A DEER SEEN While driving to Newtown, last week Saturday, J. M. Ford of South ville saw a genuine deer on the opposite side of the new bridge over tre liousatonic riv er. Mr Ford had an opportunity to catch one good look only when the animal heard the horse's hoofs and fled up the mountain near Willis Lockwood's. This is a rare circumstance in this section, though deer are becoming more plenti- ful n the state than they have been for some time before. Two were seen near Torrington, some time ago. Perhaps a recent act of the Legislature, impos ing a heavy fine for killing one, may have the effect of making the sight of deers in the forests of the state, a com mon sight : in fact as common as it is now rare.
