n DEER CASE.

Rutland, April 15.-Judge j. M.
Tyler in county court, yesterday. ruled
that unless a deer's horns we're long
enough so the hunter could see them
before shooting it would be illegal to
kill the deer in the open season. Fol-
lowing the expression of this opinion
the jury returned verdict of guilty
in the case of the State against Elmer
e. st. Johns of Hubbardton and he
was fined 800 and costs. st. John
killed the deer in question last fall.
The testimony went to show that the
horns we're not long enough to be seen
through the hair.
Judge Tyler in this charge said
1.-THE view of the court is that the
evidence of all the witnesses, including
the respondent, shows that the deeI
had no such horns as give notice to the
hunter that he might shoot him. In
other words, the horns must be visible,
not merely discoverable by touch but
they must be of such length as to give
notice to the hunter that he may kill
the deer ID the open season.

RANDOLPH.

The event of the season in the enter
tainment line was the presentation of
III. M. S. Pinafore' Thursday and
Friday evenings. Charles O. Beedle
of Keene, N. H.. was conductor and
much of the success of the opera
should be credited to him. DR.. W.
M. Kelly exemplified his skill as
stage manager. The cast with about
twenty five members in the chorus ap-
peared in costume and special mention
could be made of each individual palt
in the cast which was as follows:
Sir Joseph Porter, A. H. Beedle;
Capt. Oorcoran. DR.. A. O. Bailey;
Ralph Rackstraw, DR.. W. M. Kelly;
Bobstay, d. O. Woodward; Boatswain,
O. A. Lang; Josephine, Miss Grace
Lamson; Hebe, Miss @. Kate Howard;
Little Buttercup, Miss Gail Lamson.
Special mention should be made of
John l.. Hutchinson, member of the
chorus, who, on account of the un-
avoidable absence of @. A. Lang, took
the part of the Boatswaiu after having
but one rehearsal in that part, and
carried it through in a manner beyond
criticism. Between the acts a duet
"Deed l Do" by DR.. Kelly and Miss
Lettie Bailey was very pleasing
speciality and on Friday evening the
song. "Tell Me Dusky Maiden, 'by
double sextette, met with hearty APP
plause from the audience. The pro.
ceeds of these entertainments will be
placed in the treasury of the Randolph
Musical Association. under whose di-

UNCLE SAM'S FARM ms UR.
ANCE.

There is a seed time and harvest at
Washington, and just now it is largely
seed time. Nearly every member of
Congress and every Senator has his
desk piled high with requests for flow
er and vegetable seeds and all sorts of
vines. Mr.. Galloway, superintendent
of the bureau of plant industry, is
just now very busy man. Contrary
to usual belief, the government does
not raise all it's own seeds on it's own
farms and experiment stations, but
purchases seed by contract. Twelve
thousand packages 60 to ninety Sem
ators and fifteen thousand to 1856 Con-
gressmen, with four hundred pack
ages of flower seeds thrown in for
good measure. Pink labels Indicate
the plain, plebian vegetable seeds.
lavender labels the patricIan flower
seeos. and third color for the nursery
plants and vines
/ was interested when shown day 8
business on IL Senator's desk, and there
l noticed an invoice for seeds, as fol-
lows:
One hundred and two packages vege.
table seeds,
Fifty .one flower seeds.
Twenty grape vines.
Ninety strawberry vines.
Nearly every session there is pro-
test against this drift toward pater-
nalism in the distribution of seeds,
and every session there is a grand
rally to the rescue; nearly the entire
Congress stands pat on the side Of seed
deserving constituents. OF course the
idea often suggests itself, why not
send boots and shoes as we'll as peas
and beans, and why not send groceries
on this same theory? But this argu.
ment will scarcely hold, for no one
can deny that the seeds have much to
do with the splendid development of
the agricultural resources of the ma
ton. The few dollars expended in
seeds bring back hundred.fold it's
value. and it ill becomes the critics of
the seed distribution to sneer at this
time-honored custom, for the real
basis of the wealth of country comes
from the soil. 1t was the agrioul-
tural reserve force that withstood even
the quaking of Wall street when stocks
and bonds were tumbling like house
of cards From Affairs at Washing

National Magazine for April.
