This Is matter that interests many
of the farmers of the State who have
in times past slaughtered their lambs
and calves on the farm and shipped
them to Massachusetts. Consequently
this matter will be taken UP by the
Board of Health of this State and the
department of agriculture, for the pur
pose of ascertaining what arrange
ments can be made with the Massa
chusetts people in relation to having
local inspectors i'm different towns in
the State to be appointed by the local
Board of Health, so as to enable the
farmers to ship the carcasses OF
slaughtered animals into Massaehu-
sets.
Otherwise it will be necessary for
them to ship their lambs and calves
to Massachusetts alive and have them
slaughtered in that state, as this new
law touches wholly on the inspection
of oarcasses that are offered for food
from outside the State.

siderable proportions. have been re-
ported to the forestry department

so far as known, in regard to the fire
situation in that portion of the State.
Mr.. Cakes reports that within the

receive any reports that might be
made from the wardens in the field.

was that from John r. Sullivan, chief

placer gold in old diggings which
white men had left as too unpro2

America.
But Suk Lap, 1over-like, (loyers
are all alike), was obdurate and
no inducement How Long held
out would cause him to part with
her.
So How Long thought of deep
scheme. He gave a wedding sup

whisky-lots of whisky, Suk Lap
was deceived. He drank deep of
the whisky, which itself is not m
toxicating. Besides, How Long
had drugged the liquor.
