sible.

Vermont is famous according to our
poet for her handsome women, feet
horses and sweet maple sugar and Bethel
keeps up her share OF the reputation in all
three. We recently told how many pounds
OF maple sugar were shipped from this
station in the month of May bringing a.
bout ten thousand dollars back to the
producers. Last week there was a big
boom in Bethel feet horses. In the first
place NJ. G.. Sanford sold his stylish bays
To T. c. Evans and Eugene Moody of
Waterbury, Conn, for $3.50. Then Sey-
mour and Searle bought four horses, one
each of Ed Church, Squire Bowen, Elias
Bowen and Charles Allen. Then F. H.
Marks sold his span to parties from Wal
pole, N. II.
THE ARENA for June has come to hand.
1t contains a number OF interesting papers
by class Of writers whom it is hard to
classify. Some OF them are pessimistic in
the extreme. That side of current ques-
tions has its uses, and the study of 1t may
keep us sober minded in our prosperity
But some of these writers build mountains
out of mole hills, and threaten us with ey
lis remotely possible, helped forward per-
haps, by such stimulus as can be found In
these writings. However, every paper is
suggestive of thought, and II one has plen
ty OF time to read up what may serve as an
antidote to all that is chimeTical and So
cially heretical in this review, it is all right
for il can be endured. II is clear that some
OF the writers have personal grievances
and are anxious to ventilate them. Lei
them ventilate.
