Some Of the New Laws.

We Published n few days ago COM
plele cory Of the laws passed at the last
session Of the legislature, but as reading
them through and picking out those that
particularly affect Inn, ia too much TO eX-
pect Of man having anything else to do
before the mile lium, we call attention to a
few Of the most general interest and i'm
portsnce No. 1C6 wi greatly rejoice the
Eclris ot the milkmeu. II provides that
" the Il md nd measure for milk 10 this
state 81 al b. the same as that established
by law commonly called wine measures"
which Is considerably less than milk mea-
sure. No. 1lS was devitel 10 prevent the
deforming trees, rocks, bridges and fences
and every available place with patent med
icins advertisements or circus posters
Merch lnts accustomed to this kind of a2-
ver,isiGg should pay special heed to its pro-
visions. !. Reads:
of any person shall print, paint of post
any h'l ph'ards or notices upon any
bridge, or upon or against any tree, post,
fence or other or, ion, on tny public
t'ftlliil jIs NltIbul illN IlENlDuh CNlustul, III
writing. OF the selecimen OF the town, or
the trustees or bllilfs of the village in
" hich such bridge or public common is To-
Gated, tie person so offending shall pay a
fine of not less Than five dollars, nor more
than tea dollars for each and every of 4nse
50 committed
The law against tramps will probably do
much TO suppress professional tramps who
prefer begging to work. They may be SEN
fenced, on complain, Of an overseer of the
poor or selec'man, to hard labor upon the
town farm, or sny other place the over
seer may designate, not exceeding six
months or imprisoned in the county Jail
not exceeding four months. If the tramp
objects to this kind of hospitality and re-
fuses to work he gets not more than ak
months in the county Jail. We warn the
walking fraternity to keep clear of Yer
mont hereafter.
The dog law is the hardest of all. Prob
ably not more than one person in tten will
comply with the provisions Of tho ltatuie,
ard after the frs, of next April thSslsugb-
ter Il dogs will be great. Pet poodles,
watcb-dogs, Newfoundlands and shepherds
viii be piled in one promiscuous grave IN
leos the owners heed carefully the follow
ing provisions and comply with them.
First to keep your dog you must so to the
town clerks Office before the first of next
April and have it registered, num-
bercd described and licensed for one year"
For that little favor you pay two dollars.
Then you take your dog to harness shop
and have a collar made for him on which
your name must be distinctly marked, put
it on his neck and he is safe for enc year.
At the end OF that time you have TO so
through the descr,bDg. licensing and nrm-
| beging business, not on ling the payment
Of the two dollars, all over again. II you
don't do this, any person in want of tar
get for rife p,actice has right TO set up
your dog with as little conjunction as he
would single ard blaze away; not only
that but after the 10Th of May warrants are
| issued {. pvnce officers and constables
commanding them TO Shoot all dogs not
licensed and collared according to the pro.
visions Of this act" on penalty of q fine
MT exceeding one hundred dollars" In
carrying out this ect the town clerks
will have 10 keep a "dog registry" the
STATISTICS of which may make amusing
reading. Collar and register your dog
though if you want to keep him.
