where she seems to be
playing “The Spinning Song” from
Wagner’s “Flying Dutchman," which we
hope to hear here Friday night as an
‘ encore.
Miss Aus der Ohe is the daughter of a
distinguished Berlin professor of the
Royal Artillery school, and is, at the
German capital, as great a social as a
musical favorite. She will be entertained
while in Norwalk by Mrs. Charles 0.
Betts on the Green. x.

Thursday afternoon the»fire alarm
sounded, and with their, usual promptness,
the fire compsnies ran to the scene of
excitement with their apparatus. The fire
proved to be a spark that had blown from
a smoker’s pipe, or a tinner’s charcoal
furnace on the roof of the Brunswick,
which had dropped to the roof of the
building adjoining on Main street. The
damage was less than a cent, as a work-
man detected it and stamped it out with
his foot before it had ignited a shingle.
The firemen got into a wrangle; however,
that proved more exciting than a more
formidable coufiagrution. There has
always been a healthy rivalry between
Hope hose and Phoenix engine companies,
in the matter of which could get the first
stream on a fire. On this occasion Phcenix
had connected with a hydrant and started
a stream through a spray nozzle. In
some way the nozzle was turned so it wet-
down the Hope boys who were close by,
getting ready to send a stream to the roof.
They evidently took the baptism as a.
challenge from Phoenix. and promptly
responded by turning their stream on
their rivals and giving them a thorough
soaking. This vigorous application of
cold water had the effect of raising the
dan er of certain of the impulsive mem-
bers of both companies and they rushed
together for battle. Only a‘few blows
were exchanged, however, before Chief
Lockwood and Ofiicer Morciiouse, who
chanced to be near. elbowed their wn
through the crowd that rapidly gathere ,
each collared a warrior and hustled him
off the battlefield, which prompt action
had its effect in bringing the rest of
combatants to their senses and hostilities
were suspended. It started in just the
right manner to develop into a serious
nifair, but the prompt and summary action:
of tho olice nipped it in the bud. Some
there e, however, who wise]
their heads and knowingly pre let that
this skirmish is only the active beginning
of a firemen's war, and that the next
alarm of fire Will be a call to battle.—

Last week a horse owned by Charles
W. Sherwood, was shot by an agent of
the state humane society.
The delegates to the convention appoint-
:31!“ at the annual meeting fof' Memorial
5church are John S. Jones and William G.
Staples. '
Miss Agnes Hyde,:tho elocutionist, of
Cambridge, Mass., has recovered from her
recent injuries, and is expecting to visit
Westport during the latter part of May.
The flop‘sl bell in Christ church, under
which William J. Wood and Annie W.
Nash were married last Wednesday, was
- made by R. Hauford, the Norwsik florist.
It weighed 25 pounds and was brought
over by William 11; Marvin, who assisted
in plsoibg'itgp position.
A bill just passed by the legislature
makes‘it possible for persons out of em-
ployment to make good use of their time
by either shooting the chickens which fly
into and scratch other people's gardens or
by entering complaints sud making the
owners of the fowls pay .7 and costs.
An item last week relating to the resig-
nation of Rev. A. N. Lewis as rector of
Memorial church contained a slight error
in that part of where the testimonial ask-
ing him to reconsider his action is spoken
of. All but two parishioners to whom it
was presented for signatures signed their
names—not all but 'two connected with
the parish-as stated.-'
In response to the proclamation of the
President and the recommendation of the
Governor, special services were held
Tuesday morning at 9 o’clock in Christ,
Memorial, Congregational, M. E., the
M. E. at Saugatuck, and the Congrega-
fu'rnishcd byaiof'wn for children of an-'
TE, WEDNESDAY, MXYZ 1889.—
tionnl church at Greens Farms, in com-
memoration of the centennial of Wash-
ingtou'simiuguration. The latter parish
ante dates Washington’s presidency by
many years, there being some tomb stones
in the old ground near by whose inscrip-
tions were cut before he was born. The
day was observed as a holiday generally
by those who did not go to New York,
and fireworks in many quarters at evening
made it a sort of Fourth of July in ad-
vance. In the Church of the Assumption,
in accordance with Bishop McMahon’s
Circular order, special high mass will be
celebrated by Rev. Father Carroll.
As this is Washington week, it may be
of interest to state that in 1777, on his
way from New York to Boston to take
command of the Continental army, Wash-
ington passed through this town and
stopped over night in an inn on the turn-
pike occupicd until 1800 by the family of
the late Henry Nash. Mr. David M. Mar.
vin bought the property and transformed
the house into an attractive modern
dwelling, using the old materials so far as
it was possible in forming the new. The
oaken floor boards to the room in which
Washington slept that night Mr. Marvin
caused to be relaid in what is now the
front parlor at the right of the front en-
trance where they may now be seen. A
china bowl from which Washington took
a drink of milk that. day is now in the
possession of Mr. A. S. Hurlbutt.
The first marriage in town after the
Lenten season took place in Christ church
Wednesday afternoon, the parties being
William J. Wood, son of Mr. and Mrs.
William T. Wood and grandson of Town
Clerk W. J . Finch, and Annie W., daugh-
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Edward A. Nash, and
organist of the church. The ceremony
was performed by the rector of thejchurcli,
Rev. Thomas A. Hyde, the bridal pair
standing under a large floral bell, and sur-
rounded by many beautil‘ui floral devices.
The bride appeared in a dress of white
corded silk en train. duchess lace, veil,
flowers and smilnx. She was given away
by her father. The ushers were Paul
Nash, of Yale, brother of the bride,Fred-
erick M. Wood. brother of the groom,
Frank C. Coley and Arthur. Miss Lulu
Sturges presided at the organ, rendering
many fine selections, closing with the
wedding march as the couple and an im-
mouse congregation passed from the
church. At the house of the bride’s par.
cuts a pretty reception was held, after
which the couple left for their bridal tour.
The gifts to the bride were numerous and
elegant. On their return Mr. and Mrs.
Wood will reside in Westport.
The success of the first entertainment
given under the auSpices of the Board of
Trade in National Hall last Thursday
evening may be thus briefly summed up—
uet receipts,about 8150, all of which is
to be used to defray the expense of public
Improvements A very large audience
was delighted, not only by the features of
programme, but by the magnificent drap-
ing of the stage by the use of exactly 13
American flags, representing the 13 origi-
nalstates. filled in by other appropriate
draperies, the central object being a per.
trait'of George Washington towards the
memory of whom every American’s heart
is now turned. For this exquisite work
we are indebted to the taste and painstak-
ing of Mrs. John D. Wood and Miss Kate
F. King. The entertainment opened with
stereopticon views with descriptive lec-
tures by Rev. 0. M. Selleck, of Norwalk,
who was assisted in the mechanical part
by Professor Baldwin. Following it was
a musical programme, the performers be-
ing Misses Lulu and Eva Sturgcs, Miss .
Emma Cusick and Miss M. M. Bradley,
the latter rendering a selection for the
piano by Rubenstein, Mr. Henry Scheld
giving a selection on the violin. Miss
Lulu Sturges was heard in a vocal solo.
All were encored. Professor Crnw, of
Norwalk, was announced for No recita-
tions, but he did them so well that he was
forced to answer recalls, making his work .
five numbers all told. The artists gave
their services in aid of the good cause.
It is more that likely that other entertain-
ments for the same cause and perhaps by
some of the same performers. will be given
during the season.
Thursday evening next the Board of
Trade will hold a regular meeting at which
time it is expected a report of progress in
the scheme for a new railroad will be
submitted. In advance of this meeting it
may be pr0per to state that a corps of
eight engineers, sent by Mr. Chapman, be-
gan Monday, 22d, at Redding Ridge to
survey the line from that point to Hawley.
