An Uneasy Dog.


 A New Haven man was astonished the other day to hear familiar yelp and see his old dog Fido coming into the yard after an absence since the day before and looking, like Cassius, lean and hungry. No account was given by Fido of where he had been, what scrapes he had been into, or where he had lost the tip of his tail. The animal seemed to depiore the absence of this piece of his caudal appendage and looked guilty whenever his master took observations of his shortened member. Some days afterward a peddler called at the house, at sight of whom Fido crept stealthily away, but not until the peddler had detected him. s'Thunder!" cried the peddler, Eff that ain't the dog that got his tail caught in my trap in the barn, and so it evidently was. Fido had caught his tail in the trap while in the barn, into which he had chased the house cat, and his master thinks he skulked away, ashamed to return until hs had lasted and otherwise made amends.

New Haven and the Census-Pr0fessOH
 Brewer Sends the Statistics to Head-
 quarters.
 Mayor Bigelow forwarded New Haven's census statistics yesterday to Washington. They were prepared by Professor Brewer. There were eleven questions asked, viz: l. Location; 2. Railroads; 8. Character of tributary country; 4. Topography, etc. 5. Climate, highest recorded summer tempera- ture 6. Lowest recorded winter tempera- ture; 2. Influence of adjacent waters g.. Influence of marshes, etc. g. Influence of elevated lands; 10. Influence of prevailing winds on climate; II. History.
 Professor Brewer in his report says that thsre have never been any great ravages by fire and but one serious epidemic, the yellow fever in 1794.
 Our city's area is 82 square miles, not in. cIudinR the harbor. The length of streets and avenues IS 130 miles, and the length of paved streets 134 miles. There are now 34 miles of sewers. There are 70 miles of gas mains. The Water Company's supply from Mill rivers pumping capacity is about 10, ,oO0,' GOO gallons per day, not counting in Winter green Lake and the SaltonstalPs supply in the future. There are about 100 miles of water mains. Relatively the foreign population has increased, but not in greater ratio, than that of the native born.
 The dwelling houses of the city are scat. tered over larger area than is usual in city of this size, a large proportion being separated and surrounded by yards, which fact with the favorable nature of the soil and climate, com bined with municipal care, makes the city an especially healthy one, and the death rate very low indeed when we consider that 8 large per- eentage of the population are engaged in man. ufacturing pursuits.
 The temperature is figured up thus: High est temperature, 1O2 degrees F.. June 26 1864; highest average summer temperature for twenty years, June 90 degrees, July 94

Wei Dc Meyers Treatise on Catarrh, explains the following important facts:
 l. That Catarrhal Colds become poi sonous infection, at first local, and finally constitutional.
 2. That, being Constitutional, the infection is beyond the reach of mere local remedies.
 3. That impurities in the nostrils. are necessarily swallowed into the stomach and inhaled into the lungs, thus poisoning the Digestive, Respiratory and Genito-urinary organs.
 f. That Catarrhal virus follows the mu- cous membrane and causes Deafness, Dyspepsia, Chronic Diarrhea, Bronchitis, Leucorrhoea. and Consumption.
 5. That Smokes, Douches, Limitations, and Inso1uble Snufs. cannot possibly remove infectious inflammation from the organs named.
 $. That an antidote for Catarrh must pos sess an inocu1ative affinity for, and the quality of being absorbed by, the purulent mucous wherever located.
 Based upon these plain theories, pr. Wei De Meyers Catarrh Cure has proved to be infallible. It not only relieves, it cuTos Catarrh at nr,x Homa festimanv:
