They set fires, as is supposed to drive the deer from the tamarack swamps and thick bushes, and away rush the fires, licking up every combustible in their course, sweeping over the hay meadows, and in a few minutes destroying the labor of months in put- ting up hay, and the poor man's entire supply for the coming winter. Where can be found greater rascality and mean-ness than such reck- less acts as these? JAMES COOPER, Esq., Messrs. STRONG & NEWBERT, of Bethel, have lost heavily by these villains. Mr. COOPER lost about thirty tons of superior hay - his entire dependence to winter a large stock of horses and cattle. It is hoped that the guilty parties may be found out, and the full penalty of the law meted out to them. ===========================================================================
