People who do not keep hens, aud
there are few such, are beginning TO re-
/ gard with disfavor the approach OF the
neig hbors' fowls, all evidently bent on
finding cut here the first early peas are
planted il they have to scratch up whole
gardens to satisfy their curiosity. There
is some balm for the injured in a village
bylaw which declares that hens shall not
be allowed to run at large any season Of
the year, and prescribes a s2 fine for each

"That was an appropriate suggestion of
The Montpelier Journal, " says the ST. AL
bans Messenger, "that the Vermont Bar
association might well honor the APP
preaching seventy-fith birthday ami
versary of Chief Judge John w. Rowell
with banquet at which former Judges
Il. Henry Powers and James NJ. Tyler,
also rs years old within the twelve
month, should be guests Of honor. The
lay public would be gratiiied, indeed, to
see such a professional testimonial TO
such longtime respected public servants
and eminent Vermonters."
