THERE is one dog in Milford whose
owner should never be compelled, or
allowed, to pay tax upon. We mean
the sheperd dog belonging to William
BENSON, of Fourth aud North streets,
Milford. A few weeks ago he closed
his teeth upon the thigh of a little
Child of tile Rev. Mr.. Geare, and
dragged him out of the store into the
ward, before he was driven off. A
month ago he attacked the seven-year-
old child ofOwen Isaacs. and lacerated
and tore the flesh and muscles of u
leg to such a degree that erysipelss
set in, and at this writing death is ex-
peeted at any moment. No man is
excusable for keeping such vicious
dog, and the owner should have 1t
killed at once, after being dOubly
warned. If Mr.. Benson does not kill
the dog before he again does some one
an injury, he may have suit in court
that will prove expensive. The Town
Board should have the authority to
order his death.

1MM1cRANrs. GOOD AND BAD.

THE new commissioner OF lmmlEra-
ton, Mr.. Owen, has collected some IN
teresting data for transmission to con-
cress upon which he will base a request
for more stringent restrictive legisla-
ton. Altogether tho figures do not
make so alarming a showing as to the
bad character OF recent immigrants as
many persons would suppose to exist.
For the last two fiscal years, 1889 and
1890, the number of immigrants was
substantially the same, or 444,421 for
one year and 45o,302 for the next. In
the first six months Of the present fiscal
year, or the half ending Dec. 81, 1880,
there was, however, an increase OF
39.SO7 over the same half year OF 1855,
and in the same four months there has
been an increase Of 42,Sl6, making an
increase for the entire year Of sl.623.
This makes an immigration for the first
ten months of the present year of 4ol,-
23s. The immigration in the last two
mouths Of the last fiscal year (lS9C was
136,697. 1t will not be short of 10000
for May and June this year. The total
for the year will probably be about $780,
600. In the last eleven fiscal years this
number has been exceeded in six years,
or more than half the time. The wave
Of immigration is rising, but for the past
wear it is below the average. 1t is Gus
tomary to direct attention to the immi-
grafton from Hungary, Poland, and
italy as increasing. 1t undoubtedly is,
but just at present Germany, Sweden
and Norway are displaying a larger in
crease. In the four months ending with
April our total immigration rose one
third (33 per cent?, but the share com
ing from Germany rose SO per cent. anc
from the Scandinavian peninsula 40 pei
cent. On the other hand, Hungary ROSE
IS per cent, Italy 81 per cent, and Rus
sin 80 per cent. The present rush come:
chiefly, therefore, from the reglon'
which have furnished us some of tn,
best of our foreign stock. A CORE
spondent of the Chicago Inter-Oceal
calls attention to another interesting
feature of the situation. He says
"What is usually the opposite lost sign
of is the number Of immigrants con
stantly returning. In the ten year
ending last June 5,250,6l3 immigrant
landed in this country. In all calcul5
tions on the census this total is treate

tails OF the ~cruelest and most cold-biooded

umn, reads like a crimo of the Malta. I've

disables him by a quick blow with

In the meantime his wife and little one
