A dog giving many indications of rabies was shot and killed near the station at Grosvenordaie Wednesday by Constable Nerre Coderre.
 Constable Coderre, in conversation with Captain Ryan of the local police, stated the dog had acted very strange ly, had frothed at the mouth and stag gered about. The dog was wearing a Killingly registration tag, but who the owner is had not been determined up to late hour Wednesday.
 Constantly recurring incidents of this kind make it probable that there is little likelihood that the ban against dogs roaming at large will be revoked very soon, notwithstanding Wednes- days announcements that dogs are tc

 Morning Sermon.
 The Rev. J. Romeyn Danforth, the morning preacher, had for his text Heb. 12:27. His topic. The Things l That Remain. He first spoke of the | things that survive the years, things that we preserve as heirlooms and me- mentoeS, contrasting them with the passing of those who by their asso- citation with these things made the things of value to us. This leads us to ask the men and women less per manent than plaster. clocks and bits of jewelry? The answer is, No. For those who have left us have not ceased | to be, they remain and will remain after all things earthly shall have passed away. The immortality of the soul as contrasted with the transitory nature of all things that are made by man, or produced by nature is the great fundamental truth on which we need to lay hold for our comfort. This leaves us to our conviction that the political principles that stand fol the emphasis of the value of the in dividual, rather than the emphasis o1 the value of the state at the expense of the subordination of the individual are the principles that are most ir keeping with the plans and purpose. of God. and so are worthy of sacrifice Ieven to the utmost measure in theil deLenSe and prOmotlon.
 Afternoon Address.
 Rev. Hugh MacCallum of Simsbur! in the afternoon spoke on Bictory o Slavery. He is one of the speaker sent out by the Connecticut Council O Defense, and an eloquent and forcefu speaker.
 His address traced the developmen of the German autoeratic military idle: I rzvns so1, 1T erybody to the military heads of thu state. and showed by history ant present conditions that the triumph of that idea means for those who yielt to it a subordination of personalit. which is slavery of the individual community and country. A slayer. that can be avoided only by the vic tory of those who have opposed them selves in warfare to German arms.
