established two pheasantries, one at St.

and protected till 1900. 1t is the purpose
OF the government to stock Haystack pond
in Wilmington, this season, first with
shrimp and afterwards with trout. This
beautiful pond, which is fed entirely by
cold springs, has been stocked several
times, but fish, for some unexplained rea-
son, have never thrived there. Now the
government proposes to experiment with
trout, first putting in the shrimp as food
fish. The pond, which is in the heart OF
the green mountain range, fully 1000 feet
above the sea level, covers hundreds OF
acres, Several parties are purchasing
ponds in different sections of the state for
stocking. L. N. Vail of Lyndon has just
purchased a trout pond in Sutton for pri-
vate uses and lot of sportsmen are look
ing over the brooks in Windham county
with a similar purpose in view.

The ''typos'' got our items slightly mixed
| in the last issIie of the TINES. What we in
tended to say was that s'S. X. Cobb had re-
| turned to his home here after protracted
stay with his daughter in Springfield, Mass,
| and that 'sthe writer bad found a purse con-
| tanning small amount of money which the
owner could have by proving property
The communication from Herbert w.
Leach in the last issue of the TIMES is slightly
misleading so far as it refers to your cores
pondent III this place furnishing the informa-
ton as to the adjustment and settlement OF
his late fire loss. The writer knew nothing
about the terms of settlement until it was
published in the locals of this paper and
therefore could not be responsible for any
/ statements they fit to publish in the mat
/ ter without his knowledge.
