ACCIDENT AND INCIDENT.

A Mad Dog Makes Things Livery in
 the Town of Deep River.
 Great excitement was caused ill this town by dog which went mad on Thursday morning. The dog ran from the town of Chester to Deep River and on his way severely bit eighteen other dogs. He rushed down Main street, which was filled with school children at that hour, but did not bite or rush for any of them. Every dog, however, which crossed his path was rushed at and bitten. A large number of people started out to capture the dog, some armed with shot guns and others armed with revolvers. After long chase he was finally shot down. Samuel Burke, in attempting to capture the dog, was severely bitten in the hand. His injuries were cauterized by physician and it is thought that no evil result will follow. Who owned the dog is a mystery.
 The report has reached East Hampton that Henry Lincoln, alias Wilson, of that place, is dead. Lincoln was inter- ested in the Wallingford shoe box mystery, and was afterwards arrested for the murder of James Fuller, a night watchman of East Hampton. He was released from jail after having had one trial, in which the jury was dismissed for talking about the case The un- known man who was killed by a fall down hotel stairway at New Haven, a few weeks ago, is believed to have been Lincoln,

Baker Opera Company.

bAker opera company
 "The Grand Duchess" is one of the best and most popular pieces in the repertoire of the Baker Opera company and it was produced last night in an almost faultless manner. The princi- pals and chorus readily adapted them selves to the requirements of the piece. Miss Dressler especially appearing at her best. Joe Armand had an excellent opportunity for displaying his talents as an actor and he made the most of it. His singing was, as usual, of high order. Irene Murphy, as Prince Paul, was too sweet for anything, don't you know, and her mellow voice was just adapted to the part. Wolff and Wooley were again the fun makers and received fair share of the applause. Miss Laurens had but little to do. In the last act, however, much to the delight of the audience, she introduced pretty and difficult song, Sweetheart" and was warmly encored. The chorus wal even better than usual and the costumes and groupings were artistic in concep tion.-and execution. T" night "Tht Bohemian Girl" a WateEhury favorlte will be presented.

 Agriculture.

 The New Project of the State Board Oi
 Agriculture.
 Some time ago the state authorities of New Hampshire compiled a list of the abandoned farms of that state, with a view to bringing in settlers to occupy them and restore the waste land to cul- tivation.
 The Connecticut state board of agri- culture has somewhat similar project, but, intending also, to include in the list all those farms which. while not actually abandoned, are held at a merely nominal figure as compared with the cost of the land and buildings.
 Secretary Gold has issued a circular calling for information as to all such farms and copies have been sent to town officials, agricultural societies, granges and individuals. Any person who wishes blank to fill out giving de. scription of farm for sale, can obtain 1t by writing to T. s. Gold at West Cornwall, Conn.
 The blank requires information as fol. lows:
 Total acres; and number in moving, pasture, woodland, and fuitable for cul. tivation.
 House: Size, number of rooms, size of l. and condition. Other buildings.
 Fences: Kind and condition, water supply, fruit trees, number and kind.
 Names of, and distance from the nearest railroad station, postoffice church and school.
 Peculiarities of location of farm, as tC hill or valley, proximity of streams ol lakes. Character of soil, general con. dition of the soil, general condition oi the property, price, terms of sale, and address of the owner or person author. ized to sell the property.

 The senate committee on claims has been asked to report in favor of an ap- propriation of 1000 to pay Lewis D. Allen of New London for money de- posted with the military authorities at Natchez, Miss, during the war.
 Congress has been called upon by the secretary of the treasury to make good deficiency of $5, 712.78 due to the state of Connecticut for the care of disabled volunteer soldiers at the state home. The amount due fer the last year was $25 ,550, but as the appropriation did not suffice to go around the state got only $1S,S37 g. Hence the deficiency noted. The. largest number of soldiers cared for in the state home during the year was 291.
 During the past year the total amount of judgments in civil suits, to which the United States was not a party, were as follows:
 Amount of judgments for plaintiffs, admiralty suits, 5,7s7. .O6; other suits, $S2. 30; total, $5, 5,869.36.

 It will be matter of surprise to the average reader to know that of the half million immigrants arriving in the country last year, over 10000, or to be exact, 10,639, were destined to Con. necticut. More immigrants come tC Connecticut than to Indiana or Iowa, or to nearly all the southern states put together.
 The man who used the most station. cry in the last year mong the Con. necticut delegation was the Hon Fred. erick Miles, he having spent of his annual allowance of /S125 in this way S42 %, drawing in cash $82. 7S; next came Simonds, who laid out S29 997, the ] money payment having been $96. 03 Wilcox took $1186 Tn stationery and $113.

WILL RECEIVE THEIR PAY.

In the Eyes of Republicans Possession is
 Nine Points of the Law.
 One reason why the republicans do not worry about their salaries which the minority house declared forfeited, is that the state treasurer, Mir Henry has the money right in his possession, and is willing to pay ":.-the representatives whenever they ask for it. No order from Comptroller Staub is needed, and so that obstruction is out of the way. The legislature of 1889, in accordance with a custom of long standing, passed an appropriation with which to pay the salaries of the.present house. What the members of the next general assembly will do for salaries, is a question which cannot be answered at this time.
