The Graded sehooI Commencement.

Last week was notable in the history
of the Bennington Graded Schools. From
Monday until the close of the graduating
exercises Friday evening each hour was
replete with interest to the parents as
well as helpful to the children. The
teachers performed well their part, while
Prof. Davis's mind and care appeared
everywh ere directing the efforts of all to
the complete success attained.
We have given so full accounts last
week and the issue before that date, in
Guiding all the programmes in full, that
less need be said than is usual after the
close of the exercises. And yet the adj
mirable Friday evening programme de-
serves special mention. In these the
two young lady graduates were assisted
by number of undergraduates from the
classes of 1872 and '93. All performed
well their parts. Miss Edith Martha
Dewey's salutatOry was a finished pro-
duction, and Miss Maud Martha Wheel
eT's essay and valedictory did credit
both to herself and TO the school. This
was the verdict of the large audience that
fairly crowded the large School hall to
Overlooking.
Prof. Chas. S. Davis presented the di-
plomas, giving the class parting and
friendly advice drawn from a large ex-
perience as an educator. He congratu-
lated them upon having fully earned the
honOrs that entitled them to this award
of diplomas. Under the present regime,

schools means something. tits evidence

The second year the Bradburys' began
the preservation rather than its "pre-

ton, carefully looking it all over to see
that nothing dirty, fly bitten or

inside of two hours from the time it was
picked in the morning when its bouquet

raise fruit instead of objections, and to
supply fruit instead of gossip, the result
is marvellous. They have now model

1.-THE following Legend of the Suwan.
&c, written by Superintendent Charles
Davis, is the selection recited by
ISIS Audria Bowen in the recent prize
,ntest, and for the recitation of which
lie judges awarded Every honorable
entiOn. ED.
In a rude Florldan cabin
On the wild Suwannee's shore,
Years ago there lived negro,
Bending under trials sore,
To his masters old plantation
lie had brought duSky bride;
In this home they reared their children
AS they labored side by side.
Near the cabin bloomed an orange;
Der the window climbed vine;
At the gateway played the children,
George and Tom and Emmaline.
But their happiness was Swallowed.
By never-ending dread,
Which before the boon of freedom
From our treasured land has fled
Came one day a burly trader,
ScOwling darkly, whip in hand,
Locking chains upon the children
Breaking up that sable band.
Comely children! Gold had bought them.
In masters fancied need
Bought and sold for lust and greed
By them knelt the sad-eyed mother,
All her powers in anguish spent
Praying. moaning. weeping, pleading
That her master would relent
And leave at least one of her children
In the lonely cabin home
The traders lash the only answer
To the stricken womsn's moan
In that dark and bitter hour
Saw the chainlng Of his children,
Saw them in the traders power.
Saw the cruel lash descending
On his wife's defenseless head.
Heard the tumult Of his children,
Weeping wild IN nameless dread!
Ger his troubled brow In anguish
Swept his passion deep and strong,
While his knOtted muscles writhing,
Spoke his power to right such wrong!
Fierce and wild his dark eve flashing,
Der the SCENE around him spread,
Spoke the bondman TO the SLAYER,
"Stay thy hand or thon art dead"
Iook ye, trader! all the wronging
That your laws on me have heaped,
and mine have borne in silence,
While your harvest you have raped"
But no longer shall your minons
Ply the lash to me and mine
to day proclaim our freedom!
Death ends tyranny like thine!'
Quick he siezcd the chained children,
Hurled them to the rivers breast!
In its waves they sank in silence
Sank from slavery to restl
Up the mother sprang and followed
All her heart on earth held dear
Where the shadow of her cabin
Fell on S'wannee's waters clear.
On the morrow naught but ashes
Marked where lived the cabin slave,
And that ruin, scOrchPd and blackened,
Still is called THE Traders Grave"
And when the moon CLEANS through the
shadows
On Suwannee's waters wide,
Oft, tits said, voice at midnight,
'Sings TO its old rythmic tide
"One little home among de bushes.
One dat love.
Still sa lily 10 my memory PUSHES,
No matter where rove,
When will see de bees hummin-,
All round de comb
When will hear de banjo cumming,
Down in my good old home"
IAN de world am sad and dreary.
Ebery where roam.
OH darkies, how my heart grows weary,
Far from de old, old homeW
Thus Il sings beneath the cypress.
On Suwannee's sounding shore;
Thus the old slaves lamcntatiOn
Lives in song foreyermore

Lake, No. BY going up the ''rapids,
about twenty rods above the Rice sur
vey," and making a dam of twenty rods
long by nine feet high, body of water
comprising some 100 acres would be
formed. This would be considerably
farther away Fl ON the village than No. l,
and would extend nearly to Pownal line.
Included in this proposal would be lands
owned by Graves & Root, II. G. Day, II.

combine the two first, and to do so a
dam would need to be built at the Nor

eighteen feet high, and another but
lighter fill on the east bank of the Pow
nal stream, some 20 to 30 rods in length.

this lake would be deep enough to float

would be possible almost at our village

We understand that this whole project
is being looked up by men accustomed
to large enterprises, and hope that they
will find the plan or plans feasible. At

Three Feasible Plans for Artificial

in Prospect.

Three Feasible Plans for an Artificial
Lake - Summer Visitors, Cottages. etc.,
I'm Prospect.
Several years ago, as stated last week,
we wrote up quite fully the plan of form
ing an artificial lake on what was known
as the "Rice survey" The plan at the
time looked feasible and we have seen
nothing since to change our mind. Many
people coming here for the summer have
spoken Of the greater attractions of Ben
ningtOn were there a lake or body of
water near here. The only natural ponds
Of tins sort are in WoodfOrd, and their
utilization at Camp Comfort and Little
Pond are well known TO our readers.
just now there is no locality so popular
for a summer sojourn as one where cot
tages and hotels can be erected overlook
ing a lake. The drawback to most of
these resorts lie in their location back
from the railroad or larger towns. BY
the specifications below il will be seen
that right at our very doors, within one
mile from Bennington station, lake can
be easily and ineXDensively formed, pos
sessing about seven miles of cottage
sites and bluffs overlooking what can be
made into one of the most attractive
small lakes in the world. The location
