cIRcUMsrANTIAL EVIDENCE.
About a year ago, Rubenstein, a
Polish jew, was arrested, tried and
found guilty of the murder of Sara
Alexander, a Jewess. A post NOR
TEN examination showed the girl to
be pregnant, and the theory was
that there had been criminal init
macy between the two, and that
Rubenstein had killed her to hide
it. He was sentenced to be hung,
and protesting his innocence, starv-
ed himself to death. The case was
a peculiar one, and there were not
wanting those who believed in his
protestatiOns of innocence. But he
died all the same, and his old ia

account as to how he became pos,

little doubt that his statement is

ONE of the most notable military

ONE of the most notable military
companies in the line at Benning
ton was the AmOskeag Veterans OF
Manchester, N. II. They were &C
companied by the Manchester Cor
net Band, Horace GOrden, leader,
which furnished excellent music,
and was acknowledged to be one of
the best bands in attendance. The
Amoskeag Veterans is an indepen
dent military organization, compos.
ed of many of the prominent and
wealthy citizens of Manchester.
1t is really pleasure to travel
with the Veterans, for several rea
sons; first because they are all gent
lemen and behave as such; second
because, no matter how "high-ton.
ed" or wealthy member is he lays
aside his dignity and forgets his
wealth and goes in for a good time ;
and last though not least, because

THE fact that no ra ilrOad acct

THE tact that no railroad acci
dent occurred within the limits of
our State during Centennial week
speaks volumes as to the excellent
management of our railroads.
When it is remembered that there
is no double track roads centering
into Bennington, but trains run
ming both ways are obliged to pass
over the same track it is sur pris.
ing that collisions did not occur.
Probably nine tenths of the more
than one hundred thousand people
VIII visited Bennington last week
were carried over some of the lines
under the management of the Cen
trail Vermont Road. The carrying
of so large a number of passengers
safely shows that Supt. Hobart has
great executive ability and an in
telligent and careful army of en-
ployees, at his command.

Chicago, July l0,--The Inter

that during the past fortnight secret
agents from the French government
have arrived in this city, whose pres

France and fewer here. They have
recently contracted with few large

A condensed soup capable of preser-
walton for long period and of speedy
preparation has been contracted for.
Similar agents have in few other

to be piled in the wreck, the torch applied

Prnfpssnr Mathers, School.

On last Thursday night Professor Math-
ers' school came to a close, ON which oc-
casion several of the prominent white eitl-
zens attended by invitation. At an early
hour the large house WAS filed with spec
tators, and soon the exercises by the schoi-
ars commenced, which consisted OF reeita-
tons, spelling, reading, ETC, interSpersea
with singing and bu~rlesque8. Although
the school had been in operation only forty
days, yet the pupils displayed remarkable
tact for learning. The burlesques were
performed by the children admirably.
The "IIaunted House" was rendered by a
little girl and boy to perfection. Take it
all together, the exhibition, considering
all things, was well worthy of praise.
After the exercises by the school were
over, Col. Deason and Judge Bagge:t were
requested by Mr.. Mathers to address the
school. They did SO, giving assurance of
the entire appreciation Of those present Of
the conduct and success of Prof. Mathers
and his school.
Before dismissing his school, the Profes-
sor stated that the school would continue
as a private one, and proposed to teach for
fifty cents per month, per scholar, or, where
two or more were sent by one person he
would charge forty cents per scholar
