Hqgett of East Hartford, was playing tag with another little girl at 10 o'clock yesterday morning. when she stepped on William Duffy's big New foundland dog "Lion."

The little girl is years old. She was attended bv Dr Mcknight, who said her recovery was doubtful, and at the best she would bear bad scars for life. Duffy is a black smith.

CONTAGIOUS DISEASES.
Timely Suggestions Offered By the State
 Board of Health.

Timely SuEgestiOns Offered By the State
 Board of Health.
 The subject of contagious diseases is discussed at length in the monthly re- port of the state board of health, and many valuable suggestions are offered.
 Every local board of health realizes at times the great desirableness of a place where patient with a contagious dis ease could be well taken care of, and so isolated that he would not be a source of danger to others.
 To provide such a place seems beset with many and great difficulties. To build and equip a hospital for such a purpose, with nurses and other neces- sary attendants, always in readiness to receive patients, is thought beyond the financial ability of all small towns. It cable for a number of neighboring towns, to unite in providing such a hospital for common use, for that inn plies for many of the patients too long a distance for transportation.
 Hospitals are usually large buildings, imposing, costly structures. An isola- tion hospital need not be a large build ing. Any good common sized house, with two or three well ventilated rooms m the upper part, in salubrious loca- tion, sufficiently remote from other ANAoOo SO AhNO4Nc nO UduR0r to CQ6lI occupants, affords all that is needful in the way of building. A little stock of ordinary medicines, and a good stock of approved disinfectants, an abundant supply of bed linen, towels, etc, and some special furniture and appliances, which any good medical man could suggest, are all that would be needed in the way of equipment. To provide such place of refuge for a person with courageous disease, is not beyond the ability of any town in Connecticut. In most towns, house which would satis- factorily serve the purpose could be found, which could be bought or rented. Or better, select the site and build for the purpose specially. Next, find a reputable family of adult persons, of not more than two or three in number, one of whom shall be a man, all of good habits, steady and trustworthy people. Give them the rent of the house free. Contract with them to receive and nurse, under the direction of the physi- clan, what patients the board of health may send them, at stipulated price. In this way it is quite practicable for any town or village to have a hospi- tai for contagious diseases at an incon- siderable cost, which would be saved to the people ten fold, with every first case of contagious disease it cared for.

 The Choral society produced the opera of Priscilla" before another good sized audience at the opera house last evening. The members showed famili- arity with the work and the weak points of the first night were carefully avoided. The work of the principals and chorus was uniformly good. The expense of bringing out the opera was about $500 and although there was a large audience each evening the finan- cial results of the venture will be small. if, indeed, there is not actual loss The society has the satisfaction of know ing, however, that it's first effort in the line of opera has never been sur passed in Waterbury by amateurs.

 The trouble caused by the change of grade of Baldwin street when the bridge was raised to make room for the tracks of the Meriden, Waterbury & Connecticut River railroad is apparently as far from being settled as ever. After many tedious delays resolution was passed at recent meeting of the court of common council, instructing the board to repair the approaches to the bridge, if the work was not done by the railroad company within a specified time. Among other improvements to be made by the city was the raising of James Longworth's building two feet, at a cost of about 5000. It was thought that this arrangement would be satisfactory to Mir Longworth, but it is said that he will not accept the city's offer. He wants his building raised four feet and will press his claim in the courts,
