Thomas Gary, a young man living in
the east part of this town, almost COM
pletely severed his foot while splitting
wood in his sugar-place on the mount
ain. last Monday. He struck q heavy
blow. and the axe hit e limb, and it
came down with full force on to the foot,
going plump through the middle of 1t,
and leaving only very slight amount
of uncut skin and flesh near the little
toe, and the inside hollow of the foot.
Tom is very plucky, and he knew that
he must get out of the woods or bleed to
death. Accordingly. he corded his leg
tightly and came one mile alone before
reaching help, leaving red trail the
whole distance on the snow. DIR. A. NJ.
Ruggles was called to dress the wound.
and will try to grow the foot together.
TRAMPs.-The warm pleasant weather
has thawed out and revived the tramps,
and they are as sprightly and ravenous
after their winters Information as bears.
On Friday last, the advance guard ap-
peared in town and sought an interview
with Geo. w. Jenness, overseer of the
poor. Mr.. Jenness is generous man,
and he proceeded at once to supply his
guests with bread and butter. While
the first four were going through the
give loaves" another squad arrived. and
ordered supper, lodging and breakfast
Bread and other substantial food was
passed round, and the lubberly vagabonds
having been filled pulled out their pipes
sat down in a comfortable place and no.
tilted Mr.. j. that they intended to STOP
with him over night. They had made q
slight mistake in their man. While the
overseer is ready as private individual
to feed the poor, and as town Official
to take care of deserving paupers, ht
does not propose to furnish the most del
icate food, or the softest beds 90 tht
tramp fraternity. Scatter little par
leying hio guests we're invited to star
for the depot. They were very reluctan
to move, but a few resolute men haC
stepped in, who were ready to furnish ;
little muscle if it seemed necessary, anC
the aspect of affairs began to be so bel
ligerent that they fell in, took up thei
old refrain, tramp, tramp, tramp" etc.
and went to the depot where a stronl
box car was to receive them for tn
night. A little straw, pail of waite
and some provisions were furnished them
and they we're locked in. The first maj
arriving at the depot in the mornin
heard tremendous racket in the car
and would have fed from the prison
house in alarm, had he not learned tina
the sounds proceeded from the tram
prisoners who were crying for light an
liberation. They were let out and il
vited to take foot passage on the trac
for Canada. where they claimed to b
going. Some of them were lurking abOr
here during the day, but have now di'
appeared, probably going back anon
the farmers where they will meet wit
kindlier receptions.
There are two effective ways of riC
ding the State of these pests: One is
starve them out by utterly refusing the
food the other is to arrest them at ono
under the Vagrant Act, and put the
! into the care and keeping of the count
Jail keeper. Unless some vigorous mea
, ures are resorted to, there will be swar
: of these lazy, lousy, thieving creatur
, that will prey on US all summer, al
/ they ought to be dealt with as they d
, serve. They will be arrested if thu
prowl about this vicinity.
