1t should be part of the road work
everywhere to keep the weeds cut
down which spring up along the sides
of the highways; and this work should
never be neglected. There is scarce

ways do not mature enough weeds to
seed half the adjoining fields.
Delinquent taxpayers will sooner
or later find it is a losing game to
dodge Collector Waite when be is after
them. This was very forcibly illus

The following from the Bennington
Banner will be of interest to our La
noble County readers =
The Putnam house passed into the hands of
its former landlord, Mr. Lucus Collins, last Sat
urday evening. Mr. Collins, however, continue
to manage the Troy House and will not reside n
here. He associates in the management of the d
Putnam Mr.. II. A. Keller who will reside IN t
Bennington. Mr., Keller is a son of Col n p
Keller, the well known landlord and sustains
fully the reputation of the family in his various
relations in other hotels with which he has been
connected for years. We have before us several +
line notices OF this gentleman, referring to his
former chief clerkship of the famed Green
Mountain resort, the Mount Mansfield house of
Stowe; the johnson house, Ogdensburgh, (and
others) and later of the Revere In Troy His |
last engagement was with the Troy house. In
all these relations, for twenty years, before the
public Mr.. Keller has proved himself one of the
princes of landlords, and as such is welcomed ,
here and introduced to our people. We are
pleased to know that the Putnam has again
fallen into the lines which gained its reputation
and this fact is guaranty of its assured success
in the future.

ton in this great authors works. There is, per-
hapS, writer so famous for his child characters
| as Charles Dickens. She painted the pictures of |
Dickens most lOyable characters, Oliver Twist, |
| Little Nell Florence DOmbey and Little Paul |
| how the two latter in childish simplicity loved |
each other. And when that sOrrOwfIl time came |
when this old fashioned child, Paul, was to I'M
derstand the meaning of the waves; was to cross
the dark river; the gentle face of Florence bent
over him, and her loving spirit guided him; the |
golden ripple on the wall came back again and
nothing else moved in the room. The old, old |
fashion which came in with first parents and |
viii last unchanged until our race has its |
course and the wide armament is rolled up like |

Godl all who see it, for that older fashion yet, of
Immortality, and look upon us angels of children
with regarCs not quite estranged, when the swift
river bears us to the ocean. Miss Waterman has
clear voice and peases oil with her easy, pleas
ant delivery. Applause and flowers in album
dance was likewise heT lot "
