 The following singular accident is reported to Meriden milk peddler named Bradley. He was taking in 8 load of hay when the storm came up, and the front half of the load was blown of the cart, and the oxen were nearly choked by the lifting up of the yokes and heap. Bradley, seeing the danger his cattle werein, ran to his home for an axe to cut the bows of the yoke and relieve the oxen. In his excitement he not only cut the bow, but sank his axe deep in the neck of one of the animals. One of the oxen being liberated, the weight was greater on the re- maining one, and Bradley proceeded to cut the poor beast loose. His axe soon severed the yoke, and also cut deep gash in the throat of that OK. MT. Bradley valued the pair at $2O0. Both were butchered, the in. juries they received from the axe permanent Iy disabling them.

Extending the Valley Road.

One of the hottest battles that enlivened the General Assembly of this State at its last session was that which occurred over the pe- tition of the Connecticut Valley railroad com pany for permission to extend their tracks to the State line The application was resisted nominaIly by the Connecticut Central railroad company, but really by combination of companies. It was, however, finally granted
 Doubt was expressed at the time whether the company would avail itself of the privilege granted them, but it no longer exists. The layout of the proposed extension has been made and hearing will be had before the railroad commissioners on the 27th inst, on the question of approving it. As soon as their approval is given the work of construc- ton will be commenced. From the State line the road will be extended to Springfield, permission for such an extension having been granted by the Massachusetts Legislature.

 scribed-Licemses RecOmmended-Bflls
 Approved.
 A regular meeting of the Board of Select
 men was held last evening; present, Select
 men Andrew (presiding), Reynolds, Hugo'
 Foote, Feldman and Hart.
 Representatives of I. T. Hotchkiss' estate
 appeared before the Board and asked for an
 abatement of taxes on the ground of errone-
 ous assessment. Referred.
 Selectman Andrew related a visit of the Selectmen to Mrs. Foster's home for chll- dren on Jewell street. He said Mrs. Foster was willing to make monthly statements of children received and their condition. He said the children appeared well cared for: The report was accepted and ordered spread upon the records.
 Selectman Foote from the committee to es tablish lines between New Haven, East Ha- ven and North Haven, said the committee had concluded their labors and found 1t 8 disagreeable job indeed. He said that stakes had been driven at certain points de- fning the boundaries, and all that was left
 was to have the quarter mile sections marked by stones He said that it had been suggest ed by Selectman Forbes, of East Haven, that l both boards go over the line and see just where the boundaries were, that they may become familiar with them.
 Selectman Andrew thought something more permanent than stakes should be placed, and that stones or monuments should be placed in their stead also that stones should be placed at croSswalks.
 It was voted that stones be placed at points where required, it being understood that
 East Haven would bear its portion of the 1 expense. Charles J. Webb appeared before the Board I to advocate the widening of Central avenue, l formerly Tryon street, in Westville He salo he simply desired the matter investigated | Awaiting petition no action was taken.
