Several fine deer make Chittenden, some
twelve miles from Rutland, their home. 1t
was among the mountains of that town that
their progenitors were placed some years
ago While the descendants scattered
among the mountains to the north and
south, the largest number seem 10 hover
about their early home. A herd If about
half dozen have selected their winter
quarters in sort of basin on the mountains
in Chittenden. A quiet, tame deer has dur
ing the summer herded with the cattle of
John Baird, IA farmer of that town During
the day the animal would go off into the
woodland To browse, hut at night rarely
failed to come home with the cows He
seems to know the family, and shows no
fear, hut when a stranger appears he pricks
up his ears and starts on full gallop for
the wooded muuntain side
The laws Of Vermont are very stringent
for the protection of deer But one has ever
been known TO he killed, and that was shot
in Mendon about a year ago and the carcass
sold to Rutland marketmeu and offered for
sale. The party claimed ignorance of the
law. hut he was arraigned in the municipal
court and fined $50 and costs. The first
animals were purchased by Gen. w Y. W.
Ripley some ten years ago and left 10 roam
among the mountains, and are evidently
yearly increasing -Be1miHafon BdHhc,.
