trespass qUdre cldUSum for crossing plant

boro South pond and fishing in its waters.
The plaintiff introduced a long line of
copies of deeds from the first proprietor of
lot or right No. II, in which the pond is
situated, down to the present owners and
the lands four rods wide around the pond
to the plaintiff. 1t was conceded that the
pond covered an area of - acres, but
plaintiffs claimed the conveyances to them
embraced the waters of the pond, and all
right and interest therein; that they had
posted the waters as required by law, and
that defendant had fished in said pond
subsequent to said posting After the
plaintiff club had submitted a statement of
what they claimed for their side of the case,
the court observed that 1t was purely a
question of law to be determined, and up
on plaintiffs claim he would direct a YER
dict for the defendant, which he did do,
and the case will pass to the supreme court.

The Vermont Sugar Makers.

A St. Adams despatch says that several
licensed sugar-makers in that part of the
state purpose to unite in prosecuting their
claims against the United States govern
ment for payment of the sugar bounty due
them, and their claims have already been
placed in the hanls of Harvey Spalding 81

ment in the matter.
The licensed sugar-producers in Yer,
mont, for the season of 1894, numbered
upward of 1000. Their product was over
100000 pounds of maple sugar which
underwent the polariscopic test at the gov.
eminent laboratory. Fully 90 per cent OF
the sugar passed inspection above the sc
per cent requirement. which made about
100000 pounds entitled to receive the
bounty of II cents pound, the prod,

if any, checks in payment of the earned
bounty were received by producers prior tC
the passage of the Wilson bill. The

Revealing Lost Forests.

In connection with the discussion before
New York's constitutional convention re-
garding the preservation of forests the an
nouncement was made that France was
spending S35 100000 for the reforestation
of lands, and was soon to spend as much
more, while Germany is also spending enor-
nous sums for the same purpose. This
shows that the talk about the need of pre-
serving the forests is not the production of
a few cranky individuals, as many people
seem to think, but is a serious question. In
New York the problem has assumed a Sc.
rious phase and the people of the metrop-
oils are already wondering where their next
supply of water will be obtained, as the
Croton supply is now 50 limited as to occa-
sion serious anxiety. The water in the
Hudson is becoming so low that it is with
great difficulty that large crafts can make
their way up that stream as far as Albany
and Troy.
Along the Ohio river, also, the effects of
the widespread destruction of forests are
seriously felt At certain periods of the
year disastrous drouths are experienced
that are new in the history of that section,
while in other seasons, and especially in
the early spring, the waters which formerly
found their way gradually to the valleys
from the mountains, owing to the protec-
volume suddenly, and devastating floods
that sweep away human lives as well as
property in their course are the result.

HALIFAX FAIR.
The Weather Clerk Sent Rain,
as Usual,
But There Was Fair show of stock
and II Good Exhibition in the Hall.


and Good Exhibition in the Hall.
Halifax held her 18th annual fair Wednes-
day, Old Probs furnishing the usual dose of
wet weather for the occasion-rain in the
morning and an occasional sprinkling
through the day. The Wilmington cornet
band was in attendance with j. II. Kidder
as drum major, and kept up the spirits of
the crowd by its lively music.
The show of live stock was not as extern
sive as usual,-a fact beyond question to
be attributed to the weather. The very
dry summer, and the high price of corn
prepared us for a show of animals not up
to the standard in appearance, but we were
agreeaby disappointed. Individually and
collectively they were of good quality-bet-
ter than were shown last year. Horses
and working cattle were the best exhibits
The show of dairy cows was very small.
This, we think, is not right, for Halifax
depends largely upon the income derived
from the cream from its cows, and the
farmers should show each other and the
public from what source they cOntrive to
swell their bank accounts. The show
of poultry was good. In the hall was
found good exhibit, equal to previous
years. The fruit was of even grade, fair
SIZE anu SOOu quantity. Inc vegetables
were also good and showed no effects of
the dry weather A lively foot-race was in
dulged in by Arthur Perry, Albert Larrabee,
Ernest Bckford and Henry Learnard, who
came in in the order named Perry winning a
pair of sheepskin mittens valued at 81, Lar
rabee 81 in cash, Bickford so cents and
Learnard % cents. The sack race was
contested by A. Larrabee, Chas. Cain,
Nottingham, and Archie Morse-Larrabee
getting S1.50 in cash. The show was
greatly handicapped by funeral in town
and another in an adjoining state which
took away several leading exhibitors, max
ing a great difference with the grounds.
The show of pastry was large, being encour-
aged by an offer of 81 in cash for the best
loaf of bread. Mrs. May Jones received
$125 and Mrs. F. c.. Beck 70 cents.
Taking everything into consideration
we have nothing but praise for the enter
pris shown by the good people of Halifax.
The premium list will tell the story more
fully:

How the Tax on Playing Cards is
Avoided.

The tax on playing cards of two cents
for each set is not likely to yield much
revenue after the present stock of cards
has been exhausted. The law provides
that two-cent stamp must be placed on
each set of not more than "a cards. Fifty
two cards make a pack, but an odd one
known as the joker is always put in, max
ing the number 80. 1t will be only neces-
sary now for playing card makers to put in
three jokers, and the joke will be decidedly
against the government. That will increase
the number to 80, and the whole pack will
then be exempt from taX.-ImericdH Cui-
