Revenge Ia Sweet.

An amusing incident happened in the western part of the city the other day. Two citizens have lived side by side in harmony
 until recently. One owned cat, which was
 the pride of his eye. The other owned e
 goat and dog, which was equally admired
 and cared for. The dog made predatory ex- cursion into the next yard and killed the cat.
 When the owner of the cat knew this his feelings were so lacerated that nothing could smooth them but revenge. He therefore took 8 hatchst and went into his neighbours yard to seek the offending and bloodthirsty dog. He did not find him, but he did find the goat who was peacefully eating tin cans, all un- conscious of the past or the coming tragedy The infuriated cat owner did not see how he could get even without killing the goat, which he did by chopping his head of. It was tough on the goat, who had not had the satisfaction of killing the cat. The dog has not been heard from.

 Libero Santagala, an Italian who lives at 200 Henry street, was cut quite badly about the head last night by another Italian who goes by the name of Thomas Charlie.

The annual report says: ''The growth of | the business of the company during the last year has been healthy but not large. There l is net increase of fifty stations, and an in- crease of gross earnings of SIG, ,653 49. The in- crease in gross earnings is due more to the fact that there has been 6 gradual rise in the prices for telephones in our territory than to increase in numbers. We are liable at any time to have the expenditure of quarter un- expectedly increased, ,Ieither on account of the weather or because of some movement of other property compelling the considerable re- building of part of our lines. The last quarter ot the year just passed is the most striking instance of this which has ever oc- cured in the history of the company. In the same quarter with the blizzard which required large expenditures, there was necessity of an entire reorganization of the approaches of our Hartford office. It is like ly that the income for the nexs year will not be sufficient to pay the ordinary divi> dends."
