SHEEP SUFFER.
Many Lambs Lost-Quail
Also Starving to Death.

The severe weather Of the past
two weeks has resulted in a con-
siderable loss to raisers of sheep. A
number of farmers have lost lambs.
This is the lambing season, and
many of them were frozen soon
after being born, The cold weather
and snow has also resulted disas-
triously to quail. The ground has
been covered with s.cw fer about
ten days, and, being unable TO get
food, many Of them starved to death
and numbers froze. In some sec
tons the farmers scattered grain
upon the snow, which was soon
found by the birds and eaten. This
is a good idea and if every farmer
who has quail upon his premises
would do this, it would insure a crop
of birds next season, otherwise they
will be very scarce, as this is the
hardest spell on quail experienced in
many years.

COUNCIL SESSION.
City Fathers Hold Monthly
Meeting Friday Night.

Mayor Henry and all of the Coun-
cilmen were present Friday night
except Mr.. Galbreath, who is sick.
Attorney John Feland appeared
on behalf of the meat shops and
asked the Council to appoint COM
mittee to confer with the butchers
in regard to fixing a license on their
business. The object Is to prevent
meat dealers from selling from
wagons.
This question comes up every year
and is promptly voted down. A
great many people prefer to buy
fresh meat at their doors because
they can getit two or three cents
cheaper and often get several more
ounces to the pound. If any change
is to be made it should be to estab-
lish market house for the meat
dealers, with rigid inspection all
along the line.
The Y. Nj. C. A. was granted per-
mission to project Is inches over the
pavement, for stone steps, in front
of the new building to be erected.
