AS Lucius Goodheart, well-to.

farm in Braintrce about a mile from
Randolph village, was going to the
barns across the road from his house
to feed his stock about s o'clock
Saturday morning, he was attacked
by two tramps from behind, who
had evidently slept in the barn,
knocked down and robbed of his
watch and memorandum book that

In the fight the lantern was broken
and the barn was soon in flames.
The tramps escaped. He rushed
across the road to the house to give
the alarm and then returned to liber-
ate the stock. He succeeded in get
his cows out with much difficulty.
His wife came to his aid in her
night dress and released the horses.

DEER SHOOTING SEASON.

The deer killing season of 1890
closed at IL o'clock Tuesday night.
The open season this year was only
ten days. Last year it was thirty
one. Last year 1871 slaughtered
deer were reported to the game
commissioners and Mr.. Titcomb is
of the opinion that the full return
would increase the number to 100 or
40. Those reported were mostly
from Windsor and Rutland counties.
The first few days of this years
open season were very unfavo,able
for successful hunting, but the past
week conditions have improved and
it is expected that, making allow
ance for the shorter season, the
number of deer killed this year will
equal, if it does not exceed last
years record.
1t is very evident that under the
more stringent game laws of recent
wears deer are increasing rapidly in
Vermont.
Very few violations of the law
have been reported to the commits.

Mary and her little lamb. only it Is of
Zoe and his little dog.
Joe was II boy about 8 years old and
was devoted to small. lank BUDDY.
Out OF school hours boy and dog were
inseparablc, and Joe apparently could
not reconcile himself to the necessity
Of leaving the dog Mt home. For sew.
eral mornings the teacher allowed the
puppy to remain Mt Joe's feet under
the desk.
Then there came q day when the
small dog could not be kept quiet, but
frisked about, to the delight Of the
school and the dlsmay Of the teacher
"Joc,' she said firmly, you must
take that dog out"
Joe looked ut her mournfully, but
picked up the pup and. with Its head
against his cheek, started for the door.
The boys feelings were evidently hurt,
but he said nothing until lie reached
the door; then. giving his teacher n re.
proachful look, with n plying glance
toward his dog, he said slowly. "And
