MOUNT HUNaER "scRAP."

John Johndro, new conner last spring,
hsiling from Ripton Flats, bought and is
occupying the upper rung OF Hunger's
ladder-otherwise be ronsts on top. John
has the name of being a good worker and
has put this abundant farm in shape for
crops. Almost under him lives Judson
Morse on the old well Unknown Smith farm.
Judson has two fine looking cows for
milk, which may be accounted for by
their long foraging expeditions higher up
the mountain. Mr.. Morse's predecessors
were not inclined to lay out much work
in fencing so the cows have enjoyed free
access to many acres and in some of their
journeyings they called on Neig bbor John
dro, not to his liking, and on one occs-
sion he marched them to the town pound,
but they were let OF at a small cost with
the assurance that they would be taken
