Explanations Demanded.

Something that l would like ex-
planned" Why people of Bennington and
adjoining towns will buy cemetery work
of agents when they can save from 10 to
20 per cent. by buying their work at
home. know that some of these agents
say it is because their work is shipped
direct from the quarries others say it is
because their rates of freight are less.
Now the facts are these The customer
has to pay the travelling expenses, Ter,
centage or salary of these agents, which
ever way they may work. In regard to
shipping work direct from the quarries,
there is none that can ship more direct
than I, and as to freight l can quote
rates as low as the lowest, of which fact
you can satisfy yourselves by calling on
any freight agent and | am confident
that can show any person that wants
anything in Granite or Marble, either
cemetery or building work, that they
can save money by calling on

According to a Washington corre-
spondent, Treasury clerk presented to
Second Comptroller Gilkinson the other
day a report rejecting certain claim.
Mr.. Gilkinson looked the papers oyer
and concluded that the claim was a just
one. Thereupon the clerk, who mad
been long time in the department, said
that the claim might be an honest one,
but the precedents we're against it. To
this the Comptroller is said to have re-
piled "The duty of the clerk and Off
GERS of this division is to ascertain first
whether the Government honestly owes
this man the money which he claims,
and second, having so ascertained, to
find some law which will authorize us
to pay it to him." We do not vouch for
the accuracy of this report, but we do
not hesitate to say that if it is not true it
ought to be. The principle upon which
department officers usually proceed
that it is their first duty to resist the
payment of any claim, right or wrong,
is unjust and discredItable.

One hundred aud twelve years ago to-
day was fought one of the decisive bat
ties of the Revolutiou-the battle of
Bennington, in which Molly Stark be-
came famous. 1t was small sklrmish,
if only the numbers engaged are taken
into account; but 1t was turning point,
and it led to Burgoyne's surrender.-1He
NetU York Mail DC Express Of the 17th,
inst. Passably correct, except as to date.
The battle was fought on the 10th as our
New York contemporary should know,
and was a battle, fought out with great
military skill on the part of Gen. Stark
and his officers, and with determined
bravery by both officers and men. 1t
was no skirmish, though the numbers
engaged were not large. By the side of
the great wars of history and especially
in comparison with our great civil war,
the war of the Revolution seems insig-
nificant; but in its effect on the history
of the world it suffers nothing in COM
parison with any. And to this remark
able effect Bennington contributed the
Saratoga surrender, for without Bur
goyne's defeat the appeal to arms of the
American colonies would have ended in
failure. Vermont in that case would
never have got any farther towards
statehood than its Declaration of indie
pendence, made just before the battle,
would have carried it. The battle of
Bennington not only decided the fate of
the new Nation but it created the State
of Vermont as well. At the time of the
battle the territory, now known as YER
mont, was then generally known as the
New HamDshlre Grants though claimed
by New York and, inasmuch as the
Grown had decided in favor of the set
tiers and against New York, this terri
tory would have remained a part of New
Hampshire had the war for lndepend-
snce failed. The Battle of Bennington
therefore, by deciding the fate of Bur
goyne and thus of the war, decided also
what the final status of the new State of
Vermont was to be. A very decisive
battle certainly it was.

Thirty Thousand Odd Fellows,

A Columbus despatch of the 18th,
says One of the grandest assemblages
of Odd Fellows ever seen on this CONT.
nent will be that which will be witnessed
IN this city during the week beginning
September 16. The Sovereign Grand
Lodge will then be in session, and the
Patriarchs Militant, the uniformed por-
ton of the order, will be here in num-
bers estimated at from 5000 to 10000.
1t is thought that the grand process
sion will contain 10000 Odd Fellows in
line. The order of Rebekahs will also
be in session, and this meeting will at
tract many ladies'. Vermont is accredi
ted with four delegates to the National
Rebekah Convention two of whom are
Mesdames NM. Puffer, and H. L.Stillson
alternates, Mesdames |. E. Gibson and
John H. Ayres; all of Miriam Lodge,
Bennington.
The drill of the uniformed divisions,
for which prizes aggregating 81 900 will
be offered, will be an important feature
of the meeting. 1t is expected that sew.
eral cities will make an effort to have
the Sovereign Grand Lodge removed
from Columbus,

The object of this Association, which
has become one of the most popular in
stitutIons in the country lis the advance.
ment of the legitimate interests of the
breeders of road and trotting horses.
The public have learned from the four
past exhibitions that the purposes and
methods OF the exhibition are strictly
legitimate, and that its meetings are so
conducted as to afford an entertainment
of the highest interest, entirely free from
all the Objectionable features that too
often attend gatherings of this character.
All gambling, liquor selling, side shows,
catch-penny games and peddling are
strictly excluded from the grounds. The
colt races, of which there will be seven
at the coming meeting, have always
been honestly fought out, giving honor
to whom honor is due, and indeed all
the speed contests of the Association
have been above suspicion. The next
meeting, which takes place a. Rutland
on the 28th, Goth and Both inst, prom
ises to excel its predecessors in many re.
spects. The entries to the stakes are
more numerous, the premium classes are
fuller and more varied, the number Of
horses on exhibition will be greater and
the prospect Of exceptional speed is
more promising than ever before. More.
over, the track has been put in first-class
condition by the expenditure Of nearly
two thousand dollars thereon. The
money to be contested for will exceed
5000, and the number of horses shown
will probably reach 800. The meetings
are attended by the best people, as well
ladies as gentlemen; buyers are attract
ed from all over the country, and the
meeting furnishes an unrivalled market
for fine horses, The SURPRISING beauty
of the Vermont horses, acknowledged
everywhere, is one Of the great attrac-
tions.
At the coming three days meeting,
beginning the 18th, special trains will be
run on all roads leading into Rutland,
and will leave each afternoon after close
of the races Railroads will carry pas
sengers for fare one way, according 10
advertisement in another column.

The Free Press report says that Editor
Benedict said the first paper in the State
was published at Westminster and was
called the Gazette or the Green Noun
tain POstboy. Some years ago in con-
nection with a member Of the Haswell
family, we satisfied ourselves that the
Vermont Gazette at Bennington, found
ed by Anthony Haswell, was fairly en-
titled to the honor of the first paper.
Both these journals were founded in
June 1881, but land we quote from mem.
ory), if we are not mistaken, the Ben
nington paper was issued June 9th OF
that year, while its Westminster name
sake did not appear until the 18th day
of that month and year. The Gazette
was, moreover, published consecutiyely
down to 1851 while the Westminster
affair died after a brief existence.
