ers. The village has nothing whatever TO
do with the laying of this walk, but its
citizens are cordially invited to tread
thereon when passing that way. The two
elm trees on Mr.. Evans land and so close

The laws OF Vermont have something
to say on the subject of loose stones in the
hig hway, many OF which are scattered
along the beautiful drives of w Randolph.
"Where there are loose stones in the trav-
eled portions of the highways, the sur
veyor or other person having charge OF
said road shall cause the highway TO be
examined at least once month, while IL
is bare Of snow, and such stones to be re-
moved" The law also ordains that II a
person has been ordered by the proper
aut horities, TO remove loose stones and
does not do it within three days OF motif
fication, she shall forfeit line of five
dollars for each days neglect thereafter
Five dollars day for few days would |
make quite hole in the average income, |
and rather discourage any one trying TO |
bid defiance TO the statute laws OF YER |
mont. One gentleman in the village has |
had the stones removed from part OF the |
road, where they were particularly nu-
merous, at his own expense.
