An Open Letter From the Pastor o f Nc.
Francis De Sales Church.
BENNINGTON, VT, July 10, 1st

BENNINGTON, VT, July 10, 1889.
MR. EDIToR:-Please allow me, through
your paper, to thank all my friends who
by flowers, decorations, refreshments,
offerings and assistance, endeavored to
make July 4th, 1889, memorable in our
church annals.
The fire department, village band and
F, NJ. T. A. B. Society deserve my sin
cere regards for their efforts, despite the
weather. to do honor to the occasion
under their marshal, John Robinson.
The Sodalty Of the B. V. NJ. deserve
my thanks, and that of the whole people
for the tasty manner in which the altar
and its surroundings were arranged.
Also the married ladies for their hard
work and good intentions aud the Ben
nlngton Rifles for their mess tent, with
out which all would have been ruin. To
the livery men also for the teams placed
at my disposal
The rain no doubt interfered some
what with the largeness of the Offering.
l have confidence, however, in the PEG
pie, and believe they are with me.
| am of the opinion that ae our mills,
by the quality OF their goods, have made
Bennington well known throughout the
land, 30 will this church building in time
make it doubly well known by the beauty
of the stone taken from the bowels of our
own Mount Anthony. Builders, con-
tractors, and architects will no doubt
make many journey to our town to
verify on the spot the reports OF news
papers. The consequence will be that
new industry will arise. of which it
would now be vain to speculate.
As one needing help l rejoice at the
prospects of our long defunct Haines
mill getting into line, and as one who
knows quite well the sentiments of this
I.promise the new proprle-
tors our good will and cordial welcome
to our charming town.
Gratefully Yours,
j. S. MICHAUD.

The Old Ship Constitution.

The historical ship Constitution is to
be brought from Portsmouth Navy Yard
to Washington to be used as a receiving
ship instead of the old hulk Dale, which
has done that service for some years
The latter will probably he towed out
into the stream and be used as a ware
house for naval stores, if it can be kept
together. 1t is totally unfit for any 9th
er purpose. The department has deemed
it expedient to bring the Constitution to
Washington, where, while being very
useful for the purpose for which it is in
tended, IL will also possibly serve to
