Wolves in Vermont.
[springheld Unlon.l

Again come stories from Vermont tell
ing of the ravages of wolves. Two East
Wallingford farmers blame these animals
for the loss of about so sheep within
few weeks. An attempt is being made to
eXterminate a ferocious pack in that sec
ton, which hides in the heavy timber by
day and goes forth to forage from the
farms al night. In the early days of New
England wolves were more dreaded than
anything else except Indians and many a
settler was torn to shreds by them. This
is significant because from 1850 until
about five years ago not single wolf was
reported in New England. Their re-
appearance has been much discussed down
in Maine. where it is believed that a mi
grafton of wolves has started in this di-
rection, just as there was a migration
from here TO the Canadian Northwest
years ago. This is explained by the fact
that deer and small game which the
wolves feed upon principally have be-
come scarce in British Columbia and
other places in the Northwest. while under
the protection of the game laws they are
becoming more plentiful in New England
than for many years The same cause is
undoubtedly accountable for the reappear-
ance of the lynx or wildcat in considerable
numbers

The Monument to william Lloyd Garrison

Emerson Estabrook of Bennington Is
in Boston for conference with F. w.
Garrison in regard to some matters con-
nected with the erection of a marker to
commemorate the spot on which stood
the printing house OF William Lloyd Car
rison, the famous abolitonist at Ben
niugtun Centre in 1928. The design and
inscription OF the marker will conform
largely to the wishes OF the Garrison
family. The present design and insciip-
ton have been approved, with the ex-
ccption of a few details by Mrs Henry
Willard of New York. a daughter OF Will
liam Lloyd Garrison, and by her son.
Oswald Garrison Willard, editor Of the
New York Evening Post. The committee
having the matter in charge was in hopes
that the marker would be erected this
year but as II is so late in the season the
work may be deferred until early spring
The marker will probably consist OF a
massive granite die with n bronze plate
bearing a Franklin printing press in re-
lief and suitable inscription.

Since the accident which occurred at
Second and Spring streets Christmas
eve, in which seventy-five persons
were hurt, citizens of Los Angeles have
been taking a deep interest in any
mechanical device which has been
mentioned which might be adopted to
make such .cataStrophes mechanically
impossible.
Great interest has been taken in the
invention of William r. Gardner, the
Boyle Heights man who claims to have
solved the problem of a brake which
