The whirlwind campaign Of 20 days il
burlington TO secure the sum of s55, 90,
Tor the \, Nj. G. A. building fund closes
June 10 with the necessary number o
pledges made, and plans will at once b,
set In motion TO pay on the mortgage o
sss,ooo which has been ON the building
Tor many years, and TO model the build
ing for more effective work. The largest
contribution to the fund was made BY
Senator William J. VaaPatten OF Burline
ton, who gave an aggregate of s2l 900
vi this $4,000 was the proceeds Of I
paid-up life insurance policy and $40, zoo
was secured from the sale to the city BY
him few days ago OF Ethan Allen park,
which entire sum viii be turned over tc

Clyde Wallace, the ll-year-old adopted
son OF w. Z. Nye OF East Barre, was
killed by bull June 20, his stomach be-
ing ruptured by blow from the animal.
The affair occurred at 8 a. m, and the
boy did not seem TO be badly hurt until
noon OF that day, when he grew rapidly
worse and died the next afternoon. The
boy was going to the pasture to drive
the bull into the barn and was accom-
panied by young st. Bernard dog.
When the animal attacked the boy, the
dog joined in to combat the beast and
seized the bull by one ear and hung on,
distracting the attention OF the Infatuated
animal and giving the lad time to get
away. When the boy got out OF reach OF
the bull, the dog let go his hold. Clyde
was able to walk to the house and seemed
to be getting better until the change
came.
The Rutland board OF education turned
down the proposition OF the Rev. w. n.
Lonergan, pastor OF the new Church Of
the Holy Innocents parish in Rutland,
that the city appropriate 5000 year to
cover the cost OF conducting st. Mary's
parochial school while the new church ed
ifice is being erected. II was believed
that the city had no right to make such
an appropriation to any one class of
people. The division of st. Peters
Roman Catholic parish some months
ago cut off st. Mary's from the other
parochial schools and Father Loner-
gan feels that the parish cannot bear
the burden OF the school while it is
paying for the new church. In his
proposition to the city he agreed that re-
ligion would not be taught during school
hours. Should the school be discon-
tinued, as is probable, room will have to
be made in the public schools for the
$50 pupils.
H. L. Jones OF Woodstock is the possess
sor OF a curious freak OF nature. The
was born calf, but is ap-
pareltly half bull terrier dog and of
mixed sex. The animal has the coat, col
or and hoofs of a calf. Its ears are
cropped like those of sporting dog. 1t
has ..screw" tail, a smooth tongue, its
limbs are short and muscled, and shaped
much like those OF dog; but the start
ting feature is the short, wrinkled nose,
The understood jaw and full lower teeth,
the habit Of dog-like shifting for scent,
and the cropped ears which give it very
uncanny aspect. The mother is two
year-old heifer, which belonged to H. H.
Daniels, and which was sold, with its
curious offspring, to Mr.. Jones. The calf
seems healthy and likely to grow up.
Mr.. Jones has already been offered a large
sum for the freak, provided it lives and
thrives for few weeks, enough to give
promise Of maturity. On account of its
doglike jaws and teeth, the calf is fed
from bottle, to save the mother injury.
