was again seized with choking at
tack and finally brought up the half of
peanut, which had apparently lodged
on his lungs or in the bronchial tubes
and remained there all winter. Inme-
date relief was experienced and the
little fellow is now as well as ever.
A consignment Of 10000 trout fry
has been shipped from the United
States hatcheries at st. Johnsbury to
ii. i. Noyes Of Rutland to stock a pond
near that city. The fish are about five
weeks old and were shipped in gal
vanlzed iron tanks, each of which
would hold eight or ten gallons Of
water. The fry were not much more
than one inch in length and there were
5000 OF them in each tank. Several
tanks containing ice were set among
those containing the fry thus keeping
the temperature of the water low
enough so that they could make the
trip in safety without a fresh supply
of water being given them. 1t is neces-
sary that the water in the tanks be
stirred occasionally, otherwise the fry
will crowd together at the bottom and
those unfortunate enough to be under
meath the others will die.
Rev. ID. j. 0'Sullivan of st. Adams
has created something of a sensation
in that city by statements made in
sermon delivered recently. He said
that Catholics had taken as a matter of
course the fact that since the founding
Of Vermont not once had there been a
Catholic appointed to public Office
not an elective but an appointiye
cfiice-not a superintendent OF educa-
ton, not a chaplain in the reform
school or the asylum, or public insti-
tuition. He said Protestants would
complain if the state university was
presided over by Catholic priest; if
the professor of history were a Cath
Ollie priest, who did not own even one
Protestant history in his whole library;
If the commencement exercises were
invariably held in the cathedral in
Burlington; ii the baccalaureate SER
mon was invariably preached by
Catholic priest or by a bishop, who
threw out often sly hints and innuen-
does against the Protestant faith. He
objected strongly to the school histories
in use, claiming that they dealt in
what he termed an unfair manner
with the Catholic doctrine in general.
The movement to have New Hamp-
shire cooperate with Vermont In
toll bridges across the
connecting the states had q
narrow escape and was only saved by
is passage by the New Hampshire leg
islature over Gov. Batchelder's veto.
The vote was 1921, and single
change would have defeated the pas
sage of the bill The bill was intro
duced by Winston Churchill at the re-
quest of the sullivan county delega-
ton. IL provides for the appointment
of a civil engineer 10 look into the
subject of freeing toll bridges and
the cost of so doing, and
also 20 investigate the feasibility of
other bridges in common
with the state of Vermont. The engi-
neer is to act in conjunction with the
commission already appointed by the
legislature of Vermont. The bill
$4,000 annually for
carrying on the work to completion.
The proposition hinges upon the con-
dition that Vermont shall pay half the
expense of the undertaking. Gov.
of New Hampshire said the
bill was loosely drawn, and that Il was
incredible that Vermont would pay
Dne-half the expense as New Hamp-
shire owns six-sevenths of the river.
He thought the result would be that
Vermont would pay proportionate
share and that the almost immediate
cost to New Hampshire would be at
least S2j0.000.
