The stormy weather Of lIc past week
and tbe frequent ffosts Of late, together
with the changing foliage Of our noun
talus, remind as strongly that our au-
tumu IS fast passing, aud that winter viii
soon be upon us. The farmer seems TO
realize the fact, and is busy securing bis
various crops, and putting Ia his winter
store for both man and beast
Our village has been unusually lively
for the last fortnight; large quantities Of
potatoes are being shipped from this sta
ton, which with the usual large ship
meuts ofthis season of the year OF wood
ca ware, lumber aud manufactured goods
makes 10 very busy iu the ueighborhood
olthe railroad depot, which is crowded
most Of the lime as cars for shipment
cannot be had near fast enough TO clean
ont tie freight. We think that the busi-
ness done at this station entities rs TO a
depot suited to our wants; the freight
depot being entirely too small to store the
merchandise, which Of necessity aecmnu
lates while awaiting transshipment. Oar
shops are al busy and turning ont a good
deal of work for distant markets; every
body that will work, can do so, ana at
good wages.
hORrH BENNINGTON,
The roof of the new church is going
up.
This community was startled on
Friday Of last week, by the sudden death
Of Mr.. Charles Wood Of Paper Mill vii
lage, who fell dead on the platform of
the depot, just az himself and family,
consisting Of his wife and five small
children, were about to step on board
the noon train for lloosick Falls. The
deceased had been out Of health for a
considerable time, he was member of
the G., A. r., who came Immediately to
the relief of the sorrow stricken family,
and undertake to provide for them until
other provision can be made.
The burlesque opera, "LAfricaine'
given first by few young ladies of Ben
nington for the amusement Of themselves
and their invited guests, was by request
repeated at Bank Hall on Saturday eve,
Oct. 10Th, for the benefit Of the Cong,
Church. The night was dark and rainy,
and the attendance not large, but the
lips of those who were present were eo-
quent with praises of the entertainment.
The fair and accomplished daughters of
Bennington have richly earned the enyi-
able reputation they have already won as
amateur performers, and it occasions no
small degree of satisfaction to know that
we have such an array of talent in our
midst, If the people Of Vermont would
bestow less liberal patronage upon the
numerous travelling impositions that an
nually throng our State and drain her of
thousands upon thousands Of treasure, to
say nothing of their tendency in a moral
point Of view, which is certainly open
to criticism; and would foster and en-
courage more the development and cul-
ture of latent home talent, of which every
community NAV we'll feel nroud thew
would mot only worry groatlv enhance tbo
material growth If onr commonwealth
and elevate tho tope If pnblicnoroIs
