From all parts of the country come the
sounds of active preparation for the proper
observance of Decoration day. This vii
lagc ! am afraid will have to be excepted.
for up to to-day not one word or move has
yet been made, mot even was it mention
ed in our churches yesterday" 1t hardly
seems possible that in this liberty loving
state, and especially in this old historic
town of Bennington, that the people could
be so forgetful of those who shed their
blood and lost their lives in the defense of
the liberties we now enjoy, as to neglect to
strew the graves of the few who are now
lying in its cemeteries, and thus call to
mind the sufferings and privations that
they endured, and show to their surviving
comrades that they are not forgotten. The
post of the G.. A. II. in this village are bad
ly demoralized, and show no disposition to
observe the day. Still we hope that some
thing may yet be done. b.

Two Catholic priests, Rev. Father Burke

menced holding a series of religious exer.
cises, on Sunday morning, 18th inst, at

1t ma not be generally known that de
posts Of lead ore extend from Salisbury
northward along the west slope of the left
spur of the Green mountains, as far at leas
to Stowe or to Mansfield mountain, but
such is the fact. a proper mineral survey
would probably reveal the metal in sufiic
lent quantities to be profitably worked, es
pecially as it is said to be highly charged
with silver as the veins extend northward
Surprising third of the water at OF
ter Creek was diverted at Rutland to sup
ply the Whitehall & Rutland Canal, still

enough for proper sized steamer for TOW

many people, unless the whole are dispose
of by compromise which is not probable.
