The Cirst national sanA of Ben-
nlmGIOm.

In October, 1863, Hon l. r Graves and
others procured a charter for q national
bank to be established in this village to be
called the First National Bank of Bennng-
ton starting it with a capital of $4,000.
This was the second national bank in the
state, (ihc first one being located In
Springlicld) and the one hundred and
twcnIy-seycnih IL the United States. The
directors who were elected at the first
meeting were Hon II G Root, II L Brad
ford, G l. IIoughton. w Il Graves and
Hon / r Graves.
The first president was Hon J. II Graves,
The first cashier was Hon II G Root, Ellis
4 Cobb being teller at that time. In Janu-
airy, 1861 Mr. lloughton resigned the posi-
ton of a director, and was succeeded by
Willard Gay of Troy, y y, which is the
only change that has been made in the
board of directors, they being the same
now (with that exception as first coasti-
tuted. In January. 1865, Mr. E A Cobb
was called 10 the position of cashier, winch
position he still holds, and is considered by
all our business men model cashier.
The bank building is one Of the best
structures in town, being built Of brick,
90 y 40 feet, three stories high. the ground
floor being used for banking purposes, the
second floor being divided into offices,
while in the third floor is hall the size of
the building.
The president Of the bank, Hon l. Il
Graycr, is native Of Rutland coy, ttown
Of Shrewsbury from which place he re-
moved some thirty years ago to this viii
age, where he established himself in the
tin business, and by a strict and careful
attention to business has amassed a large
fortune, and as a bank president is known
as careful and thorough one, and with
him at the head assisted by Mr. Cobb,
all will be treated in such a manner as will
be for the best interests of the institution.

combinations.

Hon. L. p. Cotton of Irasburg, the head
centre of the oranges in Vermont, is named
by the Barton M0nit0r for lieutenant gov
ernor. Mr.. Cotton has had experience in
both branches of the general assembly and
is pretty active politician, but we suppose
his claims to this honor are likely to be
contested, within Che oranges, if not with
out. Col John b. Mead, who is an active
granger, is understood to be an aspirant TO
the lieutenant governorship, and will doubt
less have considerable support as a temper
perancc and farmers candidate.
Orange comfy, by the way, says the
Burlington Fyee Press, seems to be well
supplied with material for lieutenant-gov-
errors Hon. Roswell Farnham of Brad
ford has been most fayorably spoken of for
the position, III former years, and has many
friends who would be glad to see him in
the chair of the senate and Hon. Lyman
G.. Hinckley of Chelsea WILL also, 1t is I'M
derstood, probably be Il candidate for the
second place on the state ticket. These
are honorable gentlemen, and if the repub-
lcans Of the east side present either of
them, the west, we think, will not demur.

Another Erie Railway Strike.

New YORK, Mar. 3.
y Susquehanna depot dispatch says the
employees in the Erie shop at that place
struck yesterday. The alleged reasons for
the strike are that new regulations have
been introduced, many Of the Oldest and
best workmen have been discharged with
out any assigned cause. wages have been
cut down and paid irregular, passes have
been restricted and a few men utterly I'M
skilled in the trade placed to work at the
same wages rs skilled mechanics. Thurs
day evening last meeting was called, when
after a discussion committee was appoint
ed to wait on Mr. Fry and ask for redress
His reply not being favorable the men have
determined to stay out until the company
grant what they demand.

a Grand Fox Elunt.

Our citizens will be surprised to see the
following glowing description of grand
fox hunt, which an exchange locates in
Rutland, Vermont
a grand fox hunt took place at Rutland
on Friday. On Thursday a large party of
ladies and gentlemen assembled at the resi-
dencc OF the Messrs Pierce, where they
were handsomely entertained by a ball and
banquet. The next morning over two hun
dred persons assembled to witness the trial
of hounds. Worcester was well represent
ed. and it seemed as though every town
throughout the county had furnished dele
gates. A live fox which had been obtained
by Mr.. Pierce was led a circuitous route OF
about two miles. over the hills and through
the woods ana wales. AT Il given signal the
hounds were let loose upon the track.
Thirteen dogs started together, and right
mcrrily did the air ring with their music.
Most of them continued TO the end of the
trail, where the judges awarded premiums
TO the first three arrivals.
This undoubtedly took place at Rutland,

THE Davenport Gazette has q very
pretty story to tell Of a nine years
old boy who ran away and walked to
Davenport to see little girl of about
the same age. The parents of the
little girl had previously brought her
and visited at Inland a few days,
during which time Willie and Oracle
grew as fond as their elders are said
to be in decided cases Of the disease
known as "love at first sight.
When Oracle started for home the
about-to-be separated little folks
were only consoled by a promise te
"see each other.soon." Soon was I
word Of widely different meaning al
interpreted by Willie's parents ane
as understood by Willie. The re
suit was first, decided disagreement
about the proper definition; and
second, Willie's quietly starting fo
Davenport on foot and alone in hi
everyday shirt and trowsers. HI
found Oracle, had his visit-th'
alarm of the parents being quietet
| on his arrival at D. by despatch
and was sent home on the hack al
OK. This is the Gdzette's story
and as it is pretty one we will no
spoil it by any explanations or tn
addition of those stubborn thing
which 80 often ruin romsnces an
demolish air castles.

WIN. BAKER, of Rochester town
ship, was in town Monday bringing
back mare from the north part OF
the county in the recovery Of which
the services of the Sheriff had been
called into requisition. 1t seems
Baker loaned the mare some time
ago to q man named Acres, who pre-
ferred to have a horse of his own and
so traded Bakers mare off to get one.
William is not just the man who
loves to do business in that rather
loose kind Of way, and so proceeded
to recover his property by replevin-
the man who had her, however, gave
her up on explanation and without
service of the writ, but promised to
get after Acres pretty sharply
Some men are just that unreasonable
they don't like to be swindled out
of horse, or to have one stolen.
