Resignation of Judge Bates.

Under date of August the Manila
Times announced the resignation of
Hon. Henry c. Bates of this town as
judge at Iloilo in the island of Panay in
the court of the first instance of the
Philippines. In making this announce
ment the Times said: During his stay
in the province, Judge Bates has won the
respect and admiration of the bar as
well as the community in general"
Judge Bates and family sailed for the
United States the last of August and
arrived in San Francisco Saturday. 1t
is understood that they will spend the
winter in California, and from letters re-
ceived here through the summer it is not
believed they will ever return here to live
because of our cold winters. Mrs. Bates
health was the immediate cause of her
husbands resignation, though he had
planned to resign next spring when he
would have completed seven years of
judicial service in the Philippines.

A Fawn Killed.

Deputy Warden Fisher of Miles Pond
reported to County Game Warden A. H.
Noyes last week that he had found a
dead fawn at Miles Pond and the animal
was brought to Carl M. Howe's market
and attracted much attention. 1t was
almost pure white and weighed when
dressed only SIS pounds. An attempt
was made to secure the animal for the
Museum collection, but the state fish and
game commissioner, Henry G. Thomas
of Stowe, decided that as the deer be-
longed to the state it must find its last
resting place in the museum at the state
capitol. Mr. Fisher is satisfied that
the deer was Intentionally killed as
reports of the slaughter of deer in Essex
county are continually reported, but no
evidence can be secured for a convic-
ton of the guilty parties.
The Albino variety in any animal is
extremely rare and this is the only one
of its kind ever seen here. Aside from
the ears and two rows of black spots
on the back the little doe was perfectly
white,

New Mail Pouch Patented.

A patent was issued yesterday to J. E.
Harris of Danville for pouch intended
more especially for Rural Free Delivery
carriers. Nothing of the kind was ever
patented or in use for any purpose, and
rural or even city carriers will find it OF
immense advantage Now, those who
do not use team containing sack are
using ordinary valises or hand grips,
keeping the mail badly mixed and ex-
posing it to all kinds of weather. Mr..
Harris patent keeps the mail or any
contents Of the package entirely separate,
so that it can be delivered in rotation
and no water or snow can get in. The
danger ofloss or mistake is also entirely
averted. We understand that Mr.. Har-
ris will endeavor to interest the govern
ment in the invention. In the meantime
he will be glad to give anyone any de-
sired information on the subject.

The Academy Team Defeated.

st. Johnsbury Academy opened the foot
ball season on the campus Saturday
under the most unfavorable weather
conditions with Lebanon High school
and suffered defeat by the score of to 0.
The game was played in the drizzling
rain, which put the grounds and ball in
fierce shape and was responsible for the
many fumbles and misplays credited to
both sides. The visitors out weighed
our team and showed strong line both
for offensive and defensive work. Griffin
and Poland were also effective and kept
the Academy boys hustling most of the
time. For the locals Hill was always in
evidence and handled the team like a
veteran. Walker played his usual fast
and aggressive game at full back; in fact,
all the material looks good, and with
little more work they are sure to take
their proper place with the leaders in
scholastic circles. Several new plays,
including the forward pass, were used by
both teams, sometimes with success, but
the slipping ball rendered them rather
unsafe experiments and both captains
directed most of the plays against the
line or around the circle.
