The Law of Self-Defense.

An eminent English jurist once made
the remark, often quoted, that, che who
knoweth not the reason of the law
knoweth not the law Now law
would not be founded in reason that
justified a man, when assaulted, in TAX
ing the life of his assailant unless it
were necessary or he thought it neces-
sary to take it.
1t would be a dangerous rule to pro-
mulgate that when one is assaulted and
put in peril of his life or of great bodi-
ly injury he may kill his assailant The
general, though not the universal, rule
in this country is that there must be a
real or an apparent necessity for TAX
ing life. The person assaulted must
act as a reasonable man would act in
like circumstances. Some courts have
said that he must have an honest be-
lief that the act is necessary.
But the law makes liberal allowance
for the condition of mind the assaulted
man is in. The assault may have been
so sudden and he put in such sudden
fear that at the moment it seemed
necessary to kill his assailant, though
in the GOODNESS of afterthought it APP
peared that he might have spared his
life. To illustrate: A man might escape
an assailant S first shot, when to retreat
would be to invite a second shot, to
avoid which he stands his ground, uses
his own weapon effectively, and his act
is justifable. But if assaulted with a
less dangerous instrument, like club,
and his life threatened, he would not
be justified in taking life if he might
reasonably have retreated; then, if the
attack were sudden, giving him no
time to think of way of escape and
realizing only his danger, he would be
excusable for using enough force to re-
pei the attack, even to the taking of
life.
The case of the state VS.. Menzio de
Maria, recently decided by the supreme
court of New Jersey, which has received
considerable newspaper comment, is in
accordance with the rule laid down by
our supreme court in state VS.. Roberts,
SO Vermont reports, that no man is
justified or excusable in taking the life
of another unless it is, or seems neces-
sary as the means of saving his own
life or escaping great bodily injury.

lots and there were others who were
heavily assessed without being bene-
fitted. The amendment was adopted and
the resolution adopted as amended.
Article s, to see if the village would
appropriate money for spraying trees,
was passed over without comment.
On motion of E. G. Crosby it was
voted to raise a Accent tax, the same
as last var, to meet the current ex-
penses of the village, payable on or
before July !.
l.. E. Holden introduced o resolution
to cover article 10 regarding the village
paying the Valley Fair association for
such public use as is made of the fair
grounds. The resolution provided that
the commissioners be empowered to
make such arrangements as were deemed
advisable with the association with
the limit fixed at 800.
Speaking on his resolution, Mr.. Hol-
den said that the association never had
charged for the general use of the
grounds and all that was dsired was
enough to cover the breakage and dam
age done there. The resolution was
adopted.
An attempt was made to pass over
article II, to see if the village commits

they. deemed it necessary, to offer re-
ward of $50 for information that would
lead to the apprehension and conviction

CHERRIE ON EXPEDITION.
Leaves New York for Trip to Wilds
of South America To Be Away
Four to Eight Months.

Prof. George X. Cherrie of Newfane
naturalist with the Roosevelt Brazilian
expedition, and DR.. Frank NJ. Chapman
who, with Prof Cherrie, is connected
with the American Museum of Natural
History of New York, sailed from
New York Thursday on the Christobal
of the Panama line. He left Brattleboro
Sunday evening for that city.
The expedition is for the purpose
as Prof Cherrie expresses it, of making
a reconnaissance of different parts of
the Andes mountain ranges with a
view to determining from the bird life
in the Andes which parts of the coun-
try are the oldest. 1t is hoped to de-
termine this point partly from the fau-
ma. The work of this expedition will be
more to determine to which points it
might be the most profitable for the
museum to send expeditions later.
Prof. Cherrie and Prof. Chapman,
who will be the advance guard of an
expedition, will stop first at Panama
and then go to Guayaquil and by train
to Quito, the capital of Ecuador.
They expect to ascend ChimbOrazo,
one of the highest peaks of the Andes,
in their study of bird life with the plan
to determine the character of the fauna
at different attitudes. They have no
intention Of attempting to scale the
peak to its summit, but will go as far
as they can if they find anything that
VIII aid them in their search for scien-
tific data
Upon their return to Guayaquil they
will go to Callao in Peru and from there
to Lima, the capital. From there they
expect to make many expeditions into
the mountains in the interior, using the
capital city as headquarters for their
work in this section.
Ihey will be there two or three
weeks and then take steamer to Molten
do, another port in Peru, and go from
there by rail to Lake Titicaca in Boliv-
ia, and to La Paz, the capital city of
that country. On the way to the lake
a short stop probably will be made at
Arequipa, about half way up the
where travellers are accus-
toned to spend a little time on their
way to the lake to become accustomed
to the high altitude.
Lake Titicaca is the highest naviga-
BILE body of water in the world. 1t is
l2,5OO feet above sea level and is 1925
miles long, and two steamers ply its
waters. One of these boats was taken
up on mule back before the railroad
was put through. In order to get to the
the lake the railroad goes over pass
that is $4,000 feet above sea level.
Prof. Cherrie, who has been to the
lake before, says that it is surrounded
by such high mountain peaks that the

REGIMENT TO BE Modified.
Will Be Asked to Motor to Northfeld
(vt) to See Field Maneuvers By
Norwich Cadets.

a mobilization of the First Vermont
regiment at Mortified May 20 has been
authorized by Adjt Gen Lee 5. Tllotson.
Col. a. l.. Reeves intends to mobilize the
regiment to see a field day by the Norwich
cadet corps, which comprises the first
squadron of cavalry of the Vermont
troops, but general orders have not been
received by Capt E. W Gibson of Com
pany |.
The plan of mobilization is to interest
the boards of trade, the merchants and
the business men generally in the various
towns in the movement and ask them to
offer the loan of sufficient number Of all-
tomobies to convey all the men of the or
ganization to and from Mortified The
time of departure will be left in the hands
of the local company commanders The
infantry will wear field service uniforms
carry their blanket rolls, arms and equip.
ment; in fact, will come all equipped ready
for the field.
The idea of the plan is to ascertain the
feasibility of mobilizing the regiment by
the use of automobiles in event of an ener-
gency. The occasion will be considered as
a holiday on the part Of the infantrymen
and they will be asked TO take no part in
the exercises except to pitch their shelter
tents and establish temporary camp, and
to witness the various maneuvers engaged
in by the cavarymen.
1t is planned that all of the organiza-
tions shall arrive at Northtield as nearly as
possible at | o'clock in the afternoon The
field day exercises will last until $50.
This is the first time in the history of
the National Guard of Vermont that a

The Doom Of the Chestnut.


That the chestnut is to be eXtermi-
mated i'll our forests seems to be de.
creed. The state forester has been
compelled to pronounce its doom. The
blight that has fallen upon the tree
seems to be hopeless and not the first
thing can be done to save it. That the
state is convinced that there is no help
is shown in the cutting of the trees
from the reservations. The chestnuts
have just been removed from Sugar
loaf for example. Prudent owners Of
forest lands will follow the public ex-
ample and proceed to cut out the
chestnuts before the blight has turned
the wood to decay.
Hardly another tree among the ia
miliar ones of the New England for
ests would be more missed 1t has not
had the highest rating with the lum-
bermen, although for certain uses its
wood had preference. Its loss would
be less financial sacrifice than that
of the pine. The elm and the maple
have a worth for shade which the
chestnut has not rivaled. But its adj
dition to the beauty of the woodland
in its season of bloom will be missed
and its fruitage has been too much
source of pleasant and profitable occu-
patton in the first frosty days of the
autumn to be spared without keen
sense of deprivation.
After the axe has been laid at the
root of the last of the chestnuts and
a rising generation will wonder what
sort of tree it was that the village
blacksmith stood beneath, then will
some wise man of the woods arrive
with remedy that might have saved
all this sacrifice?

Money in Raising Cattle.

There S money in raising cattle in
Vermont. And the better the breed
the more profit there S in it. While
all cattle, both milch and meat, are
at the highest prices ever known the
biggest profit is in thoroughbreds. At
the auction sale of Holstein- Friesians
at Bellows Falls this week a four-year-
old COW sold for $3.50 and another
cow raised in Chester topped the sale
at an even $1,000. Several others
brought what are called fancy prices.
Again is the fact emphasized that OPP
portunities for investment in live
stock raising in this state are great
and also that more people are appre2i-
ating the fact each year. 1t is one
of the encouraging signs of new ag-
ricultural Vermont.
