Highway Surveyor Hammond has
been laying "A walk along the west side
of Main street from Beckwith & Co. S
block to the stone bridge. 1t is of coal
ashes. He is also cleaning up the bord-
ers of the streets, removing loose stone
from the roadways and doing other
small jobs. The streets are. in the main,
in good shape and will need compara-
lively little work unless we have heavy
rains.
Monday was rather dull market day.
the farmers being too busy to come in.
Butter sold at Is cents for the best and
eggs at II cents. A year ago the price
of butter was % cents and of eggs II
cents. Potatoes have advanced in the
cities and buyers here are paying sc
cents Il bushel for them. There has als1
been something of "A boom in onions OF
late. Hay is of, IA good article bringing
50 IA ton and only the very best SO.
The weather up to yesterday had been
bright and warm, but it has begun tC
show symptoms of rain. The farmers
of all the region have had an excellent
opportunity to get in the crops. In the
village the dust is almost insufferable
especially when strong wind stirs il
up. The merchants are trying to ar
range to have the streets in the business
part of the town spriukled regularly ev-
cry morning through the season wher
they need 1t.
Two barns. with sheds connected, OF
Mr.. Buttolphs premises on the Bridport
road west of the Bolton place, were
burned to the ground about midnight OF
last week Thursday. The fire alarm wa;
sounded and Il number of the village PEG
pie went over, but there was nothing tC
be done. In the barns were some 30 ton:
of hay, a considerable amount of straw
and Il few farming tools. Mr.. ButtOlpl
places his loss at over $1,000. The insur
ance on the buildings and contents, in the
Vermont Mutual, was 1881, which ha'
been paid in full. The supposition is tina
tramps lodging there set the fire, but NJ
one knows anything about it.
AS is the case every spring, there il
much complaint on the part of residents
of the village who own gardens of the
depredatiOns of hens that are allowed tC
go at large. In portions of the village
they are great nuisance, but sufferers
| by them do not like TO find fault will
their nelghbOrs and so allow themselves
to be imposed upon year after year Tn,
village authorities seem to have NJ
power under the charter TO regulat,
the matter, that document giving then
authority over Seattle, horses, swine
sheep, dogs and geese only. There is
however. a general law of the State tina
covers the case. 1t reads: "a person
who, after notice thereof. shall knowing
ly suffer his hens, geese or ducks to g
upon the lands or premises of another
shall be fined not less than 81 nor more
than So" This appears TO furnish 1
sufficient remedy for those who are OPP
pressed, although it would seem as if thu
good sense of poultry owners might leaC
them to restrain their stock and thu
prevent it from botherlng others.
