At the brow of Dead Horse Hill the
doctor took the lead. We were slowly de-
scending the steep decline when the pro-
fessor. yielding to some primeval instinct
and uttering a terrific war-whoop, sud-

TITCOMB REvIsEs LAWS.
Most Advanced Ideas Regarding Fish
and Game Are Embodied.

Montpelier, Sept 26.-J. w Titcomb,
commissioner of game and fisheries has
had complete revision of the fish and
game laws of the State made in accord
ance with the most advanced ideas in
regard to such Legislation, and the revision
has only been made after full cor
respondence with States that have recent
~ revised their fish and game laws or
enacted new laws
This revision will take the form of a
bill. to be substituted for the present
chapter on that subject, and will be
ready for presentation to the committee
when the Legislature meets
The present chapter relating to fish and
game Is a piece of patchwork, Of con-
Trajectory or confusing enactments. so
that there are few men in the State
who really understand what the provi-
sions of the Vermont statutes are. 1t Is
hoped that this complete revision may
have such careful consideration, and may
be SO modified to meet the needs or
desires of various sections, that it will be
free from amendment for some years
to come.

SPECIAL CONVENTION SOON
COadjutOr bishop Of Vermont Will He
Elected In November.

Bennington, Sept 26-The convention OF
the Protestant Episcopal diocese of Ver-
mont which opened at st. Peters Church
yesterday morning adjourned late this
forenoon The business transacted was
largely routine and dealing with the nm
ances of the diocese.
1t Is probable that the special conven-
ton OF the diocese for the election Of a
coadJutor bishop will be called as early
as possible. according to all lndicat tons
early In November. The necessity for an
early election OF a coadjutor arises from
the accumulation of work in the diocese
