nington county, was admitted to practice

THE hospital at the Soldiers Home
was completed Saturday. The contract
called for this October 1st and the delay

week.

were brought east and the burial was
at Newark, Delaware.

will be the best equipped for the purpose
in this part of the State.

tanned six fine views of the DIN family

to absent members of this family.
THE Basket Meeting at the Baptist
chapel was very interesting. Returned

years. Letters were kindly read by Miss

THERE has been so much talk in regard
to the distance of the Bennington battle
field from the Vermont line that Mr.
Charles NJ Bliss member of the Monu,
ment Association wrote to Superintend.
ent Crandell to ascertain the railroad
distance. As Baume's line ran nearly
parallel to the Vermont line and crossed
the river and the common road at the
west end of the Barnet bridge, the dis
lance by rail to the White Creek station
on the FitchOurg road would give a close
approximation to an air line distance o
Baume's center from the Vermont line
Mr.. Bliss also wrote to ascertain the dis
lance from the Barnet bridge to the Wal
loomsac station, close by which the en-
gagement with Breyman was fought
Mr.. Crandcll's answer is as follows:
