The boys and girls 10 Manchester will,
remember that Mr.. Knapp occasionally
supplied the pulpit az Factory Point,
during the absence Of the rector, when he
would preach quite 40 appropriate SER
mon. We were. az the time, once en-
gagged in conversation with Mr.. Knapp,

C. w. Sawyer has lost another val
liable horse from the ~cpizootic. Thus It

the JOURNAL and Bennington Banner.
The publishers of the two papers are de-

-Bowles' steam mill il in brisk opera
tien again, after a delay of two weeks,
caused by the explosion in the engine.
More lumber il being manufactured now
than ever. One fact worthy OF especial
mention regarding this timhser manufac.
turing enterprise is that tho logs are cut
In the woods, drawn 10 the mill, convert.

taken from the mill and delivered TO the

proper destination some miles away.

others, five in all, that were cut seriously
in one way or another, either with * 81
