THE ''bear hunts" hereabouts have re.
vived several stories of the valor dis
played by Bennington Nimrods in former
days, and the Philadelphia Times dishes
up the situation in these lines:

COFFEE, whose OdOr has been consid-
cred so delightful is getting into bad
Odor. They make brandy of the coffee
bean in Mexico, and some straight-laced
New England physicians have pro-
nounced the malady of an insane patient
to be clearly due to coffee drinking. 1t
must have been boarding house coffee,
says the funny man of city exchange
who never drank Bennington coffee.

AN exchange tells how n Pittsfield,
Mass, Democrat attempted to help the
Democracy in the late election and how
he came out, in these words: "a local
grocer is said to have raised the price of
coffee five cents pound last week, and
iold his customers it was on account of
,he tariff. He was considerably set back
when he learned that coffee hadn't been
touched at all by the new bill, and his
ady customer, who found out he was
winding her, found another store where
lie proprietor isn't quite so greedy"
A NOVEL entertainment is to be given

w." The hostess is an edison talking

.ffair. Refreshments will be served to

THE Bennington Creamery has shut
Town for the winter after fairly sue
,essful trial season. 1t will start up
lgain April LIST of next year. As we
pointed out few weeks since, the farm
,rs can take hold of this and if all go
nto the production OF cream, in no way
AN they as successfully or prosperously
make butter In Wilmington and other
owns that have heretofore supplied the
Bennington market land good one it is
,oo), their creameries are run the year
'ound, the patrons having mich cows
or the winter as well as the summer
months. This should be done here in
order to reap the most benefit.
THE Troy Press shows in the follow
ng, how it looks to an outside friendly
party: "A bill is before the Vermont
Legislature making large appropriation
or the dedication of the Bennington bat
lie monument on the 10th of August
next and the celebration of the one hun
1redth anniversary of the common
wealth's admission into the Union of
States and the encampment of the Ma
ion Guard of Vermont, and directing
,he Governor to invite the States of New
and Massachusetts, to partici-
pate. The bill will undoubtedly pass,
shOTn somewhat of its outward adornings
and limited appropriation becoming
the narrow views of economy entertained
by the present Legislative members"
CURTIS d. SWEET is the owner of a
Spanish coin, original value about twenty
cents, bearing date 1722. 1t has several
of "Phillipus V. d. g." on one
side and the Latin inscription so COM
mon on such coins during the last CEN
fury, and remembered by some people
now living. For Spanish money (silver
coin) circulated freely in this country up
to about the time of the war. Mr.. Sweet
found this coin while digging potatoes,
evidently relic of the revolution, and
values it highly. A friend at our elbow
suggests that the coin is probably one of
the time of Philip V. The placing of
this king upon the throne of his grand
father Louis XIV. led to the war Of the
Spanish succession in which the Duke of
won his distinction.
