burg & Lake Champlain railroad. He was
born at Randolph, August %, 1922 and en-
tered the railroad service at the age OF
eighteen. During the active years OF his
business life, Mr.. Hobart received several
flattering offers from large railroad corpora
tions outside OF New England, but he was
ever loyal to the old Central Vermont rail- |
road and to the Green Mountain State, |
where he was content to pass his life. He |
was married in 1853 to Mary Jane Howe OF |
Royalton, a sister OF s. l.. Howe Of Mont |
peler, who with one son, Norman l.. Ho- |
bart OF Boston survives him. Mr.. Hobart |
| was director OF the Weldon National
| Bank, and was one of the organizers and
| directors OF the National Car Company, and
vice-president and q director of the Fletcher
| Granite Company. His funeral was held
| on Tuesday afternoon from st. Luke's Epis-
| copal church at st. Adams, OF which he had
| for many years been staunch supporter.
In Mr.. Hobart's death Vermont loses one OF
| her illustrious sons Of whom she was Justly
| proud, and one who always had the welfare
of his native State at heart.

A HANDSOME buck deer weighing $50
/ pounds said to have been shot on the pre-
, vious Monday by man named Carney,
, was found last Sunday near Middlesex
Center. The wanton destruction of deer
, that has characterized the open season thus
far in Vermont, has radically changed the
sentiment OF the people toward an open sea-
, son, and there is little doubt but that one Of
: the first acts the legislature Of 1898 will be
asked to pass will be one to repeal the law
providing for an open season in the month
| Of October in Vermont. Some Of the news
! papers OF the state have even agitated an
I extra session of the legislature for that
Z purpose, inasmuch as a law passed next
: October would not be operative until after
, the open season Of 1893. 1t is believed that
, even the very few farmers who urged the
-: passage OF the law providing an open sea-
!: son, on the ground that deer had injured
| their crops, would now be among the first
to vote for its repeal. These beautiful ami
mails that have been 30 ruthlessly slaughter
!. ed since October are distinctive part OF
i the attractions OF Vermont and the state
: has no use for, neither is there a demand
u for an open season.
