EAST BETBEL.-We are still infested with that
awful sconrge, dphtheria, which cannot be said
to have abated very much in the violence OF its
attacks. Over twenty cases have been reported
within the past two months, eight of which have
thus far proved fatal. New cases are reported
every few days some of the most malignant
type while others assume much milder form,
and with careful and early treatment, are gotten
along with, without ueIy severe illness.

THE BENNINGTON CESrESNIAL.-Prof Samuel

to deliver the Grafton at the centennial anniversary
of the battle Of Bennington. It was considered
proper that the state Of Stark should furnish the

Of New Hampshire, n graduate as well as the
Presilent-elect of Dartmouth, and a descendant
Of Josiah Bartlett who fought at Bennington

Governor of the state. The selection seems to be
a fitting one. The Grafton will he delivered on
