a proud rank as the following facts
cleaned from the seventeenth annual
report of the United States Geological
survey attests:
In the total production of stone of all
kinds PENNSYLVANIA alone leads us, while
in marble we have big lead over all 9th
ers and are second in slate and third in
granite. The following are the official
figures for 1896: Value of stone of all
kinds, Pennsylvania, $685., 451; Vermont,
$3,254647. Marble, Vermont, 1921, 59S
$l,647,751 ; Vermont $625,331 Granite,
Massachusetts, 81, 919, 1874 Maine, j, 100000
Vermont, 81 ,O07, 71S. The report, in speak
ing of the granite industry says: ut is
interesting to note that Vermont is the
only granite producing state which has
regularly increased i'll output, so that for
last year the figures reached maximum.

of your correspondent relative to the
number of deer killed in Vermont dur
ing the recent open season. We give
list by towns:

Bridgewater, 4 Plymouth, 81; Royalton,

/. This makes total of "a from the whole
state thus far heard from. 1t is probable
that further reports will put the figure up
to an even 100. In IA cases the weights

or over MendOn reports the capture alive
Of fine buck three years old and wants
to know what to do with him.
At the time the open season question
came before the legislature it was
claimed that Essex county was the
storm center for deer. The returns do
not seem to indicate it, for instance,
Windsor county reports 81; Rutland
county 26; Essex county 4. The read
er can draw his own conclusions.
