An attempt was made last Saturday night
to kill a valuable Shepherd-dog, belonging on
the estate of the late Lyman Keeler. The
dog, a perfectly gentle and harmless animal,
was muzzled in conformityr to the law. The
scamp, cut the muzzle off the dog and at-
tempted to kill him by beating him on the
head with a club. The noise alarmed Mr M.
Kecler who went to rescue, but the parties
made their escape without being recognized.
It seems that under the present dog law of
Wilton. the muzzle is no protection to a dog,
as a reward is offered for the killing of dogs
and that left to any unscrupulous person
who would not hesitate to kill a_muzzlcd dog,
if they could gain the reward. The good
people of Wilton must remember that while
there are many worthless crrrs that should be
killed, many of the farmers are owners of
dogs that are just as valuable to them as a
cow or horse, and, while conforming to the
1 law they must be protected in their propprty.

Father Rogers, pastor of the Catholic church,

Conn, and Patrick Kane, of Bridgeport,
were introduced as the speakers for the oc-
casion. The effectiveness of their strong ap-
peals can best be judged by the fact that
over three hundred persons signed the pledge.

Mr. Samuel lVood, member of the New

est ease was that of Mr. Tate vs. the Nyaek
and Northern railroad company, trledin New
.York last week, an action to recover dama-
ges in the sum of $1,000, caused by the
breaking of an embankment of the railroad
company near plaintiff’s home. Many wit-
nesses were examined for and against. The
jury found for plaintiff $460 damages and
his costs. The only question at issue was,
whether a dry culvert, i. c., there being no
natural stream, had been closed by the act or
neglect of defendants agents. It was prev-
cd that the embankment was eleven feet high
on one side of plaintiff's house, and eighty
feet high on the opposite, or Hudson river
side—that in the fearful storm of August 13,
1875, a ravine crossed by this embankment
was Erltrirely filled with water up to the level
of the track, and that the pressure of thou-
sands of tons of water in that ravine having
no outlet by the culvert alluded t0,burst forth
carrying the water and the embankment
againts plantiff’s house, demolishing his front
door and windows finding egress by doors
and windows on the opposite side, thus des-
poiling his furniture and making a. complete
wreck of his home. The case was argued,
Mr. Wood for plaintiff, Messrs. Fallon and
exJudge Shipman for defendants. .

, THE POPE’s RECEIPTS AX!) EXPENDITURES;
The pontificial treasury defrays, as it did
before the occupation of Rome, the charges
of all its servants, amounting yearly to some
$800,000. A few of them have not objected
to draw two salaries, one from the Pope, one
from the state ; but the Pope thouglrhe
knows this; keeps silence. The Italian
government tenders, under the “law of
guarantees,” to his holiness apnually $645.-
000, gold, for his civil list, a single note for
that sum being specially engraved. This the
Pope always declined to receive, and under
the law after five years the money has been
covered into the Italian treasury. "Peter’s
Pence,” amounting yearly to over £3,000,000,
defray the expenses of the Holy See. _A
third of the amount is devoted to christian
works, missions, hgspitais, schools, churdhes,
.Szc. ;' another third to the maintenance of the
court and the enclosiastical' administration.
The remainder goes to swell a reserve fund

Foarr MILES AN Hour: DOWN MOUNT
WASHINGTON was quite enough to take away
a signal service ofilccr’s breath. Sergeant
Cone had been ordered from the summit to
Washington, D. C., and after 'waitiug several
days for clear weather decided to start last
Sunday morning with two companions. They
had a large sled, and intended to follow the
track of the Mount Washington Railway to
the base of the mountains. _ The party reach-
ed the levcl above Jacob’s Ladder in safety,
but owrng to the steepness of the remaining
slope the sergeant’s companions decided to
halt. and leave ~'hlni to continue his journey
alone. Wi h his baggage str’a ped to the sled
he made a rash start; but Insglad of proceed-
ing at the former rate of speed—twenty
miles an hour—he dashed down the mountain
side with a velocity of at; least forty miles an
hour. He seen lost his balance. and was
hurled one hundred feel headlong into the
deep snow. His companions reached him as
quickly as they could, and them clambered
down to the base of the mountain for asistance;
and the sergeant was finally carried to Little-
ton on a litter.
How creditors Meet.
One of the most amusing places to visit in
these times of business depression is “ ameet-
ing of the creditors" of one of the suspended
payment.
If you are one of the creditors, you have
the honor to receive an invitation to attend
the meeting. It is generally neatly printed;
and in it they request the pleasure of your
company, at such a day and ' hour, at their
own or their lawyer’s office. Perhaps you
swear it little when you read it, which. is
naughty. If too good to do that,you swear
mentally (but I have heard some swear open-
ly, and call the firm had names;) and, at last,
you decide to accept the invitation.
On arriving at the meeting, you find a mix-
ed assemblage, about half smoking, and most
of them in the best humor; but there are a
few sour creditors, who have old-fogy notions
of right and wrong. One of the creditors,
perhaps only on paper, jumps up and says,
“I nominate Mr. Jones as chairman.” If it
is a “crooked” failure, it is generally a friend
of the firm's. The rnotlon is Seconded and
carried. Everything is “carried” at a meet-
ing. A motion is never negatived. Meeting
organized. Hats some 011’.
Some one moves that a statement of liabili-
ties and assets be read. Motion seconded and
carried. Statement generally reads something
like this: “Liabilities, about $80,000; stock
onhand, about $12,000; present value, about
$9,000; bills receivable and open account,
$23,000; bills bad, $9,000." Firm offers
thirty cents, at six, twelve and eighteen
months. Up jumps one of the old-fogy cred-
itors, and wishes to ask Mr, Smith, one of the
firm, what he meant by stating to him, a
month ago, that he had $50,000 stock, and
only owed $30,000. .-
Mr. Smith replies, in a bland voice, that
“the gentleman who last spoke must have
misunderstood the tenor of his remarks at the
time he mentionsfl’
Irate old creditor says he “ rather thinks he
did not, and is ready to go on the stand and
swear to it."
Up jumps another old fegy, and “wants to
know how his.books stood on December 81.”
Mr. Smith replies that his books were not
“balanced.”
Old fogy wants to know why they were
' not “balanced."
Mr. Smith replies because they could not
make them “ balance.” (Laughton)
Then Young America. jumps up and says
“ he does not see that talking will mend mat-
ters. Time is valuable, and he cannot afford
to lose any more of it at this meeting, as he
has several more to attend to today. (Laugh-
ter.) The firm, no doubt, needed more capi-
tal to conduct their business properly, and
took this means to obtain it. (Laughter.)
No doubt, if they settled with them on these
terms, the firm could take a larger store in a
bcttcrlocatiou (Laughter,) and most of. the
creditors could sell them more goods than
they did before (Laughton) and get worse
ibit’ next lime. (Laughter-n) Therefore, I
move the offer be accepted." ‘
The chairman states that the motion is be-
fore the meeting. Motion carried.
Young America—“ I move we adjourn.”
Carried.
Young America—“And I move an amend-
ment, ‘to the restaurant,’ to drink cverybody’s

This is to certily that: I have been troubled with
a hard, dry cough for about forty years. and dur-
ing this time I tried many skillful physicians, but
dint not find uny relief or benefit until I applied to
Dr. Fiske- Itis medicines worked like magicJ‘or
my cough disappeared entirely in a very few
weeks, and has not troubled me since, and my gen-
eral health is greatly improved. I cannot speak
in terms 'of too great ‘praise of the virtues of his
medicines. I am desirous that everybody should
know what they have done for me. and will be
glad to direct any one to the remedies that will
cure that fell destroyer oi the human race—con-
