Water Pipes and Sewer System for North
Waipole.

Enterprise is not by any means confined
entirely to the Vermont side of the thrifty
community about Bellows Falls; North
Walpoe also has citizens who are deter
mined that that hustling suburb shall have
its share of modern improvements. Visi-
TORS to the other side of the river have
noticed for some time that the streets were
being dug up in an omiaous way and have
wondered what was up. The North Wal
pole Aqueduct Co, is responsible for
part of this disturbance. This company,
composed of C. j. O'Neil, P. 7. Griffin.
John Hassett and w II. Kiniry, practi-
cally controls the water supply; they have
built new reservoir in the ravine in the
rear of Mr.. Kiniry's house with head Of
about 80 feet and are laying large guam
tity of new eight, six and four inch water
pipe. This pipe replaces the old cement
pipe laid when Nathan Monroe inaugurated
his system.
On several occasions attempts have been
made to get a public sewer system fer
North Walpole but the project has always
been voted down, and SO few of the citi-
gems decided to put in sewer of their owr.
Accordingly an eight-inch pipe has been
laid from the Connecticut river along the
street on which William Mack's new house

Here for instance, is the recommendation
for the people to use DR. Greene's Ncrvura by
one of our greatest statesmen, Hon. II Henry
Powers, Morrisye, VT, Member of Congress
and Chairman of the Committee on Pacific
Railroads, Member of the Committee on cleo
ton of President and Vice President, and who
for sixteen years before taking his seat in Con-
gresS was Judge OF the Supreme Court. He
has also been State Senator and Speaker of the
Vermont House of Representatives. Surely
there can be no higher testimony in favor OF
remedy than the personal words of SO dstn-
guishcd a statesman and eminent judge, and
we doubt not that his testimonial and encour-
aging recommendation TO those who are out of
health to use DR.. Grcenes Neryura, Will result
in the cure of everyone who reads these lines,
for his advice will certainly influence all to iln-
mcdiately use DIR. Greene $ Neryura.

Woe 10 the Deer,

Sportsmen everywhere are looking for
ward with interest t, the open season for
deer, which will begin Friday, continuing
through October Naturally, there is
much speculation as to the most favorable
locality for the sport, the prospects for
which baye already brought hundreds OF
earnest inquiries from outside the state
This being the first open season si"ca the
law was enacted, years ago, alert sports.
men have deci led that the early bicd will
get the worm, hence many have arranged
to begin hunting at the earliest possible
day. Not only the fish and game commits
sion, of which John w. Titcomb of St.
Johnsbury is president, but the postmas-
tiers and town clerks in various places have
been asked for information concerning the
abiding place of deer.
While it is conceded that their haunts
are especially established in the vicinity OF
the headwaters of the Connecticut river in
Essex, Caledonia and Oileans counties,
it by no means follows that other counties
are not to be considered as affording fairly
good deer hunting, for there is hardly a
county in the state where the animal is not
frequently seen, oftentimes with the far
mer's herds grazing in the open fields and
sometimes following them to smaller in
closures at night. In some localities, in
fact, deer have become so tame as to in
trude upon the farm crops, though the
amount Of damage done by these animals
has probably been overdrawn by those
who have urged this as an open season

stocking the woods with large game

Sentenced for Life.

Justice James A Gale, of Bass River. is
in an uncomfortable position just at pres
ent. Last week some lads were brought
before him on a charge of disturbing a re.
ligious meeting. Without giving them a
hearing the justice imposed fine of S.
and costs, which was finally reduced to ST
without costs. One of the boys, who was
not given chance to make an explana-
nation, is said to have been perfectly in
nocent After the hearing some young
men were in the Justices office and ex-
pressed themselves very freely on the pro-
ceedings. The justice proposed to infict
punishment for contempt of court. Mus
grove Allen was very vehement in his re-
marks, and some of the young men init
mated that the squire dare not punish
him. This seemed to arouse the officials
ire and day or two later he had Allen
brought in and declared him to be a dis
orderly person, using loud, offensive and
profane language which disturbed the
proceedings. Allen was fined five dollars
and committed to jail. He arrived here
on Tuesday, but was soon liberated through
the efforts of his counsel, Eckard P. Budd
and Mark R. Sooy, who were allowed
habeas corpus proceedings by Judge
Gaskill.
The petition cites that the justice had
no right to send him to Jail; that the
sentence is for life if the fine is not paid
as it does not specify any definite period
as required by law; that the fine Is not
just and legal for the offence stated in the
commitment. because the facts and pro-
ceedings before the justice did not bring
the same within any of the causes specified
by the statutes permitting fine of five
dollars to be imposed or permitting the
Justice to commit the defendant to jail
The case will come up at the next term of
court, when Allen will sue for false i'm
prisonment and also for damages.
Prior to the sentence being inflicted,
Allen consulted counsel, who sent word
to the justice that he was undoubtedly
exceeding his authority. The latter re-
piled that perhaps the lawyers did not
know as much of the case as he did, and
he proposed to run his own court
