THE BAZAAR.

The Bazaar opened last evening most favor
ably at the Baptist church. The slips have
all been removed, giving spacious room for
exhibiting their goods and accommodating
the people. The exhibit of musical instru-
ments from the house of Fred II. Cluett is
very fine, and there will be daily and even
ing concert by Prof. Louis Davis of Troy,
who will play OH the piano and organ at the
same time. The exhibit of crockery, china
bronzes, aud triple Bohemian glass ware
from Starkweather, Allen and Baker of Troy
is very extensive and elegant, and offered at
remarkably low prices. The dry goods ex-
hibit from W. II, Frear, is choice and of
great variety. Charles II. Shaw has given
the ladies one Of the finest fruit dishes we
have seen. Among many other attractive
features was a moss house with doors and
windows all complete, and lighted ready for
occupancy. The voting for that elegant
swerd started off well. many from Camp
Stark voting for the officers of their choice.
The first vote ives cast for Capt L. X. Fuller.
Votes were cast for Captains Estey, J. w.
Newton, Egloff. FIR ear and N. o. Wilcox. At
the close of the eve ming Capt. j, W, Newton
was one vote ahead the next on the list be-
ing Captain Wilcox. Voting will be cuntin-
ued during the bazaar The ladies' booth for
the sale Of domestic articles is also quite at
tractiye.

Camp Stark.

The weather of yesterday was fine; the
forenoon was improved by the regiment in
battalion drill, in which the officers and
men showed remarkable profcie1cy III view
of the fact that they meet as regiment but
once year for that purpose. The Fuller
Light Battery also took advantage Of the
day for drill, and made, to our eye, very
tine appearance, the presence of some 80 vet
Grams in the organization of 80 men making
itself felt in the promptness and accuracy
with which the various movements were
performed. The event of the day was the
parade of the regiment and battery before
Governor Fairbanks and staff at 6PsM. The
Governor arriving about 40 p, NJ, was sa-
luted by Fuller's Battery. and was at once
conducted to the tent of Col T. S. Peck,
where he was called upon by the officers of
the command, and spent pleasant hour in
the interchange of the social courtesies of
the occasion. At $50 P. NJ, the regiment
marched in column of companies into the
main field, where the line, fronting south,
was formed by Adjutant Tenney. After the
parade was formed, Col. Peck put the regi-
ment through the manual in which the
boys" are well, up for the most part. and
then calling his officers to the front and CEN
ter he marched to where the Governor and
staff were stationed, saluted, and then dis
missed his command. This parade of the
regiment and tho battery was admirably ex-
ecuted in all its details, andwas very fine
spectacle witnessed by very large number
of visitors of both sexes who tsere warm in
their expressions of delight. The regiment
of militia, as will be seen by our list else
where. contains large number of veterans,
and the old soldiers show in peace that they
have not forgotten the training of the old
war days Among the orders read on parade
was one reducing corporal to the ranks for
and we learn that on applica-
ton of Selectman. Huling and Sheriff
Robinson that Col. Peck yesterday afternoon
sent Provost guard of 20 men under Lieut..
Tapliu to close up and keep closed liquor
saloon that had given m UGH trouble. To
night the regiment will escort heyisiting
troops from New Hampshire to the tents now
ready for them on the grounds.
On Wednesday afternoon the regiment will
escort the President to his quarters, and it is
expected that they will also have the plea
sure, on that occasion, of the attendance of
their military neighbOrs, the newly arrived
trOOps from New Hampshire

A Comment,

The editor of the Burlington Clipper
makes a few comments on our centennial in
the words following which are quite read
able to those who are acquainted with the
publishing business in the State:
mot being fully convinced that 1t will be
convenient for us to attend the next centen-
nial of our State, we have decided to omit
tile regular issue of the Clipper next week
and visit the land which under certain con-
ditions-on time--was liable TO make Molly
Stark widder.' In doing this we save for
our creditors from fifty ~ sixty dollars aud
have a whole week TO ourselves. To those of
our patrons who 80 promptly pay that two
dollars ia ed vance, we make due apology
for this omission, although fully satisfied
that we furnish far mole wisdom, news,
abuse and compliments tn ffty-One Issues
than any one Of our neighbOrs do in twice
thar NUMBER As for those slow. coaches,
those dilapilated specimens Of humanity
who liye simply 10 sponge out an existence,
we have no apology TO make, simply saying
they can please us in two ways Onlyj pay
M what they owe or give us a chance pub
lish their obituaries Hoping 10 meet every
body ION the battle field and hoping still
more to find them all happy and sober, We
return TO private life--fOr one week. Dur
ing ail this time please do not forget that
the Clipper Is only two dollars year When
paid in advance"

AN INTERESTING LETTER.

The subjoined letter was written by
Anthony Haswell, one of the old
citizens of Bennington, who came here
in 1888, and was the founder of the
Vermont Gazette, in June of that year.
The Gazette was the first paper pub
lished in Vermont with the exception
of paper published at Dummerston, of
which but few numbers were issued.
This letter was addressed to General
Elihu Cross, then in command of the
Vermont troops at Burlington. The
original is the property of Prof John
Cross, cf the Log Cabin, and the copy
was kindly handed us for publication by
William HaSwell, of Bennington, the
grandson of Anthony Haswell
BENNINGTON, Seps. IL, 1912.
RESPECTED OLD FRIEND: l cannot
fight well, as the use of the musket was
never familiar to me; but what 1 can
do; hope l shall be supported in at
tempting at this important crisis A
berth, as issuing commissary, assist
ant commissary assistant quartermas-
ter, or anything else, even to monitor
or occasional chaplain, or nurse for the
body as well as conservstor for the
mind, (if such place was vacant
among you, and would pay for the
remnant of a trifing life,) would suit
me and l would wait on you at call,
even though l should leave a bald head
on the field of danger, to be embalmed
by the dews of Heaven, naked and I'M
buried, could / add a jot to the bust
ness of retrieving the honor sullied by
Hull, l think the apprehension would
give me no terror.
God be with you, direct and pre-
serve you, send Just line, to say how
do you do and heaven bless you, by a
neighbors boy, who trust will make

brothers living at Enosburgh, who are
married to sisters of his; whom he has
not seen for two years If the service
will admit and you can aid him with

my wife's parents live there and would
be highly gratified by the favor.
Your friends in this quarter are we'll

are about volunteering their services
TO the Governor. Our young men are
consulting about embodying as volun-
teers and profering their service to
the President. They meet tomorrow.
If they come on you must be a father

In great haste, excuse a hasty scrawl,
and at all times command the services
and respect of your old friend

TnE COMING or pREsIpENr nAYEs

1t is now authoritatively announced
that President Hayes and party, con-
sisting of his son Birchard, Attorney
General Devens, Postmaster General
Key, and Secretary of War; Geo. w.
McCrarey, viii arrive in Bennington
about Up. M, Wednesday. Gen.Peck, of
the Governors staff, will probably meet
the President as the representative of
Gov. Fairbanks, at Troy, and on his
arrival he will be received by the Gov
ernor and staff, and the officers and
members of the Centennial Commits
sion. The military honors will be a
salute from Fullers Light Battery, and
the escort of the President to his quar-
tiers by the LIST Regt, National Guard
of Vermont Col. T. S. Peck, COM
handing. 1t may be proper here to
say that the soldiers of our State both
militia and veterans will hail the arrival
of the President with peculiar pleasure
not more because he is the Executive
head of the nation than because he was
a gallant, able and honored comradc.
On the same day that General r. B
Hayes heroically stormed the difficult
crest of South Mountain, fighting and
falling desperately wounded in com
mand of an Ohio Brigade in General
Cox's Kanahwa Division the Yer.
mont Brigade" under Generals "Baldy"
Smith, and w. T. II. Brooks carried
Champions Gap in gallant support of
their part in that fierce battle that was
the splendid prelude to the terrific
victory of Antietam September the
18th, 1862 The people of Vermont
may not all feel certain that the Presi.
dents political policy will be crowned
with the perfect success they desire for
it, but they are too manly and sturdy a
race to forget that the President of
the United States has poured out his
life blood, for the nation with all the
prodigality of the humblest farmer
boy in Vermont that fought in the
ranks during the great war that is gone,
but whose din still falls not family on
our mental ears, whose stern sights rise
not dimly before the eyes of our men,
DRY and imagination, when our veter-
ans COME crowding down to Bennington
and feel that the grasp of the Presi-
dents hand is that of a comrade true
and tried, who with them freely offered
the last sacrifice a man can make for
his country, the tender of life that the
God Of battles graciously did not find
it within his Providence to take. As
the representative not only of the Gov
eminent of these United States, but
as an illustrious survivor of 100000
true and tried who labored and suffer
ed, who fought and bled good friends
for me and you" President Hayes will
be enthusiastically welcomed to Yer
mont, out of whose splendid county of
Windham came his paternal and ma
ternal ancestors. We do not stop to
speculate philosophically on this occa-
sion about policies and state craft, we
stretch out our hands to the President
with the impulsive warmth of that
welcome that, to the honor ofhuman ma
ture be it said, always wells up irresis-
tibly out of the lowest depths of the
popular heart when one who took
wounds for the nation and was ready
to accept death for it is our coming
guest.
