possible site for the proposed new Ii
brary building is suggested in the way Of
the three-cornered piece of land lying be-
tween three roads and opposite the dwell
ing OF Mrs. Mary Hill on South Main

Our worthy townsman, Edison Emery,
has been lRboring under considerable
difficulty in regard to his North Pole lots
since Peary has made such strong claims
in regard to DR.. Cooks pretensions. 1t
seems that as soon as DR.. Cook made
known his alleged discovery, Mr.. Emery
plotted the surrounding lands and put
them on the market and had quite q brisk
sale, especially in those lots adjoining the
Pole and in corner lots. Then came
Peary with his damper on the Cook claim
and the sales fell of at once and many
doubted the validity Of their deeds from
Mr.. Emery He feels rather assured,
though, that he has not laid himself open
to any criminal prosecution, as be has
given only quitclaim deeds to the lots.
The following clipping taken from a
/ Massach usetts paper, and probably writ
ten with a view to comfort those who
objected to the recently adopted hunters
license law in that state, may present that
law in a more pleasing light to those in
Vermont who regard it as an imposition
upon their liberty 1.-THE tsh and game
commission OF Connecticut, like that OF
New York, makes the encouraging report
that birds Of all kinds are on the increase
and in few years, under present eondi-
tions, quail, which at one time seemed ia
be approaching extinction, will be as
abundant as ever. As in New York, this
improvement in the situation il largely
credited TO the beneficial operation Of tbs
hunters license law, " hich has been in
force for some time now, and the law re-
stricting bunting by aliens. Many who
at first opposed these statutes noW recog
nize their efficiency. The hunters H.
cense law is now in force in forty-thres
states and territories"
