CROPS DESTROYED BY GAME.

"The farmers about Huthland, Vt,
are up in arms against the ravageS
that are committed on their crops by
the game, which is maintained ana
protected in that State. They SAY
that the deer tnd bears are Destroy
ing many times their worth OF farm
produce, and that they will not en-
dure it. One farmer has made q
complaint to the game league, and
demanded indemnity for the losses
that he has suffered He asserts that
he has to drive the deer out Of BIS
field every morning. 1t ls reported
that within y mile of RuthIand it is
no uncommon thing to meet deer
trotting fearlessly along the pnb'ic
highway. They are AS gentle AZ
dogs, and in the mounta1as feed with
the farmers cows. Black bears, too
are almost as numerous as the deers
and quite as ventlresone."
1t is nothing unusual for the farm
ers to have to sntfor, that special In
