TIE INV Doa-LAw, passed by the last
Legislature of Vermont, provides that every
owner or keeper of dog shall annually, on
or before the 3lst day of March cause it to
be numbered, registered. described and
licensed, for one year from the lst of the
ensuing April, in the ofdce of the town or
city clerk, and shall cause it to wear a
collar marked with its owners name and its
registered number The fee for the license
is two dollars, which is to go into the town
or city treasury. The penalty for keeping
dog not so registered, licensed and col
Jared, is SIS, one-third of which goes to
tho complainant and two-thrds to the
town treasury. The mayors of cities and
selectmen of towns are required to order the
police officers and constables to kill every
unlicensed and uncollared dog land any
person may, and every police officer and
constable shall. kill, or cause to be killed,
all such dogs whenever or wherever found, ="
to have dollar dog. Listers are requir-
cd to take list of all tho dogs, and there
is fine of $40 for every owner of u dog
who answers falsely to the listers respecting
the ownership OF his canine property; and
any city or town officer who wilfully neg
lects his duty under the law, may be pun
ished by fne Of 800.
If any person suffers loss by the killing,
manning or worrying of his sheep, fowls.
or other domestic animals, by dogs, hs may
call upon the mayor or selectmen to APP
praise the amount of the damage. which is
to be paid from the town or city treasury,
the treasurer having the right to recover
the amount from the owner of any dog
concerned in doing tho damage.
The dollar dog tax is repealed
This is pretty stringent law and it is
not likely that it will conduce to the multi
plication of dogs. There were 237 dogs
listed in this city, last year.

The DAIRYMEN's MEETING A Windham
county man who reports the recent meet
ing OF tho Dalrymen's Association in this
city for the Bellows Falls Times, closes his
report as follows:
On the whole the meeting was one of the
most successful of any the association has
ever held, and the remark was well made
by distinguished professor present from
Massachusetts. that ''only one man could
get up such u meeting" and his name is
Bliss. We learn that Windham county has
but three OF four names on the roll of mem
bership, and 1t is no wonder that our
county has the reputation of making the
worst butter of any county in the State.
Our farmers wont take the trouble to learn
anything in the way of making better
grade OF butter and are lett behind in the
race,
