There can be no longer doubt that the dog which passed through our village biting every dog that came in his way, last week, was mad. AS he made his way down street from the Gen. ter he was observed hy lady, who has on sev- cral occasions during her life witnessed the freaks of mad dogs. When she first saw him he was running on the sidewalk The walk cross es running stream of water near Mir. Hitch cocks shop, which supplies watering place. The lady called the attention of her companion to the dog, saying she thought 1t appeared like mad dog, and that the passing of that water would test the question. As the dog came near the water, instead of going over 1t, he stopped short, and sprang into the middle of the street, giving the "yap," or peculiar cry of tho mad dog, ,and hastened down the road with increased speed, He passed on to Pomperaug, biting three dogs there, and then was lost to view in the woods of Ragland. Woodbury wakes up to any danger rather slowly, but Is rigorous when fully aroused. The result of this dogs appear ance Aas been that four of our justices passed and published an order pursuant to statute, re- quiring all persons to keep their dogs en their own premises, or securely to muzzle them if
 
 of seven dollars fine, making it lawful for any person to shoot any dog found running at large without a muzzle and granting bounty of one dollar ($l) for every dog so killed, and requir- ing all constables to kill dogs so found at large This is right, though some grumble at being obliged to incommode their miserable clir-pets But 1 had never supposed that our authorities could be induced to take action till some human being had been bitten. l am happy to have guessed wrong.
 Families must look out for their family secrets we have telephone. Our new jeweller, Mir. Powell, has connected his office in Hitchcock's block Qate Woodruff's) with the Parker man. sion, across the street, by telephone.

ItwOuld be an un. safe contriyance if it is going to scatter the words used in family jars" and curtain Ice. lures to the four winds of heaven. The legisla ture would be instantly importuned, if this were the case, to abolish the "pesky thing" from the land, making the having, or constructing of one a penal offence, punishable with death. It can not be true that when people are talking with each other by means off telephone from New Orleans to New York the treacherous instru- ment win be revealing their secrets all along the route

Communicated


 The writer having attended the meeting of the Farmers Club on the 18th is desirous of giving short abstract of the most reliable tes- timony furnished by the Fruit Growers pres ent. The President-Zalmon Peck after hear ing patiently the opposite views of members on tree planting and culture gave the result of his long experience In favor of close rather than wide planting. Having made fruit raising for market many years specially his opinion is entitled to much weight, sustained as 1t is by many other practical men. He said that If he was going to plant an apple orchard he should set his trees l5 feet apart, rather than 30. There is one consideration overlooked by many in fa- vor of close planting. On good soil by letting nature take nearly it's own course the sKIsNIEG process 0f robbing the trees of the strength of the ground by raising grass and other crops would thus be prevented for 1t would soon be so shadowed by the trees that nothing else would grow. As the land would be paying nothing until the fruit grew the necessary care and cultivation would be apt to be given the trees to make them fruit early.

A NEW BRIDGE.

Editor 0f h6 Bee.
 DEAR SIR: We learn by careful enquiry that company was formed about three years ago, called the Mitchell bridge company and they pc. titoned the legislature of this State for a char. ter to build a "free-bridge," or tcll-bridge across the Housatonic river, about three hun. dred feet above the piers of the \. '. & New England railroad, which Is a good location, the river being only 250 feet wide at this point; and the road from the bridge would unite with the main road near the house of Dennis Cavender, that leads to Sandy Hook We think this the best location for q bridge to unite the two towns that can be found between Bennotts bridge and the fording place. further learn that this route has been surveyed and the different grades ta- ken, and the difference in distance by actual measure from Bennett's bridge to Sandy Hook would be one half mile on every trip made; and have in the two towns. The road we now tray q from Bennett's bridge to Sandy Hook is the worst road we have in our town, both Spring and Fall, on account of mud and lee, beside be- ing hard, hilly road. We further learn that the legislature guaranteed to the said company charter to build toll bridge at the point above mentioned, but compel them to pay whatever damage 1t might be to the Bennett bridge con- pany, which the new company declines to do. After this there was town meeting called, one in Newtown and one in Southbury, for the pur pose of considering the expediency of building free-bridge at the point mentioned; and the people thought the old bridge would do year or two longer, and the subject was dropped.
 We urge the people of the towns of Southbury and Newtown, and also of adjoining towns, to send committed and examine the aboye.named location and see if some action can be taken in this matter before 1t is too late.
 Yours, DAN

TREE PLANTING.

Hon. B. G. Northrop, Secretary of State Board of Education, has issued a very interesting cir eular upon the subject of tree planting, which but for its length We would publishin our col pmns. However, the main point is to stimulate tree planting, md so deeply interested is the Professor in this good enterprise that he offers to send to the address ofanyone sending stamps to pay for mailing, scions of a willow tree, of rare beauty. He has procured several thousand scions of the Babylonian Willow (salix Baby lonioa) of Mir. Wm. 5. Johnson, a grandson of President Johnson, which those desiring to set but can procure. You can get six scions at a cost of six or eight cents. Next month is the lime to plant. Send your letters addressed to B. 6. Northrop, New Haven, Conn.
