A Cat Bite

Clarence Phelps, aged 19, son of the pro prietor of the New York restaurant on Orange street near Center, is suffering severely from a wound on his right hand and arm, caused by the bite of 8 black and white cat on Tuesday morning. He has been under the attention of Dr. Dorman since. The cat has been slain. It has been discovered that it had hidden litter of kittens which, in it's instinctive way, it was seeking to guard from injury. Tuesday morning about II o'clock Phelps started to go down cellar. The cat lay on the bottom step and he kicked it off.
 Then it sprang for his body and caught upon his apron. He tried to push it off, but it bit him severely in the right arm drawing blood.
 Then he seized it by the throat, but it man. aged to bite his thumb, but not so as to make it bleed The wounds soon began to infame.

Obituary,

Died at his residence in this city, on Sun day morning, in the 7Sth year of his age, William H. Law, Esq. His health for some time had been precarious, and the closing of his happy life was peaceful and painless. Mr. Law became a resident of this city some twelve years since, having removed, here from Norwich, (which town he at one time represented in the General Assembly,, with view to the education of his sons who are now practising lawyers. During MT. Laws resi- dence here, his great worth, excellent judg- ment and dignity of character won for him the respect and esteem of the community, while his honorable, manly yet refined sympa- thies drew to him hosts of friends. Tall, erect, elegant in person, cultured, well in- formed, he was in every sense an American gentleman. MT. Law graduated with honor at Yale in 1922, and was afterwards educated to the profession of the law. He was descended from the best Connecticut stock, from men who were conspicuous in their time in the annals of the State and nation. His father was Lyman Law, prominent lawyer of New London speaker of the General Assembly, and for many years a member of the United States Congress. Hisgrandfather was Richard Law, a distinguished jurist, member of the first Continental Congress, chief judge of Connecticut, and, appointed by President Washington, United States Judge of the dis trict of Connecticut. His great grandfather was Jonathan Law, chief justice of the colony of Connecticut for sixteen years. and its Gov ernor from 1741 to 175O. His public and pri- vate life was portrayed in funeral eration in Latin, delivered in Yale College chapel by (afterwards) the distinguished President Stiles. Jonathan Law, the father of the Governor, was born in Wethersfeld. He lived during his childhood in Stamford, and on his mar riage moved to Milford where he was man of note. Richard Law, the father of Jona- than, came from England and settled in Wethersfeld, and in 1640 moved to Stamford, of which town he was one of the first set tiers and most honored inhabitants. He was member of the General Assembly for eleven years and held other prominent positions A brother of tho deceased, John Law, of Indiana was member member of Congress during the late war. Thus three generations were represented in the halls of Congress, circumstance of rare occurrence Mir. Law leaves widow and one son, Wm. H. Law, Yale '78, ,and daugh- ter, Mrs. Walden, by his first marriage, and two step-sons, one of whom is Hon. William J. Mills, State Senator from the Fourth dis trict, the other John B. Mills, graduate of Yals in '78.
