A FAIR OFFER.
Written for the LIGHT.
REASON OR INSTINCT?

That was the question put to me by
an acquaintance with whom l was con-
yersing on the subject of dogs, and In
answer told the following story, which
seems to me to prove the existence of q
something far beyond mere instinct:
A friend of mine once owned q beauti.
full setter named Nell; her quick percep-
tiOn was greatly beyond that OF any dog
l ever saw.
Mr.. Power owned considerable prop
erty In the southwest of Ireland, his
tenants were many, as most OF the Irish
property in those days was divided
into small parcels, with hut or shanty
on each. for which my friend received
rents from one pound upwards per an
mum.
For some reason his tenants suddenly
took dislike to him, and he was even
threatened; he, however, paid no atten-
tion to the posters scattered about, but
transacted his business as usual. One
day he went to collect rent from one
Michael Blake, words ensued, and Pow
er left, mentioning the day he
would call again. After that day,
Nell would follow her master wherever
he went. Power noticed the dogs at
tentlon, but thought very little about 1t.
The night arrived for my friend to
make his trip to his tenants-he always
preferred to take the journey at night, as
that gave him the whole OF the follow
ing day to do his business.
The dog cart stood at the gate, and
Power went down the walk towards 1t
followed by the faithful Nell, who
stopped from time to time as il unoer-
tian whether or no she should go. MY
frient put his foot on the step in the act
Of entering, when the dog took firm
hold of his coat tail and pulled with all
her might. Power petted and spoke to
her, but she was not satisfied, and
turned towards the house, looking back
to see whether he was following.
Power could not understand what the
dog wanted and again attempted to get
into the cart, when she sat down and
raising her head heavenward howled
most mourntully. Then, seeing that
he was determined on getting up
she bounded forward, and selling the
reins tried to drag them from his hand
Astonished, Power released his hold
and returned to the house, Nell-whC
seemed ready to jump out of her silky
skin-leading the way.
After consulting his wife, who was 9
very superstitious lady, my friend put
of going till the morrow.
The following day brought news OF &
gentleman having been murdered In ,
dark part Of the very road by which
Power would have travelled and, very
soon one Michael Blake was arrested
and convicted of the murder of the IN
fortunate gentleman, who was going Il
see relation then dying, and subse
quently Blake confessed that he hat
mistaken the traveller for Mr.. Power.
Perhaps 1t will not be amiss to tell my
readers the end of this far-seeing anC
faithful dog.
Some time after the foregoing occur
renee Mr.. Power resided in the midst o
this tenantry, and was respected b!
them since the cause Of all the troubles
had by mis- own act, been removed.
A nephew Of his, lad Of fifteen, cam
to spend two or three months for tn
benefit Of his health, and wherever b.

The Case of Michael Conway-varlo.
 loId-DHsfnfectlng.
 Health Officer Williston visited the pest house yesterday and made a minute examina- ton of the eruption on Michael Conway's body and fully corroborated the opinions of the physicians who attended him regarding the nature of the illness. He said it was a slight touch of varioloid, which would prob ably necessitate the confinement of Conway for few weeks in the habitation of sufferers from such contagious diseases.
 The Franklin House will immediately be disinfected and quarantined to prevent a spread of the malady.
 Officers Gates, McKeon and Connolly, who attended the sick man, the proprietor and boarders in the Franklin House, which is the most popular boarding place for workingmen in the lower part of the town, were not agree ably surprised when they heard that the case was one of smallpox or varioloid and there is considerable uneasy feeling among other res idents of the lower part of the city.

In the suit of Dr. Ralph A. Blood, of Wa terbury for $1 ,000 against the New York and New England road the jury in Waterbury on Saturday disagreed.

The company forbids pas sengers riding on the platform, and he had a seat in the car. He held that the brakeman gave him permission to go on the platform,
 but the company denied that the brakeman
 had any right to give such permission, if he did 1t. The American says it is reported that the jury stood Il to 1 in favor of giving the plaintiff something
 BREEZY TOWN MEETING AT ROCKVILLE.
 The greatest excitement prevailed at the
 Rockville town meeting Saturday afternoon, held to see ii the town would obtain more central location for it's Memorial hall. The hall was packed with people, many personal remarks were made, and it was difficult for
 the police to keep order. The meeting con- tinaed until o'clock, and it took over an
 hour to deposit ballots. The town voted by
 no majority to change the location to Dow
 Iing's corner. The new location is corner of
 Union and Main streets: it is much more cen-
 tral, but it is understood that the owner does
 not care to sell, and the town will take it by
 condemnation. It is expected that the lot
 will cost $25, 900, which will make the cost of
 the hall about $100, 1000. The former build
 ing committee is continued, and will have
 charge of the work.
