who saw 1t pronounce it one of the biggest |
humbugs thai has visited Bennington.
Vastly different was the lecture given
under the auspices of the Young Mems as
ISOLATION last Wednesday evening by Rev. |
G. II. Hubbard of this place. The subject |
chosen was "Naples and its environs," and |
the lecture was listened to by large and |
well pleased audience. The reverend gen.
tleman is an able and pleasing speaker and
as everything treated upon during the lee
ture had come under his own personal OBJ
servation, gave "a zest and greater force to
the lecture.
Bucl n. Walker who has been camping
out at the Adirondacks for some four
months and enjoying himself hunting deer,
arrived home Thursday evening last Two
large deer preceded his arrival one day,
and many of his friends have been well
come recipients of choice pieces of venison
since his arrival.
Mr. Ezra Wight, who for several years
has been one of the gentlemanly conduc-
tors on the Harlem Extension railroad, has
severed his connection with that road, and
also announces that he is to leave Benning-
ton This is unwelcome news not only to
his many friends here but along the line of
the road. Ezra is to take charge of the
restaurant at the Manchester depot, and
we are sure that every train that stops
| there will see his counters well patroniZed.
Success to him in his new occupation.
Hon. II. G. Root leaves town Tuesday
fer Florida, where he will pass the winter,
as has been his custom for several years
past. Mr.. Roots many friends in the state
will wish him safe journey, pleasant
sojourn and n safe return.
Rumor also has it that conductor John
j. Paris, Of the Harlem Extension railroad,
reiircs from his position soon. 1t is
earnestly hoped by all Bennington people
that such rumor will prove to be unfounded,
and we are certain that such hopes will be
entertained by nearly all patrons of the
road. During the twelve years that he has
been connected with the road he has gained
the friendship of nearly every one along its
line, and also the confidence and esteem of
his employers, and if the wishes of our
community can have any weight with him,
such rumor ,cW be unfounded. Polite and
gentlemanly to all, his place cannot easily
I've filled.
A union meeting of the ladies' missionary
societies of the Congregational, Baptist and
Methodist churches will he held at the lat
ter church Thursday afternoon. 1t is ex-
pectcd that this will be one of the most in
teresting meetings yet held by these So
cieties, and large attendance is expected.
The Stark steamer company give their
annual ball at Library hall New Years eve.
Holcomb's band, from Troy, furnish the
music, and large crowd is sure to be
present.
Our citizens, as a general thing, are well
pleased with the last time table on the
Harlem Extension railroad. The facilities
for reaching Troy are about the same as
formerly, while under the new time table
person can have nearly five hours in Rut-
land, instead of one and two, as has been
the case in times past. Yet they wish that
II little faster train left here for the north
in the afternoon than the one laid down on
the time table, which takes three hours in
running to Manchester, distance Of TWEEN
ty-two miles.
In the report of the dedication OF the new
Congregational church. your reporter, after
speaking of the amount of money laid out
by the members of the church and society
made use of the following words They
have property, including chapel, building
lot, church and fixtures, on which they
have expended 100000, and on which al
present only remains a debt of $4,000
and from the well-known liberality of the
members of the church and the society, i
is reasonable to suppose that within the
space of very few months this debt will
be entirely paid" This prediction has beer
more than verified, and although less thar
three weeks have elapsed since the dcdica
ton, the debt has been entirely liquidated
and, as expressed by the pastor of the
church during his prayer last Sunday morn
ing. " the congregation can worship Goo
in the beauty of holiness in a church or
which there is no incumbrance. There are

includes among its members but few
wealthy men, have erected a church of the
same size and beauty as the one recently
dedicated at a cost of Gncluding chapel
100000, and the same entirely free iron
debt, especially in such hard times as VIZ
have had for the past fifteen months
Every member of the church and society
have willingly and generously obeyed thu
command of scripture. Bring We all thu
tithes into the storehouse OF the Lord" Ii
fact some have more than done it,
Soon after the dedication of the church
Hon. III. G. Root proposed to pay 50 ,00t
towards the debt providing the remaining
$500 was Immediately raised. All tool
hold with will some even more thar
doubling their original subscriptions
