was sorry to observe in 'snews item of the Sentinel of last week, headed South Canaan, and Signed s. s. S. referring to a communication published in your paper of two weeks ago about 8 certain Dog that was shot in this place, and supposed to be mad. Since that article appeared, it has been ascertained that the Dog was mad, and has done considerable mischief The facts are as follows; the Dog was owned by a man near Morris, and the first indica- tlons of anything wrong, was, that he bit 8 couple of cats belonging to his master, and several dogs and cats in the neighborhood, animals that were favorites of his; and as he had never attempted to bite any of them before it aroused the suspicious of the neighbors. They made complaint to the owner, but he would not believe the dog was mad, and instead of killing him, as he should have done, locked or tied him up. The dog soon got away, and started on his mad career, and the next seen of him was in Litchfeld, where it is reported that he bit one or two dogs. From thence he start ed for Canaan, and there is no telling what what damage he has done here, as he was seen with dogs, and among cattle, before he re- ceived his quietus. It is suggested that this s. s. S., whoever he is, had better make some endeayors to get out of the Swamps and Sloughs, that surround him, and ''hee to the Highlands" or he will probably run mad himself. That the dog was mad the proof is plain, and it is hoped that in the future, when he corresponds for Q paper, he will restrict himself to the truth, and not make light of so serious subject.

the one side, and for the omission of bank stock on the other, there remains an in- creased assessment of at least S45O. OOO Of this over r-assessment the Board of Equal lzation relieved us of not quite one -secsnh,
 granting reduction only on land and cat tie. Our houses still average double the
 assessed value of houses in Morris-our
 horses nearly, and our cattle quite double
 the assessed value of the like animals in
 Kent. We mention the case of Litchfeld,
 particularly, because it is the one with
 which we are most familiar, and because it
 was exactly the case which the Board was
 expected to correct, and which it has pro-
 ved utterly inadequate to correct. We
 have no doubt our readers in other parts
 of the county will discover short comings
 almost as fragrant in their respective local
 ities.
 1t seems to us that we need occasional thorough assessments by State authorities, at least of real estate We all know how these town assessments are made year by year. The old lists form the basis of the new. Land is scarcely ever changed hous- es, seldom. Nothing goes in at its true val ue; yet each town has its OWL practice as regards the amount of abatement from that value. No thorough careful comparison has ever been made between the assess ments of different towns in this county or state; and the matter has at last reached that point where relief is imperatively necessary. We do not believe that the lands of Litchfield are by any means one half more valuable per acre than those of Goshen, and worth as much per acre within 50 cents, as those of Watertown; nor that the houses in Washington are nearly double the average value of houses in Warren or lands in Washington, quite double the val ue per acre of lands in Warren-all which would appear from our present lists.
 An assessment by the State once in ten or even once in twenty years would estab- fish a basis for boards of equalization such as they do not now possess, and enable them to act intelllgently in the adjustment of our State taxation. This question has already, we notice, attracted the attention of the Legislature, and with our present heavy State taxation, it is matter that towns which, like Litchfeld, are certainly over assessed, can no longer afford to neg lect

 On Sunday next, Capt. Salmon Buel of this place, will be oue Hundred yeturs o!d His general health is very good and he is as vigorous and strong as men twenty years younger, will average. His hearing and sight are somewhat impaired, so that he has not of late years been in the habit of attending the church. Unless some un- looked for change occurs, however, he will on his birthday appear in the church at which, for more than four score years, he was a constant attendant. MT. Buel is great-grand-son of Dea John Buel, one of the first settlers of this town, and it may be recollected that notice was taken in this paper some years since, of the inscription on the tombstone of Mary Buel, his wife, who died in 1768, and was buried in our West Burying Ground. From this inscription, it appears that Mrs. Buel left three hundred and thir- ty living lineal descendants, at the time of her decease. Of these, Capt. Salmon Buel Is the last survivor
