ADDISON SHEEP SELL.
Bring High Prices in Australia
Notwith STANDING the Drouoht

The following clipping from the Sydney
(Australia) Mail of July will give Yer
monters an idea of how Addison county
sheep sell in that far away country. In
reading the prices 1t should be remem-
bered guinea is worth about So. The
paper says =
1.-The annual stud sheep sales were
commenced on Monday at Bradley's
Head Quarantine Grounds, where a
number of Vermont merinos recently i'm
ported from the United States were sub
mltted. About $50 people were in at
tendance. Generally speaking, prices
were low, though in many instances
bidding was keen, and sheep changed
hands at satisfactory rates. Sheep of
high quality. however, were literally
sacrificed, and several others were passed
in or withdrawn. Doubtless, the lack of
keener competition for favorite class of
sheep was due to the prolonged drought
and it was in anticipation of results that
Mr.. II. 5. Badgery prefaced his remarks
in opening the sale. Mr.. Badgery, after
referring to the interference with the
prosperity of the country, and the way
In which the continued absence of rain
took the heart out of the people, re-
minded buyers that the return to better

greatest demand, and prices would rule
high. chance was given, he said, to
pastoralists to rebuild their studs with
the best strains, and the opportunity Of
general improvement should not be
missed. Good seasons or bad it was the
practice to give special attention to stud
sheep, and in their case hand-feeding was
not misfortune.
=" Most of the sheep offered were from
strains well known to Australian pas
toralists. On the whole the ewes passed
of better than the rams, although the
average of the later was well in adj
vance-fact largely due however to isola-
ted high prices. The highest figure was
paid for the ram Premier, grand cham
pion in his class at the Pan-American
Exhibition, which was secured by
Messrs. E. Webb G. Co., of Bathurst, for
40 guineas. Mr.. j. S. Hersfall paid 260
guineas for the ram Vermont, and the
Jondaryan Estate, Darling Downs, secur-
ed one for 200 guineas. The ewes real
lied up to 20 guineas. Throughout the
rams averaged about 80 guineas and ewes

Who Planted the Trees?

The first record we find of the planting
of trees in the village mentions that
about 2000 had been set on the college
grounds previous to 1871. They sur
rounded the entire grounds including the
present graded school yard. The locusts
were of SO rapid growth that many of
them were planted, bat very soon an in
sect called the borer destroyed nearly all
of them. When the Episcopal church
was built in 1926 the ladies of the society
planted a row of Films on three sides,
20 feet apart and 20 feet from the walls.
Some were removed when 1.-THE railroad
was built and others when the chapel
was built. The common was graded and
enclosed with substantial fence in 1899,
when a great effort was made to adorn it
and other parts of Il e village with trees,
The large elm standing near the north
east corner of the Congregational church
was set out at this time by Rev. Thomas
A. Merrill. There are three trees be-
tween the said church and the common,
forming tragic, an elm, oak and wal
nut. the record of which the writer Is
unable to find. Some of the naples in
front of Murray block were set by Z.
Vallette about 1865. A Lomhardy poplar
tree recently set between the chapel of
the Episcopal church and the railroad in
memory of Mrs. Patt was taken from
tree planted by her husbands father
more than hundred years ago in front
of the old homestead on Cumberland
Head In full view of the naval battle of
1914 at Pattsburgh.
The evergreens in south park, front of
the museum. were set in 1855 on the first
arbor day appointed by the Governor.
If any persons knowing who planted
treesin the village will notify the writer,
they will be placed on record in the
museum. SAM.

SCOTS MARROW ESCAPE.
Badly Burned in the Fire at the Hoboken
Docks.
(By the Associated Press.)

New York, March 19.-Chief Engineer
Scott, who it was supposed persisted n
the fire at the Phoenix pier last night,
walked into a Hoboken hotel today. He
was badly burned about the face, and
said he had had dreadful experience.
He said that shortly after he had
gone to his room last night he smelled
smoke, and on investigation saw the
ship was on fire. Scott, who is a suffer-
er from rheumatism, CROPPED his way
along the deck and took refuge in large
cattle pen on the ships deck. Here he
was Joined by one of the firemen of the
ship. The smoke and flames soon drove
them from the pen. Scott then faster
ed a wire rope to stanchion and
threw one end overheard. He then slid
down the rope to lighter lying along
side the burning steamer, where he re-
manned until rescued
Scott said he did not see the fireman
after he, Scott, made his escape, and
does not know what became of him.
rumor that number of cases Of
cartridges were on the pier at the time
of the fire last night, and that they were
destined for the use of the Beers in
South Africa, lacks confirmation.
