Close Of Judges Conference.
The closing meeting of the Superior
/ Judges conference over court rules was
held at Montpelier, Thursday. Judge w.
ii. Taylor OF Hardwick was also among
the members present. The members had
a conference with State Printing Com
missioner F. E. Langley on the matter of
having a supplement sent to the men,
bers of the Bar before the opening of the
September term of county court that
they might acquaint themselves with the
new rules before their publication in
book form which will take some time
longer. The Judge and such of the at
torneys as have understood the new
rules have executed them in form for 10
months in court proceedings while the
notifications were being made. The
practice in chancerv cases has been car
ried on, IN this manner. The supreme
court judges are still at work on their
rules and will not have them ready to
place in the book with the county court
rules for few weeks.

County Game Warden H. D. Camp is re-
ceiving string of communications from
various towns inv ashingto county COM
planning of the depredations done by deer
to crops and gardens. A complaint con-
slderably out of the ordinary was receiv-
ed recently from one of the selectmen OF
the town of Waterbury. This complaint
alleged that buck deer had killed two
young cattle, bull and heifer, both
yearlings, the property of resident Of
that town. No particulars of the killing
were given and Mr.. Camp has not been
informed any further in regard to it, The
letter asked that NJ come to adjust the
damages, but he saws that the law does
not cover the loss of livestock and that
the state only reimburses its residents for
loss to crops, gardens, orchards and
other property of like nature From the
communications received and the reports
from other sources, the coming autumn
promises to be the best for deer hunting
seen IN Vermont in many years.
Markers at Brattleboro.
Workmen engaged in preparing the
Valley Fair grounds at Brattleboro for
the Oath annual exhibition, Sept. $3.50,
recently had an interesting experience
with an aged man who was found wan
dering among the buildings as il hunting
tor something. When questioned by the
workmen the stranger, who refused to
give his name, said he had last visited
the spot 46 years ago when he was taken
there as a wounded soldier and kept in
the government hospital many weeks.
The man pointed out the sites of the
; various buildings as they were located
) when the United States government
maintained hospital on what are now
the fair grounds during the Civil War.
) The fair management is thinking serious
: ly of putting markers on the sites of the
; hospital buildings so that visitors may
: see where they stood.
