est:
Now as to Lake Griffith formerly

Bulfum pond) l am not going to al
low any fishing in the Lake or in the
branch between the lake and the Long
Hole and Including the Long Hole
this season. The only thing neces'
sary now 10 be done is the fencing
and | will have it fenced before May
lst. and when this is done it becomes
lprivate property. | will have force
there all this season building houses,
making roads and paths, cleaning
brush etc, etc. There will be two
houses built at the lake and one, and
perhaps two, at the Long Hole.
have an idea if there is no fishing al
lowed there this season another year
| will be in shape to accommodate my
friends, and when fishing is allowed,
except | change my mind, there will
he no trout caught in these waters
that will not weigh ) or 6 or.
l am not going in to this for profit
hut for pleasure, 1t now looks as if
| would have at least S12000.00 in
vested in roads to Lake, buildings at
Lake and other improvements on the
land including the Enclosure GOO

these improvements, and you know
the use l am going to make of it, you

April 18th was the eighty-ffth an
niversary of the birth of our U. S.
Senator, Hon. Justin S. Morrill,.
Vermont, and every son of Vermont,
should join in congratulations. For
forty years he has represented us in
Congress in q manner that has
brought praise even from his political
enemies. No johbery, no trickery,
no dirty ringism has ever been con-
nected with his name. His ideal has
ever been high, lofty and noble.
A bove all he has been faithful, de-
voted, friend of education. TO his
influence over fifty colleges in the land
owe their existence. 1t is no wonder
that it is with calmnesS and cOmpla-
cence that he nears the end Of his ca
reer, although nova, days even eighty
five seems to be no bar to activity
with those who have passed serene
and temperate lives. In fact several
of our acquaintance appear all the
younger as they approach the nineties.
AS it stands now, the greatest aud
most Influential men upon both con-
tinents are of that class.
The listers have about completed
their rounds. Shall we have an hon.
est, square. grand list, one in which
no favoritism is shown is q peltinen:
