Board of Health.

Nufsances i'm Different Parts of the City
 Consfdered-Proposals for the Removal
 of Garbage to be Advertised.
 The regular weekly meeting of the Board of Health was held last evening Present Professor Brewer (presiding), Mayor Bigelow, H. M. Welch, L. W. sperry and Dr. Linds- ley.
 The clerk reported that Health Officer Lindsley and himself had visited the premises corner of Whalley avenue and Sperry streets, but as Dr. Lindsley was not present he would prefer to defer the report. 44se
 The clerk also reported that pond hole had been complained of in the lower part of the city between Dickerman's joiner shop and the gas works, the place covering nearly an acre. It is full at high water and nearly dry at low water. There is no ingress or egress to it for water except through the soil. Both Mr. Dickerman and the Gas Company have privies over the pond, and there are com plaints that this makes it nuisance.
 Mr. Welch said he could speak for the Gas Company so far as to say that if they had any nuisance at the place named 1t would be abated.
 The matter was laid over until the next meeting. The reports of the inspectors for the past week were read and ordered on file.
 Dr. Lindsley coming in, reported in regard to the privy vaults corner of Whalley avenue and Sperry streets. He said that they found that the vaults were so near to the adjoining tenement on Sperry street as to make 1t of fensive. The committee thought the sewer should be extended so that the building on the corner could be connected with it. They found, however, on investigation, that the sewer would have to be built through University Place and down Elm street to Dwight street, under the sewer system as adopted. This seemed to be impracticable at present, and there appeared to be no other way but to disinfect the vaults. This plan was adopted.
 Forms of proposals for the removal of garbage from every house in the city (unless occupants be excused by the Board ot Health) were presented by the clerk.
 After discussing the matter it was voted to instruct the clerk to advertise for bids for the removal of garbage for two years and nine months from August 1st, 1880. The bids will be opened on Tuesday evening, June 8. Adjourned

Fire i'm Milford.

An alarm of fire was sounded on Monday afternoon in Milford about 3:3O o'clock. The fire proved to be the barn upon the residence of James Parson corner of New Haven ave- nue and River street, and was occupied by Mr. William A. Hart. It was burned down. By the time the engine got to work the fire had gained such headway that the dwelling house adjoining took fire, but the fremen worked hard and the house was saved but very badly scorched. Almost at the same time, owing to strong northwest wind, the houses of J. H. Fowler and Asa Green, di- rectly opposite, caught fire and it was by the utmost endeavors of the firemen that they were saved Loss six hundred insured.

AR.,,c of Indian Times.

Mrs. Charles Martin, of Chaplin, has a towel which was spun and woven by Fanny Williams, afterwards Mrs. Foster, who was one of the survivors of the Indian massacre at Susquehanna during the revolution A person told Mrs. Williams that her hus- band had been killed by the Indians, and that she must flee. She took her two little children, put 8 bed upon a horse, and, in company with other ladies and children, started for Ashford, Conn. There were only women and children in the company, and they had just time to take a little food, and left their houses just as they were about to be destroyed by the savages. After 8 short time the horse, through insufficient food, became unable to go further, and they let him loose in the woods, threw away the bed, and continued their journey on foot. Mrs Williams had no covering for her head but handkerchief, and the others were no better provided. Before they reached any settle ment a babe WAS born and lived to reach it's destination Friends from Ashford heard of their trouble and went to meet them.

A Centenarian.

Mir. Martin Burr, of Bloomfield, has box turtle on his farm that is certainly 100 years old, and how much older the oldest inhabitant knoweth not. MT. Burr's father, Martin Burr, marked this turtle in the year 17sO, and the turtle has been found number of times since. Martin, jr., who is now 70 years of age, marked him in 1847. The two marks are now plainly visible on the turtle, which Mir. B. exhibited in this office to-day, though that of 1780 is considerably worn. The merly owned by Captain David Grant. So far as the turtle appears he is no larger now than he was when MT. Grant first saw him, and it is probable that he is nearer 200 than 100 years of age. At any rate he is older than Joyce Heth and many other of Wash ington's ''nurses. ."-Hartford Times.

 The regular weekly meeting of the Board of Selectmen was held last evening Present, Selectmen Andrew, presiding, Reynolds, Feldman, Hugo Crawford and Hart
 A member of the Blake Hardware Compa- ny appeared before the Board and objected to the proposed grade of Blake street in West vile as adopted by the Board. He said the filling would bring the roadway on line with the window sills of his factory. They had frequently to draw heavy loads from their foundry and would be greatly inconvenienced by the grade proposed. He suggested grade of feet inches to 100 feet Action on the matter was deferred on account of the ab- sence of the chairman on Roads and Bridges, Mir. Cooper.
 The Board voted to have 100 posters with the dog laws printed thereon posted about the town and to have cautionary notice to dog owners published in the newspapers.
 The Town Agent reported that he had visited New York with Chief Engineer Hen- drick in reference to the purchase of a hose cart for the almshouse. They found that they could procure hose cart for ninety dollars and 400 feet of hose for two hundred and eighty dollars.

 The following applications for liquor Ii. censes were granted: Charles Kieslee, Cedar street. David Brown, 255 Wallace; William s. Nesbitt, East Grand Michael McNerney, 467 State; John R. Gildea, 131 Congress ave nue; John Mccarthy, BIO Congress avenue.
 The matter of grading Blake street was discussed and the Board voted to visit the street in company with the City Surveyor and hear parties in interest, the trip to be made Thursday afternoon at o'clock.

Poisoning Of a Valuable Dog-A Dastard-
 Ky Outrage.

Sometime Monday night the very valuable bird dog 'Dan" and pup five months old belonging to MT. J. B. Robertson, jr., were poisoned. 'Dan" was one of the best, if not the very best, and most valuable bird dog in this section of the country. He was a blue mottled setter about years old and one of the most sagacious and intelligent of animals. Many incidents are told illustrative of his keen perceptions, great sagacity, affection and other valuable qualities. A gentleman of this city, who has hunted for 30 years past, says in all his experience he never saw a more intelligent dog companion or bird dog. The animal was widely known to sportsmen in this and other sections of the State for his good qualities and high value Both 'Dan" and the pup died early yesterday morning. The pup was five months old. The poisoning creates much indignation and it is sincerely to be hoped that the perpetrators of the dastardly outrage may be brought to justice. Mir. Robertson would not have taken $1, 900 for fDan'' and he was the household pet His stomach has been taken out for critical examination by veterinary surgeon. MT. Robertson has lost three or four other valuable dogs by poisoning in the last few years
