seeding pine trees on their lot near the
West Dummerston quarry. The firm
owns about $50 acres Of land there and

to growing pine. Two years ago they
started the planting with 5000 seedlings
Last year they put in 10000. About 1000
seedlings are being set on each acre

Germany as the demand for seeding
pines is so great in this country that the
home nurseries are unable to keep a
supply on hand.
tuberculosis Sunday will not be OBJ
served by any general gathering Sunday
as the fight against the disease is so
well organized here that the pastors did
not feel the necessity of calling II more
directly to the attention of the people
Rev Dr. John r. Cow, pastor of the
Baptist church, will give his morning
sermon to the subject, and most of the
other pastors will make more or less
reference to it. Dr. H. d. Holton Will
speak at mass meeting in Fair Haven
sunday evening and DR.. W. H. Lane
VIII address a meeting in Nottingham.

The body of deer was found early
TINS week in StiCkney brook, about 20
rods above the small dam, from which
the pipe line runs to the reservoir i'm
Peasant valley. The authorities were
notified and word was sent to the SUPER
intendent Of the Brattleboro Water
Works company. The body was removed
at once. The physicians are positive
that no contagious disease could come
from pollution of the water through con-
tact with the body. Dr. HoIton, score
tarV of the state board of health. has
called the attention of the Water Works
company to the need of adequate in
Spection of the water system and the
watershed as often as once in 10 DAYS or
two weeks.
The new telephone directory, copies Of
which have been distributed among the
subscribers this week, is set in a differ
ent style of type than that i'm which
former directories were set and the cover
IN BUN in color, which is perhaps more
attractive than the old green cover bur
there are two defects in the book "a
a directory. It does not include a single
Massachusetts exchange, which is re-
garded by many business men as an
inconvenience. The board of trade will
ask TO have the names of subscribers I'm
some Of the Massachusetts towns re-
stored in future issues. Another defect
is that the telephone numbers follow the
names Instead of being printed ahead
of them, making it necessary to follow
dotted lines in many instances which
also is an inconvenience, although not
such noticeable one as the omission
OF the names Of the subscribers in Green
field, Springfield, etc.
DR.. L. r. Lynch is high man in tho
number of prescriptions for liquor writ
ten IN March. The records in the county
clerks office show that he wrote 1872 in
March, about the same a he has writ
ten in recent months. 1t would apnear
from the records that some of the other
physicians are not writing as many pre-
Scorpions as they did before the Brattle
boro newspapers adopted the practice of
publishing the list each month. The

5iclans OF the town is as follows: DR. =
