AGAIN THE TURNPIKE.
Judge shumway's Decision--Demurrer
 Sustained.

Judge Shumway's Decision-Demurrer
 Sustained.
 Judge Shumway yesterday sustained the demurrer to the remonstrance Of Ansonia, Huntington and Woodbridge against the report of the committee appointed to assess benefits and dam ages for the condemnation of the Der by turnpike. The committee reported in favor of New Haven paying $5,000 of the damages and the remaining $5,- 900 was apportioned among Derby and Orange and the three towns before named. These three towns renlon- strated to the report on the ground that they received no benefit from tn T turnpike and could not be assessed for damages. The other towns demurred to the remonstrance on the ground that the only ground for remonstrance could be some allegation of irregularity on the part of the committee, and none was alle@ed
 The sustaining of the demurrer is a victory for New Haven and will bring the case into this term of court unless an appeal is taken from Judge Shum- ways decision.

A most amusing scene was witnessed on
Sunday afternoon in Moore street, Dub
lin, where number of ganins were play
ing football with large bladder under
their own special rules. One of the teams
presumably disappointed in the turn out
of "man," flied the vacancy by substi-
tuting in his stead a handsome collie dog
The dog played his <gnme with eztraordi-
nary intelligence, stopping the ball with
his head when it was going against his
team, and upon every occasion on which
he got possession of it he ran with it in
his mouth, and despite all opposition Of
his opponents carried it trlumphantly
through the goal. The game lasted about
25 minutes in the presence of large gath
ering, and ended with much excitement
in the dogs team winning by ten goals to
nil. AS there was no gate to receive
money, and as the teams depended on the
generosity of their patrons, the latter vol
unfairly subscribed liberally. 1t is pity,
am afraid, that the best IMAM in the
feld-or rather the street-receiyed very
little of the receipts-I mean the dog. -

IN THE WOODS.
Customs of the Deer as Seen by an OLD
Hunter.

A Moosshead hunter and guide who
has spent his entire life, almost, in the
W pods around that great body Oh water,
tells some interesting facts about the
deer which may be new to many people.
One of tho surprising things he claims is
and cannIt be frightened away from a
ploe where they aIo accustomed TO feet!,
even th ough they may lie shot at in tia
rlsue time and time again and deter =
mined effort made to drive then away.
He says TINT one may shoot as a deer
which is in its accustomed feeding place,
md although the animal may rua away
into the woous, il it is not MORALLY
wounded and 81 has not strength to re-

of hunters firing their guns ali over =,

as soon as the noise of the firing was

WAKING AT A CERTAIN HOUR.
The Boston Man Who Thought He Heard
the Clock Strike Six.

The Boston Man Who Thought He Heard
the Clock Strike Six.
A man who wished to make sure that
an aiIing child in bed in an adjoining
room kept covered through the night, and
who before he Went to sleep himself made
mental memorandum to the effect that
he must not sleep without waking more
than an hour or two really fell into
very sound slumber. But in the midst of
it he was awakened by apparently hearing
the bell of the town clock not far away
strike 6 o'clock-all the strokes falling
clearly-one, two, three, four, five, six.
Now this man is accustomed to rise every
morning st 6 O'Clock, and seldom sleeps
past that hour it has long been for him
the end of the night and the beginning of
the day. AS he heard the strokes natural
~ he had tho impression that he had slept
all night and had neglected the child. He
got up quickly and vas surprised to find
that the darkness was intense and on
striking light and consulting his watch
he was astonished to find not only that he
had not slept more than two hours, but
that no bell had struck-that it was be-
tween the hours. so that he could not have
heard the clock strike some other hour and
mistaken it for six. There was, it should
be mentioned, 10 striking clock in the
house, nor any within hearing except the
town clock, which he supposed he had
heard, but had rot.
Now this seems to be a clear case of the
operation of some sort of machinery in the
mans mind, whereby he was reused by
the premature occurrence Of the sensation
of summons that was sure to awake him
under ordinary circumstances That the
man was sound asleep was proved by the
fact that he might easily have heard the
bell strike II and 10, for the window was
open and soon afterward being now awake,
he heard it strike O'Clock loudly, but he
heard nothing Of the noisy striking of
these hours. He had gone to sleep very
tired, and, but for this summons SO skill
fully directed by his subconsciousness, &C.
curing at the expiration of tho time he
had set when efell asleep, he might easily
have slept all night. The ringing of no
hour but ever reused him under ordinary
circumstances, therefore," said his ga
sleeping subconsciousness, 81 will ring ii
O'Clock on him and see if that will make
him get up and cover the baby" The
false summons worked like charm Such
things make more than Alice in Wonder
land "play that they are two people -
