GEO. G. Cook has been appointed
postmaster at Milford, Mass. The Ga

The Rutland Herald says 1.-The
bennington and Rutland Railway Co. is
replacing the old covered wooden bridge
over Cold river, about two miles south
of the village, with new open trestle
wor structure of one span. The rail
road men will appreciate this action,
even the passengers don't. The road
bed along the line has also received at
tention and is now in excellent condition
for summer travel" A recent trip
proves the last sentence to be eminently
true. There is scarcely road-bed in
the country that is in better if as good
condition as the b. & K.
LAST winter the ladies of the Baptist
Church began series of four entertain
ments for the benefit of the music fund
of that society. In all these the ladies
were very successful, both as to the tai

tunity after it is brought to our knowl-
edge 1t is always the pleasure of the
BANNER to speak in deservedly high
praise of our local musical talent. On
this occasion they even surpassed their
previous good record, as might have
been expected when the character of the
music and the thorough course of train
ing under Prof. Squire is considered.
Very few concerts given by local talent
have equalled this one, and we gladly
make the dnlende honorable even if some
what late in the day.

tives of the deceased filled one full row
of the broad ais'e pews. These attended
prayers at the house, while the people
generally, assembled at the church. The
large gathering attested to the esteem
in which the deceased was held by our
people. The Rev. Mr.. Card of The
Church of the Ascension, Troy, N. Y,
assisted the Rev. w. b. Walker in the
services. The bearers were Messrs.
