The increasing damage done to shade
trees by bugs and worms calls attention
to the fact that Michigan, a state noted for
novel statutes, has enacted law requir-
ing all owners of trees and vines to spray
them with proper insectidos and fungi
cides. The law is compulsory and pro-
vides a penalty of fine or Imprisonment
for violations. This experiment i'll Mich
igan will be watched with interest in
other states, fol the tree-destrOying bug
nuisance has become alarming.
While there is every prospect of a good
price for hay i'll Vermont the coming
winter, it is announced that there is an
immense demand tor canal boats to bring
hay from Canada. 1t is said that enOr-
nous quantities of this product are
awaiting shipment and Canada hay will
of course largely profit from the situa-
ton. Every one knows that when farm
erS are prosperous retail trade and Dusi-
ness in general dependent thereon is
good, and inasmuch as hay is one of the
chief staple agricultural products of this
State our farmers are likely to keenly
feel this competition from Canada made
possible by present tariff.

PERIsHEs IN A BOUT WITH BRUIN.
A. j. johnson of Hartwellville, was in
North Adams last week, and in CONVEX
satlon with Transcript reporter stated
that he went to Crooked pond to try the
fishing and that he was accompanied by
fine brindle bull dog. While busy
welding the rod Mr.. johnson was sud
denly startled by the sounds of fight a
short distance away, and he knew by the
sounds that his dog had closed in with a
bear. The fisherman was entirely I'M
armed, but he made for the place in the
thick brush whence proct led the sounds
of the conflict. The dog was dead when
he reached the spot and the bear was
making off. Mr.. johnson got good
sight of the bear, which was full grown
and good sized one. The dog was badly
mutilated, one side of his head being
torn off and his shoulder and neck being
severely laceraJed
The dog was a pet of Mr.. Johnson'e
wife and lie knew she would feel very
bad about his death, as he did himself,
so he determined to give him as decent
a burial as circumstances would permit.
A rude grave was prepared at the scene
of the slaughter and lined with ever
greens, and poor Brindle, faithful and
noble specimen of his kind, was laid
away to his long rest, the grave being
marked by rude stake.

Tedious Suffering Finds Relief.

Haverhill, N. H.-Many physicians
have pronounced as incurable, diseases
of the skin and blood. Mrs. Hodsdon of
this place abandoned the old method
used Dr. Kehnedy's FavOrite Remedy
and was cured.
In October, 1890, Mrs. Hodsdon suf-
fered from diseased ankle bone. She
had always been troubled with Salt
Rheum which aggravated the diseased
limb. Prescriptions of all kinds were
used, but with no benefit. DR.. Kennedy's
Favorite Remedy was tried and it drove
the poison out of her blood, healed the
ulcerou sores, and restorsd Mrs. Hods-
don to health and strength.
Favorite Remedy cleanses the blood,
and strengthens the nerves. In cases of
scrofula and salt rheume, it never fails.

We 'called the family doctor, and he said that

would never have any more hair on his head"
and we were completely discouraged. We
were told to try CUTICURA REMEDIES and
did so. We used two boxes of CUTICURA, two

never think there was anything the matter

Mrs. Jane McLain who died on the 26th,

such that only few beside the family and
intimate friends were present. The rain
fell in torrents all the time. Rev. o. A.
Gillingham preached from the text "Be ye
therefore ready also," as it was her wish
that his remarks should be addressed to
the living. The choir sang 1T is well with

spring, and it is remarkable fact, that
all who knew her well seemed to love her,
and although so old there was such q
number who seemed to feel her loss very
deeply, outside of her family. She was an
eminent Christian, and has long been a
useful and consistent member of the Pres
byterian Church. Although unable to at
tend for many years she never heard the
