Mr.. D. A. Clifford, the photographer,
who made the photograph Of Gov. Peck
which hangs in the state house, and for
which he received a vote of thanks OF the
Vermont legislature at its last session, is al

lures, while the lower part serves as work
room.
A movement is on foot for national
bank on Railroad street, aud we understand
with good prospects of success, as several OF
our heaviest business men are ready to sub
scribe to the stock. Some Railroad street
men desire a bank on this street to save so
many steps as are required to reach the
bank on the Plain, and many people desire
larger banking facilities any way, as the
present bank is often unable to satisfy the
demands made upon IT. The law is now
right for the move, the disposition OF those
who control the capital is said to be right,
and we see no reason why the bank may not
be had.
