The firm of Bickford. Morse q Co, who
| have been negotiating with parties in this
| city for some time with n purpose of To-
| eating here, will probably go to Hardwick.
At n recent meeting of the city council
II was voted to exempt the firm from tax
alton for a term of years, but the listers
and the board of civil authority refused
| to act in the matter and this seems to be
where the hitch is hinged. 1t is stated
that the town of Hardwick has offered
the firm four acres of land, exemption
from taxation for ten years and $500 in
cash. This bid eclipses anything that the
city OF Montpelier would do and II is prob
able that Hardwick will gather in the
plum.
Deer are reported as being very plentl-
full throughout Washington county and in
some towns they are reported as dwelling
in herds. 1t is claimed by Il resident of
( Berlin that he recently found two large
bucks In combat and that one of them
was nearly dead from the result of the
fight. Evidently these creatures believe
in the efficacy of the law recently enacted
for their protection.

probably eclipses anything in the history
of the State and which has hardly been
cqualled by few towns or cities in any Of

expended in pubic buildings, blocks, resi-
denccs and tenement houses will uggre-
gate nearly sS500n and with the compile
ton OF the buildings that are now IN pro-
cess of construction the amount will be
augmented to the 100000 mark. Some oi
the notable buildings that have been
erected during the past season are IN,

completed and on which there has been
expended up to date $4,000; the r. ). j. G.
