In justice to the five bands who furnished
the admirable and beautiful music for these
exercises, it is but just to state that Browns
Band has the reputation, aud we think just
ly too, of being the best band in New Hamp-
shire, and the same may be SAID Of the Cadet
Band of Massachusetts,, and the Sherman
band of our own State, while for the time 1t
has been organized, our own Park Guard
band ranks well beside these older ones; and
with the same advantages would be their
peers. The Woodstock band plays well, also.

With the heraldlng Of boasts
oer their triumph IN The north
Come the Brtous hirelIng hosts
TO another conquest forth.
Where laughs the bright waloomsae on lis way.
The glory OF the pines
Lies DER their guarded lines,
And the snn Of August shines
For the fray.
But Warmers peasant band
In the held have lett the pillow,
Aud haste at bis command
With the slernly uttered vow.
And their gathering Is a torrent on It's way;
And Allen, skilled TO dare
Alike in fight or prayer.
With carmel weapon there
Meets the day.
Then Stark with eagle eye
Scans the bulwarks on the slope,
And his soul is burning high
With the joy OF patriot hope,
As he stands mid his hardy mountalneers:-
Boys yonder fOenIen red
Must be ours ere day is dead,
Or Molly Stark must shed
Widows tears"
Then come the Volleyed crash
AID the sturdy foemens blow
As with shout and tears they dash
Ger the ramparts Of the foe,
And gather In the harvest OF the fray.
New Hampshlre's manly brood
and the bold Vsrmonter stood
With the best OF Berkshres blood,
On that day,
But sad that harvest side
TO to the hopes Of proud Burgoyno,
For the laursls Of his pride
In the dust are dashed and strOwn,
And the hounds OF vengeance madden on his trail
Anon our gallant sres
Shall pale his glory's fires.

Ay-let the sculptured stone
Bear It's record OF renown
From the century that's gone,
Thro' the ages swelling down,
How our fathers won the blrthright Of the free;
And the lannon's throat Of fame
Thunder Bennington's proud name,
Waking conscious hearts to fame,
Yet to be.

Railway Matters.

Last Monday afternoon all the employees
of that part of the Harlem Extension railroad
between Benninffton and Chatham were DIS
charged, to lake effect at midnight on that
day. The rolling stock, depot supplies and
everything owned by the Central Vermont
along the line were gathered up, and the
whole business came to standstill No
trains passed over the road Tuesday, What
it all means is a matter of conjecture. The
road between here and Rutland and State
line is running as usual.

DEAR SIR: have to acknowledge the re-

1t is fitting that the veteran soldiers Of
Vermont, whu contributed so much towards
the successful termination of the war of the
Rebellion, should meet on the classic fields
of Bennington, and amid the TecollectiOns
and associations of the events of one hum
dred years ago, revive the spirit of '76 and
'6l, and pledge anew their loyalty to the
cause of liberty and the interest of our COM
mon country.
Present or absent shall be with you in
spirit wishing success TO you and your as
sOciatcs. | remain
