DOE Brandy and HOW He Died.

Bloodhound Who Wanted to Eat Men
 and Began at Last Upon His Keeper.
 The life and career of dog Brandy at the Clock shop was terminated recently, the animal conningto an inglorious end owing to his untamable, ferocious nature. Brandy was bloodhound of full breed and great size. He had an aversion to being meddled with and after Brandy's exploits and vic tories over policemen, his renown spread and he was generally regarded as member of the community who was not to be trihed with, with impunity. Brandy at times was playful and even made advances looking to- ward establishing permanent friendly rela- tions, from all of which the moralist might have reasoned that Brandy was not an illus tration of total depravity, but brute whose bad qualities were attributable to heredited proclivities and were susceptible of ameliora- tion-in fact who might in time, by the ap- plication of most judicious curriculum of moral and theological instruction, backed by the potent and eloquent force of eminently humane and benevolent example, have been reclaimed. In fact, some approaches toward establishing permanent good understanding with Brandy were made by sundry persons, and met with such encouragement and suc- cess as to lead to the presumption that Brandys wild nature was being subjugated.
 Alas for human expectations No sooner was Brandy deemed subjugated and civilized than he would upset all predictions and threaten to make mincemeat perhaps of some particular friends. This, some of his friends insist, was owing to abuse and con- tumely heaped upon0 him the night before, perhaps, by some wild young Arabs, who de- lighted in annoying him in order to hear his roar. His feats of prowess were many, and it is even reported that he disarmed policeman of his club, which the officer in burst of friendship had poked through the pickets at Brandy's nose. Whether Brandy kept the club or returned it to his owner, the annals do not relate, but he had an aversion to policemen ever after, which it is supposed was due to professional jealousy, Brandy considering himself a suf- ficient protection to the establishment. But recently Brandy without moments warn man, Jimmy O'Brien, who for many years has nightly watched the premises Jimmy had dealt the dog no blow, nor disputed Brandy's choice for Common Councilman in the ward. Entirely unprovoked he seized O'Brien by the arm in his fearful grip, which was like vice. O'Brien quick as thought seized the collar and held the dog and shouted for help. MT. Webb, engaged at the build ing nights, heard the outcry and rushed to the spot. Brandy had his teeth in O O'Brien's I,l fol e.. many day. Webb seized club or crowbar, or something, and belabored Brandy, but he held his grip until he had been terribly pum- melled After this it was concluded that the Chinese must go, and Brandy was dispatched and went to the happy hunting grounds.

West Haven Notes.

The welcome rain of the past week has
 been great boon to the residents of the bor- ough as well as the denizens at the shore ] The well kept lawns begin t' look green, and
 everything looks brighter. The shore was
 crowded all last week with small picnic par
 ties as well as some large ones, some coming
 down in large two-horse wagons gaily decor
 ated with flags and evergreens, and their oc-
 cupants making the welkin ring. with their
 joyous shouts and singing as they were re-
 turning home in the shade of evening.
 The hotel and restaurant keepers are happy,
 having all they can do to cater for the multi tude. One favorite fashion is that of hiring rooms at some house and doing their own cooking, the landlord furnishing the imple- ments at reasonable price, and those. of limited means can spend a week or two at this famous resort for a small outlay A great many that are well of in worlds goods prefer this mode of living, for it is more homelike. The citizens of Oriental Park last season got up series of nluminatiofs which they intend to keep up this summer, and think that some of the leading cottagers of the shore ought to club together and procure a first-class band to come down on fine even ings and give them some choice selections which would make the shore more popular. One thing can be said, that there is not Q qui- eter summer resort on the Sound, nor one more inviting for those who wish to escape from the heat and turmoil of the crowded cities.

A Newfoundland Dog Dies Game.

The Norwich Bulletin of Saturday says {: Yesterday afternoon at about o'clock a savage Newfoundland dog owned by William Hartley, residing on Franklin street, made an attack upon small, inoffensive hound following Capt. Ralph Somers, of Preston, on that thoroughfare. It was an unprovoked assault and very uneven contest, so the gallant Ralph entered the fight in behalf of the smaller dog. He at first attempted to force the heavy dog from his hold by main strength, but failing in that, he drew a jack knife from his pocket and cut first one side of the brute's mouth and then the other The big dog still persisted in eating up the little one, and Mir. Somers stabbed him four times in the side without avail, and then he raised the knife and with a 1unge sent it's steel blade through the Newfoundland dogs skull and into his brain, where it broke of and remained. The dog relinquished his hold at last and in thirty minutes was dead cur. He had been an impudent and treaeh- erous dog, and many were glad last night to learn of his departure.

The simmer NIght,s Carnival.

The rain interfered with the carnival at the day evening and but for this would no doubt have been success. The arrangements made by Manager Smith were complete in all their details. The grounds looked handsome with their brilliant illuminations About two thousand persons were present. Owing to the rain the programme was not fully car ried out, and the remainder of it will be given tomorrow evening
 An advertisement appears in another col umn this morning. Manager Smith says that all the races and entire programme will then be finished, and with pleasant evening he can more than satisfy all patrons, but giving out-of-door amusements in rain storm is an unfair advantage.

 Rev. Dr. Todd preached highly interest l ing discourse at the Church of the Redeemer yesterday morning on the temporary and .heeting character of earthly honors Wealth, fame, position, power, while in a degree laudable objects of honorable ambition, were yet unsatisfactory, and if attained, gave no lasting happiness. Selfish aims and objects brought not the desired end. Unselfsh aims the best good of mankind, deeds of benevo- lence and life of purity spent in following the commandments of the great teacher of Galilee, would ensure happiness which our coming age could not dim, but which would grow brighter and brighter.
