AS SHOWING THE INTELLIGENCE OF
THE HORSE.

THE HORSE.
DR. r. S. Todd, New Milford's skilled
veterinarian, relates remarkable in
stance as showing the intelligence of
d horse. For month past he has had
under his care horse belonging to 6.
A. Northrop of BridgeWater, which
was afflicted with a very bad tistula.
AS the result of d successful opera ton
he had removed the upper part of the
shoulder blade and the horse was con-
sidered in condition to be taken home.
One night, last week, DR. Todd stepped
out to his stables to look at the horses
and had just returned to his office to
sit down, when he heard mighty
crash and rushing out found this horse
had jumped through a window. and
had disappeared. When the doctor
made the round among the horses to
his establishment he found this horse
suffering with the collie, and at once
administered remedies, and returned
to his office as stated. The next morn
ing the horse was found dead in the
yard of Mr. Northrop in Bridgewater.

A POINTER FOR EDITOR BOLLES.
Charlottesville, December Is, 1901
Mr. Editor: viii you spare little
space in your columns for an eXplana-
ton of the school question. The editor
of the Gazette was in the place short
time since, interviewing people in re-
gard to consolidating the So-called
Gaylord and Waller districts in one
grand school at the village, and then
in his paper he said he found only one.
and that your humble servant, that
was opposed to it. Now l do not like
to have it go among my tOWnSmen
that | am the only one who is against
the movement, or any necessary or
good work, and if Mr. BOlleS will come
up some day | will take him where he
will be convinced to the contrary.
Only last spring good, substantial tax
payers (and they were those who pay
their taxes without prOteSt) by their
votes showed. in a fair town meeting
on the question, that they thought it
inadviSable at the present to do it.
But suppose few that it will accom-
MEDIATE think because the expenses of
the town were cut down the past year
we can we'll afford to do it, no matter
who are inconvenieEced thereby. Mr.
BOlleS also says there are not seats
enough. have attended at the
Waller school when there were nearly,
or quite, 70 scholars in attendance, and
they all found seats, while the house
is no smaller now than it was then.
And if the School Board will furnish
as good teacher in adjoining districts
as they do in the Waller, the seats will
be all right, in my opinion. Now in
conclusion let me say that as far as l
am concerned DprSOnallV | care hut
farm at the outer end of either dis
trict, | should make quite difference
whether the school was three miles or
one mile distant, land l think Mr. Bolles
would, too. Therefore | stand for
equality as far as l can. The schools
are all right. Let them alone for the
present. Respectfully yours,-[C. e.

seasonable average, there has been
an excess of 3 to . degrees day

ties and 4 to 6 degrees north of

The harvest of winter wheat is
nearing completion and that of
spring wheat, oats and barley is in
progress, except in the more ele-
yated districts The high temper
atures that prevailed while wheat
and oats were at critical stage

yield. The second growth of al
falfa is being cut, but owing to
lack of moisture, the crop will be
