An Old Landmark Gone.

The "Old Catamount Tavern" that
for over a hundred years adorned the
village Of Bennington Center was on
Thursday morning, 30th alt, between
the hours Of one and three, reduced to
ashes. This house was ,he rendezvous
Of the "Green Mountain boys during
the troubles with New York before the
war Of the revolution. In it met the
Council Of Safety, composed Of such
men as Ethan Allen, Seth Warner, Re-
member Baker, Moses Robinson, Jonas
Fay and Isaac Tichenor. 1t was the
headquarters of Stark and his brother
officers during the war Of the revolution.
1t was the prison house Of the British
officers taken at the battle Of Bcnning-
ton. 1t was the infant State House Of
Vermont during the trying times follow
ING the revolutionary struggle, and the
official home # those whose names
shine conspicuous in The early history Of
our State.
The Bennington Banner says the old
tavern was built by Captain stephen
Fay, previous - jha year I770. Il is

for his tavern was th- stuffed skin Of
catamount, erected on Il pole twenty
feet high, with teeth ginning toward
New York. Captain Fay had five sons
in the battle Of Bennington, one OF
whom was killed. His exclamation
when thencWs Of the event WAS brought
to him deserves TO be handed down to
remotcst postclity. 81 thank God |
had Il son who was willing to give his
life to his country" Many chaateris-
tic anecdotes are related Of Captain
Fay Before the battle Of Bennington.
Col, Baum, the naughty commander Of
the British forces, sent word for him to
have a fac dinner prepared for him on
a certain day, That very day Baum
was brought in prisoner, when Fay
removed his hat and bowing politely,
informed the British commander that
his dinner Was ready.
The old tavern afterwards passed in.
to the hands Of Samuel Fay, grandson
to Captain Fay, who occupied it as a
dwelling house. and still later into the
hands of his son, John Fay, who died
in 1866. \, the present time the prop
erty is owned by his widow, but the
old house had not been occupied for
year or two. Some alteration and re-
pairs had been made on it but it was
substantially the same house that wit
messed the struggle, first with New
York and ailerward with the mother
country. The old Council Chamber, II
small room where the old Council Of
Safety held their meetings, was the
same, with the words Council Cham

They are only equalled by THOMAS HooD's little
poem entitled "The Dedth-bed." which we pub

A Dirge.
Softly
She is lying
With her lips apart,
Softly
She is dying
Of broken heart.
Whisper
She is going
To her final rest.
Whisper !
Life is growing
Dim within her breast.
Gently
She is sleeping;
She has breathed her last.
Gently
While you're weeping,
She to heaven has passed.
