A Revolutionary Relic,

Mr.. NJ. S. Davidson, who resides at
the rear of No. 10 Blackstone street,
north, has in his possession, and brought
to the Courier Office this morning. a
relic of the long ago in the shape of a
revolutionary flag, that he prizes highly,
and one well calculated to send the mind
back to times the present generation
has only known from history or legend.
The relic in the case consists of silk
American flag of finest. texture, with
thirteen white stars cut by hand and
sewed on a cream satin background.
The flag was made by corps of ladies
of Boston, Mass, to be presented to a
regiment of Bennington (Vt.) infantry
when it should reach Boston, which il
did after the battle of Bunker Hill,
though badly decimated in numbers.
The flag subsequently passed into the
hands Of the historical Carter family,
and by Mr.. Carter, descendent of the
Revolutionary hero, was presented TO
Mr.. Davidson while the latter was keep
ing an eating house at Bloomington, H.,
In pay for kindnesses received during the
stirring times of 1862. The old flag has
memories and legends which cling
about il, and Is highly priced. II is two
feet by three feet six inches in size

THE WILD WEST PARADE.

AT about eleven o'clock on the fore
noon OF show day, the combined From
tier and Forepaugh shows will appear in
professional order upon our streets,
Delegations of Sioux, Comanche, Kiowas,
and Pawnee Indians, in full war paint
and feathers, will ride upon their wiry
ponies, preceded by scouts, trappers,
plalnsmen, etc.
A representation of an emigrant train
crossing the prairies will be feature of
the parade; a genuine "prairie schoon-
er, loaded with emigrants and their par.

form most realistic representation of

handsome performing horses and ponies,
and many other novelties meyer before
seen in any similar display. The New

nounce Forepaugh's show the most novel
and attractive of any now before the
public; and when it is remembered that
1t exhibited for nineteen consecutive
weeks in the metropolis, and that all its
great features will be exhibited in this
city, precisely as they were presented
there, it is safe to predict that Tuesday
August 14th, the day Forepaugh comes
to Bennington, will witness the greatest
crowd ever assembled in this town.

about the size of FIVE dollar gold piece
on one side of which is a log cabin with
a barrel of cider on tap in front OF 1t,
and U. s. flag flying from a pole on
the roof. The opposite side has a
picture of Gen. VIM. Henry Harrison,
with the words Harrison and Reform
upon the outer rim of the circle. 1t
makes fine and historic watch charm,
In the windows of Messrs. Squire &
Rawson there has lately been on exhibit
ton an original Harrison badge of the
campaign of 1910. 1t is the property OF
Mrs. Mary Kinsley and was given her
by her brother, the late Hiram Bingham.
1t is the best preserved relic we have yet
seen. II is a square badge made to
represent cameo, and fastens on with
a regular pin and catch. The words
Harrison" above log cabin, land Re-
form" below 1t are plainly seen, while
to the front of the finely outlined cabin
is liberty pole with U. s. flag unfurled,
and on the opposite side of the door
way is a pine tree. Mrs. Kinsley's
father, the late Dea. Stephen Bingham
and his son Hiram attended the famous
gatherthIng on the top Of Stratton
Mountain where Daniel Webster spoke
to about 10000 people, To do 80 re-
quired the journey by carriage, camping
out over night gong and coming, and
other inconvenience not now know to
political gatherings like Burlington to-
day. But the enthusiasm of the LOG
cabin" campaign was equal to il. The
late Hon. Hiland Hall presided at this
StIatton Mountain convention. One OF
the best features of the present canva So
is the revival of these historic events Of
a time which tried mems souls and were
fraught with similar issues-the men,
ace of free trade and European poverty.
In the suit of Field, Chaplin & Fenner
VS., The Bennington Wooden Mills, re.
ferred to last week, Judge Veazey has
handed down his decision affirming that
of the County Court over which he pre- |
sided when this case was tried by jury. |
This claim is 50 800 and arose in the fol |
lowing manner. This firm had on hand
a large amount of goods, consigned for
sale, at the time of the failure. They |
sold these without consent of or await |
ing action of assignee (who had not then
been appointed) or court of insolvency |
which had forbidden the transfer of
property belonging to said insolvent es-
tate, and this ~. 500 is what the goods
sold for less than assigned value. The
Probate Court as a Court of Insolvency |
ruled the sale and claim illegal, the
County Court it seems has by jury re-
yersed that decision and the case now
goes to the Supreme Court. Good law
yers are satisfied that the firm will not
win their case before the higher Court.
If they sold the goods for song it is o
manifest injustice to now allow them to
sue for the deficiency they themselves
created. But the assignee does not set
up this idea in plea. He falls back upon
the law and says if the goods sold had
produced an overplus the principle
W ould have been the same. AS it is
now, however, the other creditors have
IN interest to see that this claim does
not become valid one, but rather that
,he firm contribute whatever has been
ost 10y their precipitate action), to the
assets of the bankrupt mills.
