This closcd the evidence nnd tho rcst of the day was taken up with nr guments for thc nrosecution by State's Attorney Bert L. .StafTord of Rutland county and for tho defenco by Jasper G. Pngc of Bristol. Saturday forenoon James B. Dono way of Middlebury made the closing plea for thedefenceand it was probably the best argument to a jury that Mr. Donowny has so far evnr made, and neither he nor Mr. Page minced their words in referring to the Wrights and Thompsons. State's Attorney Tuttlo closed the argument for the prosecution in a half hour's address, but did not seem to have much heart or confidcnce in his work. Judge Miles gave the case to the jury just before noon on Saturday in a charge of 20 minutes, which was a clear and strong explication of the law points in volved. A complication arose Saturday after noon at about 4 o'clock, when it was an nounced that Juror Carlos S. Martin was taken suddenly ill. The whole panel was immediately shifted to their lodg ings at The Addison and Dr. E. H. Mar tin of Middlebury was called to look after the sick juror. The trouble with Juror Martin was diagnosed as acutc in digestion and Dr. Martin had two other members of the panel sick on his hands on Sunday. These were F. L. Kent of Salisbury and Lewis C. Pcck of New Haven. Foreman Warner on Monday morning announced that the jury in tho case of the State va Purinton had a greed upon a verdict and that the verdict was "not guilty." The respondent was immedi ately discharged by order of the court. Deputy Sheriff Fred E. Rowley of New Haven and Noble J. Sanford of Middlebury had charge of this jury in terchangeably during their deliberations on the case and Miss Mildred Brooks of Montpelier, private stenographer to Attorney General Rufus E. Brown of Burlington, made a shorthand report of the testimony for the use of the prose cution. Immediately after the receipt of the verdict in this case, Jurymen Martin, Peck and Kent were at their own re- quest excused from further service dur ing the term. After tho jury was discharged nothing further was done in court until 2:30 o'clock Monday afternoon, at which time Benjamin Caswell of Hancock was arraigned to plead to an informnton charging him with having had in his possession at Hancock iu December last pai ts of the carcasses of thrue deer killed in the closed benson. The res pondent nnively acknowledged to having so had in his possession parts of the cur casses of two deer but liisclaimed all knowledge of any third one. Caswell was fined K0 with eosU of $3.0J, which he piid. He was repres-Mited in court by Mr. Iionoway. Next came the case of George Bai- nard, who was charged on information by-State's Attornev Tuttle with having stolen $114 lrom an uged mnn nained James Murphy, at New Haven on the night ot December 12, last. He and Murphy had been in Vergennes the day of the happening and there was more oi less strong drink mixed up with the case. The respondent pleaded guilty and was sentenced to serve not more than four years and not less than tluee years at hard labor in the state prison at Windsor. Leroy C. Russell of Mid dlebury was barnard s counsel. The case ot tne btate vs Altred l,eno of East Msddlebury, charged with adul tery with one Bertha Guyette, both being set up as married parties, was got started Monday afternoon, with Mr. Tuttle conuucting the prosecution and Mr. Donoway uppearing for the defence. On Tuesday morning the case for the deience went to pieces, as the respondent withdrew his former nlea of not guilty nnd pleaded guilty to the charge. The sentence was immediate ly passed and was for not more than three vearb and not less than two nnd one-half years at hard labor in the btate prison. ine case oi tne para mour is held in hbeyancc. No other cases were taken up Tues day and as all the remuining jury cases had been settled or continued the jurors were excused for the term, with the exception of R. H. Hallock of Middle bury, who was held as a talesman or starter lor a new jury should one be wanted later on. On Wednesday it be came certain that there would be no more jury trials at this term and Mr. Hallock was excused at the afternoon session, at which little else was done. An unusual thing occurred on Wed nesday afternoon when the court cut down the amount of damages awarded to Pola Hunt vs William J. Lee from $500 to $400. Judge Day presiied over Thursday morning's proceedings, which came to a close at 9:10 o'clock, when Sheriff Olin A. Smith, under direction of the court, declared the December term of the Addison county court adjourned without day. The court was in session in all over 30 days, the term having opened on De cember 3 and continuing in session, with the usual recess over Sunday, except from December 18 to December 30, when there was a recess of 12 days in order thut importaut cases could be got ready for trial.

The meeting was called to order at 10 n. m. by the president, E. N. Bissell, who has spent a lifo time in the improvement of the Merino sheep. Hc set forth the ndvantagcs of caring for the Merinos under adverse times ns well as in the properous periods. In order to reach tho desired goal the following rules should be strictly ad hered to: 1. Purity of blood. 2. Careful selection of stock rams, in order to maintain and improve the high standard of thc flock. 3. Care for your flock well and get it before the public. To do this show at as many county and state fairs as possible where op portunity is offered to confer with other breeders. Reading of secretary's report. Motion before the house (and carried unanimously) that we recommend the Executive Board to place the fee for recording lambs at 15 cents, nnd the fee for transferring sheep nt 25 cents.

The following paper from L. A. Webster, a former resident of Whiting, Vt., was read before the association and will be read with much interest by his many friends in this locality: Mr. Pretident and Fellow Sheep Breeders: It gives me pleasure to meet the shepherds of Ohio, and I consider it an honor to be jilaced on the program of this association's annual meeting. Ever since the consolidation we hnve been preaenting pa))ers on Type, The Shepheid and His Flock, and various other subjL-cts pertaining to Merino .sheep; but today my talk will be on "General Principles" pertaining es pecially to problems that are just now pressing us. A would-be sheep breeder asked me recently what is the future for Merino sheep? Ireplied: "It is just what you make it.'' The popular demands and markets for Merino sheep are just as much the production of the sheep breeder as is the type and character of the sheep we breed, and furthermore, if you have not helped develop and popularize the breeed you have not earned a right to the market. Someone asked me recently if Hampshire sheep had not already passed the height of their popularity, and I replied it they had there was no one responsible but the breeders them selves, as Hamshire sheep had just as much practicnl value today as they had yesterday. Now the snme problem con fronts the Merino breeders. If the breed is not in demand and popular today, no one is responsible but the breeders themselves. There are a hundred breeders today in this State, and more in other States, who are eomplaining that the "business is dead," "there is no demand," and if they keep on eom plaining and telling that business is dead it will be deader than a door nail next year. I don't know just exactly how dead a door nail is, but the busi ness will be dead enough it we neglect our llocks and tell the other fellow we are going out of the business. If I wanted to encourage the industry and bring new nnd younger men into tho business. 1 would show them a llock in good condition, a flock representing the maximum ot progress in the develon- ment of wool nnd mutton in the Merino breed that were producing from 15 to 20 pounds on the avcrage and that I had sold two-thirds of their produce, reserving the best ewes nnd the best rams to reintorce the llock nnd that I cleared 50 per cent on the investment the lirst year. JMow 1 believe this and more is reasonably possible and the reason we are not doing it is our ideals, are not high enough. We have not studied our business. We have not bred well enough and we have not dem onstrated or promoted their interests betoro the sheep breeding nublic. Gentlemen, the Merino sheep business is dull today. The principlo reasons nrc the neglect of the Merino breeders and tho iailure on their nart to solve or analyze the problems that confront or dofeat them. I repeat, the breeder who does not help the business is detrment al to the industry and the causo of those who try. Higher ideals and u deter mined purpose to succeed, saving tho best ewes for the breeding llock, and never sell tho best stock ram, are tho essential features of success in breeding Merino as in breeding other stock. Again, don't knock the other fellow. Ifyou are the helpful shepherd and neighbor that God meant you to bc you will help and encourage your fellow breeder and the interests of the mem bers of the association, for your inter ests are. all mutual, and your purpose How's This?

The board of directors of the Addison County Agricultural society met in the grand jury room in the county court house Saturday, January 18, with a good attendance. Several important changes were made for the coming fair. It was voted to rebuild the horse barn which was recently destroyed by fire and also to add another cattle shed to the already long string. It was also decided to hnve but one band in attend- ince at the fair and to charge admission for all four days, which will include Tuesday, the first day of the fair. En- tertainment will be given each of the four days which, it is expected, will more than even up the change. The principal reason for this change is that the directors woulu have more leeway in case of bad weathpr during the fair." President John h,. Weeks, Vice Presi dent E. N. Bissell and Secretary F. C. Uyer were appomteu a committee to meet with a committee from Middle bury college to cooperate in the prepa rations for a farmers' institute to be held here Februay 28 and March 1.
