inches 10 three feet through aud from
40 10 60 feet TO the Limbs The reason Of
their not breaking of is because the roots
were ~ near tho surface II the ground. |
They all fell ono way. In his sal Of the
hard wood thia fall on tho lot he reserved
these trees for future use, but contrary TO
bis calculations he Is compelled TO cut
these trees up into three Thousand saw
logs, and peel therofrom some six hum
drcd cords Of bark. Tho ayails Of NIL whom |
disposed Of will foot mp some eight or
ten thousand dollars, a nice little winters |
work for neighbor Hart, rather more than |

town authorities arc too lenient with the
liquor law There il sufficient oanse for |
such complaints and wo ask whom. will /
town officials administer the penalties of
this law without foar or favor Of any msn /

our statute books. II il too true that
the Vermont prohibitory liquor law suf-
fers too much in the hands of it's progressed
friends.
