years pastor of the Congregational church
in Woodstock, died at the residence of his
son-in-law, Hon. James o. Putnam. at
Buffalo, N. Y, Oct. 2Sth, at the advanced
age OF 81 years. Two of his classmates at
Andover Theological Seminary, Rev. Gar
diner Spring, d. ID, of New York, and
Kev. Richard S. Storrs, of Braintree,
Mass, preceded him but q few months TO
the grave. Their class at Andover has
been remarkable for the longevity of its
members.

great excitement prevails in Benning-
ton over the school meeting to be held this
evening, to endeavor to rescind the vote to
erect new school building. On Saturday
forcble circular was distributed through
the village, entitled "The necessity, cost
and taxation for the new graded school
building The circular gives some forciblc
and cogent arguments for the people to pom
der over. The needs of new building are
urged, because the present facilities for ed
ucation are inadequate to the wants of the
community, and a disgrace to any New
england village of three thousand inhabi-
tants. The present schools cost more than
first class schools ought to.
The cost of the building is estimated at
S24, G96.SS. The amount of the village
grand list is over $1,000 and it will take
1926 on the dollar to pay for the proposed
building. To those paying poll tax on
$500, the whole tax would be S9.75. 1t is
proposed to spread the taxes over four years
The benefits of such a building are fully
set forth in the circular.
The people of Bennington-th oldest
and perhaps most prosperous community
in the State-we feel sure, will stand by
their schools and provide all needed facili-
ties Tor the education of their children.
Let every friend of the school rally TO-
night.

A CURIOSITY IN LITERATURE

1t is pleasant to believe that the spirits of
the dear departed hover around U.S. 1t is
consoling to think that those. loved ones,
who have gomez hence before ourselves,
still linger around us in the spirit, if not
in the body. If we could reach the inner
most consciousness of the majority of read
ing, thinking human beings, we doubt not
that we should find that all, or nearly all,
honestly believed in this presence, or,
something very much akin thereto. Some
in one way and some in another, but all
would be found to believe in spirit pres
ence Whether there is actually any such
thing as a spirit presence or spirit influence
is a matter of little consequence so far as
our hopes, situation or prospects in this or
a future world are concerned. One NAV be-
lievc or not in spiritual manifestations in
the way of tamborine playing table tip
ping, chair moving, or medium writing as
he chooses, and it won't make any differ
ence, one way or the other. However all
this may be, Thomas p. Jones, of Brattle-
boro, may congratulate himself upon one
point. Whether he is IA medium or not he
has succeeded in causing a sensation. If
he has not succeeded in outdoing Dickens,
he has produced a curiosity of literature.
In what manner Charles Dickens intended
to solve the mystery of Edwin brood will
always iemain amatter of doubt and spccu-
lation with the majority but to others
there is no doubt about it. Hasn't Charles
Dickens passed to the spirit world ? ask
they. If So and spirits can tip tables,
change chairs, communicate communca-
tons through another, why can't Dickens I?

Goodrich murder. She was disguised with

ahead OF her escort. They wandered about
Tor while, until at length Lucettc halted
on the corner of Eighth avenue and Twent v

ordered them to stand on the opposite cor

Near l o'clock n gentleman came down

the corner of Canal street and Broadway.
Before his story would be believed, Mr..

detectives not only to his own house but 10
that of his foster father; and not until
they had the united testimony of his wife.

the last they continued to speak of their
prisoner lnsutingly as Johnny Beach. But
this was not all. On returning to Brook

President Grant ON r,nc 1,.c,,o,,

a washington special says President
Grant, in conversation with his intimate
friends in Washington, admits that the
elections convey a lesson which should be
his business and that of his party to heed
lie is already engaged upon his message
and it is believed that the vote of last
Tuesday will very seriously modify that
document 1t is understood that the Presi.
dent will elaborate at length some of the
hints contained in his inaugural address.
He will advocate an immediate return to
specie payments, the legalization of the
S44 100000 reserve, the emission of n
treasury note bearing low rate of inter-
est, and such reorganization of the bank
ing system as will give more elasticity to
their issues. The President is also of the
opinion that as the financial difficulty will
throw great many laborers out of en-
ploymont all over tho country, it will be
wise for Congress to enter upon a series of
public works and keep the deserving poor
at work until times become better. Hence
he will urge additional work ON light
houses, harbors, internal and exter-
nal improvements, the strengthening
of the levces of the Mississippi,
the building Of all necessary
forts, and the going ahead with all struc-
lures now in course of erection, or which
have been projected by the government.
In other words, he thinks if some SIC, O00.-
600 or $15,000,000 be spent in public
works, it will help in that way to give en-
ployment TO tens of thousands of working
men who will otherwise suffer- lie also
argues the building of Il great number of
war vessels, not only because they are
needed, but because il will help in the same
way. AS much of the testimony taken by
the Senate Transportation Committee is
now in the Presidents possession, it is be-
lieved lie will boldly ask Congress to begin
some of the most needed great public
works limited at in his inaugural and in his
last message. Among these is the canal
for connecting the Ohio and Virginia can
ais, and the ship canal around Niagara and
one connecting the great lakes with the
Mississippi.

SOMETHING FOR AUCrIoNERRs to THINK
OLA Sullivan N. Y, county court
lately made adecison of interest to bidders
and auctioneers. A farm was knocked
down" to bidder, who afterward refused
to comply with the terms because no one
but the auctioneer bid against him. The
case was taken into court, The auctioneer,
who was witness, testified that the pur-
chasers statement was correct, and the
court declared the sale fraudulent one
and not valid. The substance of this de-
cision is, in plain words, that an auction
eer has no right to 'run up property on q
bidder simply to make a good sale.
