A meeting was held Tuesday evening by
the members of the General Stark steamer
company, at their rooms on Pleasant street,
to test the feeling of the members on the
subject of a firemen's muster the 10Th of
August. The subject was talked up, and
they decided to have Il muster if the ncccs-
sary funds could be raised A paper was
drawn up and will be circulated among the
citizens of this village The patriotism IN
Bennington has been dormant for some
time, and it seems as if the leading citi-
zens, the merchants especially, could
arouse from their ethargy and help the
boys get up celebration for the coming
10th. 1t would certainly be pecuniary
benefit for all the merchants in the place,
and would also show that the people here
are not all dead.

ing hand in getting up n celebration for the
10Th, in memory of the great battle of Ben

be induced to come here if the proper in
ducements were held out. Let all the hale
and hearty boys put their shoulder to the
wheel and give one grand push.

There are large numbers of pilgrims con-
stantly arriving at Spiritvale, and after a
few days tarry at the Eddys- witnessing
their performances depart, some highly
gratfied at the result, others indignant at
the humbug, and still others who are COM
pletely mazcd and COMPOUNDED at what they
have seen and heard Mr.. Frost, the gen.
eral agent of the Eddys, seems TO be the
biggest fraud of the lot, and is getting very
unpopular. His manner of gazing in an
insulting manner at every lady he meets is
getting unbearable and disgusting. There
are strange stories in reference to his con-
duct toward ladies that he has brought here
which occurred during his conveying them
hither. Miss Lizzie Doten, the.celebrated
spiritualist of Boston, was especially in
dignant.
Mr.. Asa Thomas was brought here by
Sheriff Cobb of Middlcbury, court of in
quiry having adjudged that his legal settle
ment was in this town. F.

AS Mr. J. &, Ingalls,, son and wife, were
| proceeding towards their home, last S6tur-
day evening, about ten o'clock, they were
suddenly attacked by party of three
| young men concealed by the roadside. Tho
assaulters first struck Mrs. Ingalls,, Telling
her to the ground. A lively battle ensued,
in which Mr.. Ingalls, and son were victori'
GUS, giving the lawless fellows more than
they bargained for. The young men then
retired, but being now thoroughly ''riled,
made night hideous for several families in
the vicinity by screaming, throwing stones
against the buildings, etc. They were
| probably intoxicated, and we hear and
hope they are to be properly dealt with by
the authorities. Such lawlessness should
not be tolerated.
The Mount Holly cornet and string
bands took trip to the pleasant town OF
Pittsford, on Monday last, furnishing

and social festival in the evening. They
were handsomely treated by the Nick.

grateful remembrance for the same.

growing, and promises to be very late.
