The summer season at Bennington
Centre opens with the usual influx of
people. The handsome residence of
Daniel Robinson of New York. is open
and occupied by his family. Rev. I. A.
Snively and family are at their summer
home, and near them this year E. A.
King of Troy, and family occupy cot g..
tage. Further particulars we leave to
our regular correspondent to furnish

HAVING heretofore voted TO increase
the salary of the superintendent twenty
five per cent. the Graded school trustees
at their meeting Monday even " ad-
vanced that of Prof. Weld in the same
ratio, making the salaries 81 500 and
81 1875 respectively. We think now at
we did when the salaries of the lower
teachers were reduced that old rate
of 80. a week is little enough for the
talent required to teach in the lower
grades.

making handy pamphlet of reference
to all in interest. The typographical
skill displayed is a credit 20 the BANNER
job rooms and compares most favorably
with the Troy job of the Bennington
Arbor Association.
In another column today we print an
extract from speech, entitled Ear

careful study. Can you purchase in
England cheaper than in America The
writer has experimental with Canada
and knows from personal knowledge
that were free trade or commercial
union established between this country
and the Dominion there would be no ad
to the American. We could
not purchase in Montreal any cheaper
than in Troy.
