Slaughter of Deer in Vermont.

Commissioner H. G. Thomas of Stowe,
says the returns show that the number
of deer legally killed in the state during
the open season is 446 compared with
753 last year and 404 the year before, SO
that from figures it can be seen that the
slaughter this year exceeds only slightly
the number killed in 1902. Mr.. Thomas
has received reports of doe being killed.
He sent, shortly before the opening of
the deer season, which comes the last
ten days in October, blanks to all the
game wardens, postmasters and num-
Der of city and town officials. Many re-
turns come in the duplicate, but Mr..
Thomas weeds these out and by a cross
system, is able to scour the state pretty
thoroughly. 1t is safe to say that the
actual number killed is not many out of
the way from his figures.

A Carload Of Poultry Food.

@. II. Diller of Shippensburg, Penn.
not long ago purchased in a single order
$4,000 pounds of poultry food. TO some
the purchase of SO large an amount at

plains his actions in the following letter.
Il am pleased to say that l regard

cellent article. Perhaps no better
proof of my confidence in it can be of
fered than the fact that after giving ii
a thorough trial in small way, sent
a single order for 2S,00O pounds, and ex.
pect to send an even larger order the
coming season. AS an egg producer
think 1t cannot be excelled, even by
high-priced poultry foods which are be,

The DR.. GrinneII Case.

The second trial of the celebrated case
of DR.. a. p. Grinnell of Burlington,
brought two years ago for false inn
prisonment in New York, will be heard
this month. At the first trial DIR.
Grinnell recovered verdict of S12 800,
which was subsequently set aside on
appeal by the appellate division of the
supreme court of the state of New York
and new trial ordered 1t is said that
in all probability the grounds upon
which the former verdict was set aside
will not effect an ultimate recovery,
and it is within reasonable expectation
that verdict as large or even larger
than the previous one may be obtained
at the coming trial

Thursday night about nine o'clock
fire was discovered in a large barn, 5Ox10O
feet, belonging to Louis Edmunds in
Bethel. The barn held a large supply of
produce. The fire is thought to have
been of incendiary origin and was prob
ably set in more than one place. When
Mr.. Edmunds got to the barn he could
see the horses through the flames but
was unable to save them. He ran down
to the cellar and found fire burning
around the cows but not so fercely. He
rushed through the flames opened door
and let out ten of them but was badly
burned for his effort. Four horses, SO
tons of hay, some swine, three heifers
and trucks were burned. Only 81 600
insurance was carried on the barn and
contents and the loss is estimated at be-
tween s., 900 and $4,000.

known resident OF New Haven and Middle

The above death notice will bring sor-

was a resident of this county and its
popular and efficient high sheriff. He
was on visit in the East at the time of
his death. and had been in Buffalo, N.
Y, with his brother, having a most en-
joyable visit and apparently in perfect
health.
On the morning of election day he
went out with his brother when he went
to cast his vote and afterward took a
drive with him. On returning to the
house both of them sat chatting, talking
over boyhood days and other matters,
and he seemed to be in excellent spirits
His brother is something of an invalid
and has a trained nurse in attendance,
and she was in the room with him.
During the conversation Mr.. Trip got
up and walked up and down the room,
continuing the conversation, and uneX-
pectedly the nurse heard a sound of dis
tress from him and looking up saw that
he was suffering. She asked him if he
We're ill, and he replied that he had a
terrible pain in the pit of his stomach.
She led him to chair, but, seeing that
he was collapsing rapidly, laid him on
the floor with pillow under his head
and ran up stairs to get restoratives.
which she had on hand. These were
administered promptly and after a few
moments he appeared greatly relieved
and on the nurses advice remained on
the floor and chatted pleasantly about
his attack.
He them seemed to have an attack of
nausea coming on and raised himself up
on his elbow, but Immediately fell back
and was gone in moment.
1t was a great shock to all his friends
as they had no knowledge that he had
any heart trouble. His poor wife was
out of the house at the time but they
knew where she was and sent for her as
soon as possible, but he had passed away
before her arrival. 1t was her wish to
take him to California for burial, where
they had a delightful home and many
friends.

Honor to whom honor is due We at

eggs to the daily use of Pages Per-

increased in like proportion"

Collectors of Custo m s.

We heartily agree with the Randolph
Herald in regard to the merits of the
candidates for these two important Off
ces, the most lucrative offices in the
State:
"Now that another four years of Re-
publican rule is assured, naturally the
question of offices will come forward for
consideration. 1t is uncertain yet what
view the president will take, but we be-
lieve he will retain, as rule, all the fed =
eral officers who have given satisfaction.
BY so doing, he will not only save him
self, his advisors and his party unlimited
trouble, but will continue the general
excellence of the public service, without
the jar and risk that would come with u
wholesale turning out of tried and proven
incumbents and the coming in of new
men.
While this may be the rule, we be-
ieve there will be some exceptions.
Men who have held very lucrative posts
for the past eight years of Republican
control may be asked to step aside in
favor of other good men. And with JUS
tice. Here are the two Vermont colec-
torships, for instance. estimated to be
worth at least $4,000 year to the in
cumbents. Col. Merrill and Col. Mansur
have admittedly been efficient officers,
and well deserve the recognition that
came to them. But with these splendid
incomes for eight years they should be
satisfied to let go and see others equally
deserving take their places.
"In the Burlington district, j. l..
Southwick, o. M. Barber and Joseph
Aud are announced candidates for Col
lector Merrilps place. Either is worthy,
but it would come with particularly good
grace to the newspaper profession if one
of their deserving number like Brer.
Southwick could be named
"The candidates for the Newport col
lectorship are Col Curtis S. Emery of
Chelsea, Josiah Grout of Derby and +
G. Williams, a Newport lawyer. With
out word in deprecating the claims
of the last two, we hope the choice will
fall upon Col Emery. He has been a
good citizen of his town, county and
state. There is no flaw in his character,
no blot on his reputation. He stands
well at home and abroad. He is thor
oughly capable. He has never swerved in
his loyalty to party and has shown life
long activity for the cause. On town,
county and state committees, he has put
his shoulder to the wheel increasingly.
Last summer he devoted his whole time
to the campaign, and with Col. Chapman
took the brunt of the care and worry
and labor that led up to such pleasing
results in September. We see no good
reason why Col. Emery's strong support
should not make him favorite for rec
ommendation by the delegation"

Law Unconstitutional.

An opinion was handed down at Mont
pelier Nov 8, by Judge Munson in the
Rutland county case of State VS.. Abram
II. Abraham. The respondent was con-
victed in Rutland county court of selling
drugs without a license. The case came
to supreme court on demurrer, which
was argued at the last January term
The demurrer raises the question whether
section 1862, V. S., as amended by No
l22 of the Acts of 1892, is constitutional.
The claim is made in the demurrer that
this section is unconstitutional because it
discriminates in allowing dealers i'm gem
eral merchandise and widows and ad-
ministrators of deceased druggists to sell
drugs, chemicals or poisons without a
license. In the opinion handed down
the court sustains this demurrer and the
following entry was ordered: Judgment
reversed, demurrer sustained, informa-
ton adjudged insufficient and respond
ent discharged.
