The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1908-10-30
!: CURRENT COMMENT.
The Hunting License.

IT ia difficult to understand the OPP
position of the state papers which have
large rural elientage to the proposal
to enact hunters license law in Yer
mont. | has been a persistent cry OF
the farmers for years that the fish and
game protective laws were enacted for
the benefit of the city sportsmen and
resident hunters and fishermen who
tramped over the fields and were nuis-
ance generally and that the man whose
rights were abused had to help pay for
the operation OF the state fish hatchery
and salaries of the game wardens.
The hunters license law is meas
ure that is proposed for the purpose of
putting a portion. at least. of the eX-
pense of the fish and game department
directly upon the men who hunt and
fish, but instead of meeting with the
approval of the rural press of the state
it is being condemned as an attempt to
take away some of the vested rights of
the constitution.
This constitution, one of the grandest
documents ever written, was enacted in
the days Of coonslon caps and deerskin
leQgins, when fish and game were as
plentiful and as lightly regarded as the
trees of the forest that we are now
trying so hard to preserve. but because
unrestricted hunting and fishing was
che Of the privileges accorded at this
time, a good many epople in the state

notes he makes refutation of certain pre-
viously held grounds regarding the con
duct Of that battle
The whole makes, as we first stated,
work Of very great interest, absorbing,
we may say, to those who were con-
nected with the stirring events of those
days and, indeed, to any who have had
more or less intimate connection with
the Civil War, while to the youth it
affords a striking lesson. Locally, the
volume is attractive because of the
numerous touches of color added through
the writer's residence here and former
association with the people then well
known here, but the most Of whom have
since passed beyond. Major Abbott has
made the public indebted to him by thus
presenting the pictures of the time as
they appeared to young soldier.

HEDGEHoGs VS.. pARTRTDGEs.

Hedgehog legislation, much scoffed at,

ridge eggs. For time Maine gave a
bounty on hedgehogs. Thereafter there
was an otherwise unexplained increase
in the number Of cartridges in the state
Of Maine. Cause and effect, don't you
see, Less hedgehogs, more cartridges.
But even the touted increase in part
ridges was not enough to keep the hedge
hog bounty law on the statute books of
Maine, and once again the crawling crea.
ture will turn to his work of deyouring
partridge eggs. to the disgust of an oc-
easional hunter or two.
There is another side to this hedgehog
bounty business; ii is the raid on the
state treasury. We are not acquainted
with the underlying cause which induced
the Maine legislature to remove the
bounty on hedgehogs, but we suspect
that it was to preserve the state treas
airy from complete disappearance. Least
wise, that was Vermont's reason for
abolishing the bounty on the beast. Yer.
mont paid out thousands of dollars in
few years on bounties, and the demands
became SO increasingly frequent that the
state treasury was drained like water
reservoir built in the quicksand. 1t
didn't take the Vermont legislature long,
when the leak was discovered, to stop
it up. Thus far, too, the Vermont legis-
lature has refused to open up the leak
again, patridges or no cartridges. Maine
is likewise crafty,

MAJOR ABBoTT,s CIVIL WAR DIARY

MAJOR ABBOTT'S CIVIL WAR DIARY
An interesting contribution to Civil
war history and work of great attrac.
tion because of the personal touch given
through the association of the writer
with the events Of which be writes, is
volume just published by Major Lem
uel A. Abbott, United States army, re.
tired, gentleman who spends his sum
mers in Barre and vicinity. Major Alb.
bott has been engaged for some time
in the compilation Of diary which he,
very fortunately kept while serving dur.
ing the latter part of the Civil War The
results of his compilation he has pre-.
sented to the public in the shape of a
neatly bound, well-printed volume, en-
titled, diary of the Civil War" and
giving attention specifically to the move
ments of the Tenth Vermont troops.
The book covers that portion of the
Civil War which has for its most absorb
ing Incidents Grants investment of the
city Of Richmond, Va, and Sheridan's
battle of Winchester.
The volume opens with the brief daily
record of the doings of the Union troops
during the winter of 1864, the diary
giving one a personal insight into the
soldiers life of the period Major Alb
bott was then a lieutenant in the de.
Tense Of his country. The account works
up gradually to the re-opening of spring
and the reawakened military activity,
portraying the fever of subdued expec-
tation as the soldiers wait for the un-
folding Of the generals plans, as revealed
only by their orders to go here, there, or
anywhere. 1t tells Of heart breaking
marches, seemingly to no avail, but I'M
doubtedly as a part of one great plan
Of military strategy. 1t tells then of the
actual conflict between the Blue and the
Gray, the terrible losses Of life. the car
ing for the wounded and finally the
wounding Of the writer of the little
daily chronicle himself and his return
home on a furlough to recuperate. The
