~ The "Second Battle Of Benning-
ton" is the title of small volume lust
issued from the press of the st. Adams
Advertiser Printing Company, contain
ing history of Vermont's Centennial
and the celebration ofthe one hundredth
anniversary of Bennington's battle, pre-
pared by Charles :. Forbes of St.
Adams. Ii is a compilation of the
reports prepared by the author for
the daily press during the celebra-
ton. The typographical appearance of
the volume is all that could be wished
and the general style of the work is sat
isfactory. The author has undoubtedly
endeavored TO give true and full re-
cord of the events ms they transpired,
and his efforts are not entirely unsuc-
cessful, though it is n matter of regret
that work put in such permanent
form and so well done could not have
been perfect. Having given it only a
hasty glance we cannot now refer TO
nut one important defect II any others
do exist, and that is in reporting the
Veteran Reunion. Under this head the
author refers TO Col. Hooker rs leading
the van, then describes his famous
march across the mountain with his
enormous staff of veterans, devoting
several pages to this matter, and in q
single paragraph incidentally alludes 10
the brigade and battalion commanders
of the reunion organization The gem
eral commander of the reunion forces
is not mentioned, but the impression Is
left that Col. Hooker held that position,
which was not the fact. Col. Hooker
was one of the marshals of the process
sion, and held subordinate position in

the Reunion forces. Though his staff
made very fine appearance, and should
be mentioned, yet they ought not to be
compelled against their will to mono
police the honors due the veterans, es-
especially as large number of the
members of his staff were not veterans
at all. The details of the commissary
department and bills of fare may be in
teresting and profitable reading. but as
record of the greatest Reunion of Yer
mont veterans yet had, and more than
likely, that will ever occur, we should
have preferred some statement as to
numbers, correct roster of the officers,
if not of the men, and brief account,
at least, of their doings in camp.

are able to hope for an end to the long

have fought long and nobly for free

but that a people who have shown so

THE EUROPEAN SITUATION The
voice Of the dispatches from Europe is
still for war. The aspect is now so
threatening, and the probabilities Of
war 90 great, that no one can now be
found 90 reckless as to predict, or even
hope, that the clouds will pass away,
and that the peace Of Europe will not
be broken. Immense preparations have
been made BY both Turkey and Russia
and each seems to be determined to
eight il out" At present no reliable
news can be obtained as to what il
going On at the front, but general
movement Of the troops Of the two ma
tions it is believed is being made, which
must soon result in q collision. By the
end Of another week il il likely all the
world will be resounding with the news
Of great battle between the cross and
crescent on the banks Of the Danube.
It would give but little offence to the
civilized and christian nations Of Europe
if The great powers would unite together
to drive the Turkish authorities from
altogether. But if they will
only stand off and let Russia alone she
will soon accomplish that little feat her
self, without their assistance.
