BENNINGToN.--Capt II. l.. Shields OF
Troy, but Bennington's summer townsman,
mas turned author, and is now engaged in
writing a book of his "reminiscences of the
Mexican war. We are not afraid to ven

Machine Works last week Thursday. re-
ceivcd quite a severe injury from piece
of steel flying off the work on which he
was engaged, and striking his eye, AT
first it was feared it would destroy the
sight of the organ TIT is thought such
will not now occur, and, We may be
allowed to.add, we hope not.
The Banner says: at the meeting of
the Bennington County Agricultural
Society, last week Wednesday, the Presi-
dent, I. w Park, announced that at all
coming Fairs Of the Society, stock and all
other articles intended for exhibition,
would Ice transported over the Bennington
Il Rutland Railroad, and on TO the Fair
grounds, free of charge, and carried back
ON the same terms. This is a step for
ward i'll the fortunes of the Society, as
the great obstacle heretofore met by large
numbers of persons-farmers and others
along the line of the road, has been the
expense of getting their articles to the
Fair The change cannot fail of proving
vastly beneficial to our County Agricul-
tural Society, since it does away with the
greatest difficulty it has heretofore been
compelled to labor under.
