Harrison Dodge, the milkman, has
dehorned 27 of his 80 cows Mr..
Dodge has given the subject thorough
study and is a firm believer in it, as it
prevents the cattle from hooking each
other and makes them docile. He
says the operation if rightly perform
ed does not in the least injure the
COWS and they are all right as soon
as the Job is finished This method
has not been in general use here
abouts, but in the west it is largely
practiced. Farmers will watch the
outcome of this with much interest.
Last Saturday morning as A. B.
Rand was coming to the village and
when near Woodward's meadow, his
horse became frightened at a hand
car alongside of the railroad track
and ran away, throwing out Mr..
Rand. Fortunately he escaped injury
other than a serious shaking up,
which to say the least is remarkable
for a man over 20. Other teams
have been frightened at this object,
which is carelessly placed there by
the section hands while at work. 1t
is made the more dangerous by hang
ing coats on the upright part oil
the car and which readily brighten
teams as they pass by. 1t is hoped
that those in charge will be more
cautious hereafter and thereby avoid
serious accidents.
CEMETERY.-Then next institution
which Morristown ought to secure If
a new cemetery, in the control of a
cemetery association organized ae
cording to the laws of Vermont. Is
it not high time that such an assocl
alton should be formed, and the
grounds located? A thought of the
crowded cemetery here in the heart
of the village, SO near the railroad
that the burial services are frequently
interrupted by the locomotive, il
danger also from the fright of TIL
horses at the noise and smoke, undel
necessity OF speedy enlargement, (anC
which is well nigh impossible now,
and too compact to admit of any ar
tistic adornment, with no place for
tomb for winter use; these and othel
considerations make it seem as
there could be no opposition to thu
rather a general and loud call for
such a place where we may bury on
dead. AS to the location for such {
ground there might be some choice
and yet we believe a place could b
pointed out which would be quit
heartily accepted as just the place
If MorrisVille is to continue its lat
rapid growth said location is non
too far out; and it would always b
reasonably accessible. Who will NOV
it?
A CARD.-The undersigned desire to retur
