Blackjack in Vermont.

Harry Moves OF Hyde Park, VT ,
shot this season pair of birds that |
think were without doubt hybrids, a
cross between ruffed grouse and
blackjack.
These birds were found in Cam
bridge, this state, not far from Mid
dlebury, where the writer had some
years ago few pair of blackjack re-
leased. These hvbrids were fully
one-half larger than large ruffed
grouse, and the dark bands were a
light chestnut color.
For several years after blackjack
were released we had favorable re-
ports Of their breeding, and have nc
doubt that they have by this time
spread over considerable extent OF
territory, and if they are crossing
with our native grouse it will please
the majority of our spoitsmen, as
they will make a larger mark tc
shoot at, and also give little more
meat in the pot.-Sheldon CORE

BIG FIRE in HARTLAND.

Blacksmith and WheeIright ShcF
Burned Monday Loss Estimated
at SIS, 400-Will Probably be Re-
built.
Hartland was visited by one of the
most disastrous fires in many years
Monday morning, when Mechanics
block, owned by Dickinson & Dur
phey, in which were blacksmith,
wheelright and paint shops, was de-
stroyed.
The loss was $4,000, with insur-
ance of $500. The building will
undoubtedly be rebuilt by the junior
partner, f. A. Durphey, about one
half mile farther up the brook.
The cause of the fire is unknown.
There is no fire apparatus at Hart
land and the Windsor company was
asked to help, but the flames spread
so rapidly that the Windsor fremen
did not go up, the distance being
four miles.
The firm employed from five to sew
en- men, and had a great reputation
for building sleds and snow rollers.
The shop was one Of the landmarks
Of the town, having been built dur
ing the 30's by a Mr.. Hamilton.
Mr.. Dickinson had recently re-
moved to Keene, N. H., and was pre-
pairing to give up his business inter
ests in Hartland. The shop had been
doing well under Mr. Durphey's man
and there was heavy stock
IF carriages, etc, paints and warm
shes.

The Imperative Need of Complete
Sewer System.

A recent investigation into the
methods of disposal of sewage in
this village reveals what was gener-
ally known before, but the facts
and figures again emphasize the ne
cessity of a sewerage system here
that will accommodate the whole
village. Here is what the inquiry
shows:
In the village are 422 faucets, POI
closets and LAG baths. OF these the
outlets are : l49 into the river, 100
into the brook, 81 into cesspools and
46 into the village sewer,
In taking into account this dis
posal of sewage the river and brook
must be reckoned as practically the
same thing both flow through the
village and each receives about the
same quantity of foul matter-a food
of filth which defles the air and en-
dangers the whole community, year
in and year out. There is no escape
from it anywhere, and there can be
no evasion of responsibility by the
citizens who allow such conditions
to exist and oppose any change.
Look at the figures again: OF 355
water services only about 13 per
cent. have outlets that strict sanitary
regulations would permit; 300 SER
vices are daily discharging into the
two streams and are thus made a
source of danger instead Of being a
help to the health of the commu-
nifty.
Figures are not necessary to prove
that this broad distribution of filth
is continual menace to health, but
a careless people are likely to let the
busy bacteria keep working away be-
cause they are not visible and don't
befog the landscape, until the evil
takes the form of illness and cpl
demic from which recovery and re-
turn to normal and sanitary condi-
tons is slow and more expensive
than measures of precaution taken
now.

LYNX VS.. WILDCAT.
Lesson in Natural History Drawn
from a Specimen Killed in Rut-
land County.

IaHu OOunty.
Attempt is made to start discus
sion in this vicinity as to the species
of the animal killed in Shrewsbury
and sold to Mayor ] F. Manning OF
this city, says the Rutland News, who
desired to have it mounted. A Rut-
land newspaper states that "there are
many who claim that it is an unusu-
ally large bob cat and not a bay
lynx as stated"
There is evidently chance for a
lesson in natural history here. Any
person who has even slight acquain-
lance with these animals, knows that
the term ebay lynx" and "wiIdcat'
are synonymous and that naturalists
give eastern North America only two
varieties, the bay lynx Qynx rufus)
and the Canadian lynx (lynx Cana
densis), the name "wildcat" being
occasionally applied to both.
The first named is the smaller OF
the American "wildcats" and it has
a more southern range than its big
cousin, which inhabits the northern
wilderness and only strays as far
south as Vermont on rare occasions.
Its name varies in different parts of
the country, "bob cat" being one OF
the most common.
The bay lynx lacks the prominent
ear tufts OF the Canadian species, is
smaller in every way, and is usually
OF a more tawny color. The speci-
men killed in Shrewsbury had very
indistinct ear tufts and was Of yellow
tinge.

BRIGGS.

The laws of our commonwealth,
it seems to me, are a trifle one
sided. For instance, if person
who is known in his home as a
peaceable citizen and a man who
but seldom INDUCES in anything in
toxicating, should happen to be seen
going home little "sprung," but
minding his own business, how
quick he is gobbled up and perhaps
by person who disturbs the public
peace in some other way dozen
times, while the first one is fined to
the extent of the law, while on GER
tain occasions boys and quite often
men in middle life will go through
our streets cutting up all manner Of
meanness and keeping peaceable
citizens awake two-thirds of the
night. What for? Oh, to have a
little fun. Well, if ones little fun
cost him from five to twenty dollars
for the public good, give the other a
dose of the medicine.
