 The Courant says that number of errors have been discovered in the Bridgeport se lectmen's books, extending back through sev eral years from 1880. It is not claimed as yet that any money has been lost to the town by these errors, but it is thought they are simply the result of careless bookkeeping on the part of the clerks of the board. There are quite number of errors and some of them make apparent discrepancies, amounting to thousands of dollars. One mistake alone makes an apparent difference of $23, 900. The selectmen are now at work overhauling the | books, and they will probably be able before long to tell just what the errors amount to. The report of the State Board Of Health for October, shows an unusual prevalence of | dlphtheria during the month in Hartford and Waterbury. The same disease has appeared indignantly in Naugatuck and other places, l Typhoid fevers and malarial disorders are much more extensive than usual. Norwalk and this town report an alarming frequency of typhoid cases more than the last five or six years together. Derby reports decrease in malarial diseases and a marked increase Tn typhoid fever Naugatuck and il other towns report an increase of typhoid. Berlin has been afflicted with typhoid and malarial fe- vers, and suffield, New Canaan, Salisbury and South Manchester report an increased number of both levers. The Board say that this year it seems to be rather the rule to see typhoid and typho-malarial in the same places. Either the malarial levers are in the decline or else the typhoid levers have taken a new lease of strength. The old antagonism between them does not seem to exist SC strongly now Cerebro-spinal meningitis is reported from Derby, and also scarlet fever oi

 After while obscure symptoms developed
 and medical aid was invokedr The litharge
 oxide of lead used in the process of boiling
 the oil forms an adherent sediment upon tbt
 inside of the barrels, and the acids of the ci
 der readily unite with this and dissolve larg quantities of it. If the cider is kept lony enough to turn to vinegar. the proportions 0 ! lead are still more increased. = Farmer.
