Fence Suitable Tor Sheep
A portable fence Of net wire about
30 inches high Is perhaps the most
economical as well as desirable fence TO
use for sheep. Enough of this fence to-
iinclose twenty or thirty acres can b
made without great cost, and carl b
changed from one field to another
easily. 1t should be fastened to stakes
and made Into as large rolls as can be
handled to advantage. Thus armed
with rape, fence and flock Of sheep,
one is In position to clear and enrich
his land, and at the same time greatly
add to the richness Of his pocketbook.
When once in shape for sheep, no stock
can be carried on the farm with 30 lit
tie labor and chores. A well-conducted
mutton-growing farm also leaves III
owner and his family much time In
which to live.-Farm Monthly.

Why tread upon a person when he is

merely expressed doubts about the eligi-
bility OF fourth-class postmasters Is an
error. He is firm and outspoken in the
belief. Also your reference to my re-
fiecting upon the committee-unless you
consider unwillingness to accept their
report without protest as such. The
whole influence OF Brattleboro was cast
in my favor, for which, thanks My. pro-
posal to refer the matter to the attorney
general was rejected.

NEW HAMPSHIRE NOTES.
Condition Of Miss Paine, Who Was Shot
In WestmoreIand.

In WestmoreIand.
The condition of Miss Lillian Paine, who
was shot at Westmoreland Oct 20, re-
mains about the same. She is able to
talk with her family to some extent and
has stated, among other things, that she
left the rifle inside the sugar house and
came out, when she saw two men, and
that was the last she remembered until
she gained consciousness in her home.
Mrs. Paine, the mother of the girl, said
Saturday that an empty shell was found
in the rife and another of the same cal
ibre was found just outside the sugar
house. This second shell is not account
ed for, as the girl claims that she did not
fire the rife. Mrs. Paine also stated that
when the searching party was looking for
her daughter some members Of the party
went past the house and looked inside and
did not see her and about half an hour
later others passing the house found her
lying on the ground just outside the door.
Mrs. Paine says it is a mystery to her
how her daughter was shot. Mr.. Paine
believes the girl was shot by someone
other than herself. He stated last week
that the searchers, while looking for her,
heard their shouts answered by a mans
voice, and that tie voice receded as they
drew nearer.-[Keene Sentinel
