Our merchants have nearly all received
their holiday goods and are waiting patient
ly for the day to come when their stores
will be filled with purchasers. Among
these Is John Reeves who has Just returned
from New York with one of the largest
assortments of toys ever brought Into town.
John says that lie paid the cash for them,
and secured discount from the regular
prices, and will sell them in the same way.
Notwithstanding the late arrivals of
cheap goods, Geo. A. Wood has his shelves
filled with dry goods, ETC., and nothing
can be better for a Christmas present to a
lady than new dress. Mr. Wood is one
Of our old established merchants and will
doubtless continue in trade here for some
time, even If other storesj who sell cheap
spring up around him.
Hon. James McDaniels of Kansas City,
Missouri, and Col. 4. d. Eldridge of Kan
sas, have been spending few days in
town. Notwithstanding the honors that
have been placed upon him, "Jim" wears
them gracefully and with ease, and does
not appear to grow old under the burden of
official life. He leaves for Rutland, Tues
day. where he will spend few days.
The Gdsstte IN its last issue, publishes
the following " The Rev. DR.. Hawley
has very skilfully prepared ten tablets
which are methodically arranged for trans
fer to large cards, under the title of drill
cards, for the use of teachers and scholars
in the common or graded schools" The
cards clearly explain the alphabet, also the
division of the same into vowels and con-
sonants plainly show the meaning of
dipthongs and tripthongs explaining the
sounds o. vOwels and consonants, also, how
to distinguish those sounds giving the
pause and reference marks with their uses
displays the character and explains Roman
not0tion, also arithmetical signs and their
uses. Dr. IIawley has had no limited ex
pcrience in the supervision of schools, both
here, and elsewhere, hence these tablets arc
perfectly adapted to fill vacancy long ex-
isting in school instruction. We trust DR..
lIawley will obtain a copyright, thus secur-
ing pecuniary reward for his valuable la
bors in school reform, while affording
wholesome education for our scholars
A meeting of the citizens of the town
will be held at Library Hall, Tuesday
evening next, for the purpose of raising
means to send to the sufferers of the west
ern states Bennington has always hereto
fore done its share in such works and will
probably 90 so in this case.
Those who were present at the Congre-
gational church last Sabbath morning were
delighted with the manner in which that
grand anthem, Guide me, oh thou great
Jehovah" was sung by the choir, Mrs
John V. Hall singing the solo in fine and
artistic manner, while the accompaniment
on the organ, by the organist MIR. Roberts,
| of Troy, was equally well done. 1t is said
that Mr.. Hall will resign the leadership of
this choir at the close of this year, but we
hope that such is not the case, and even If
he does present his resignation it will in all
probability not be accepted
