We have asCertained that elaborate
amateur theatricals are in course of
preparation by some of the young people
of Benningtonand will probably be given
the latter part of this month. 1t has
been decided to give the proceeds of the
entertainment to the Y. NJ. G. A. We
have been unable to obtain fuller partic-
ulars, no announcements whatever hav-
ing been made, but we expect our next
issue will contain full information re-
garding what promises to be the most
finished affair of its kind given in BEN
nIngton in many years. 90,
iTHE Rev. !. S. Michaud's friends who
have teams. are making a .'bee" to draw
stone from the blouse Quarry for the
ST Frances de Sales parsonage. to lie
located on tie west end of the chanel of
the new church fronting on MAIN street.
The stone can probably be drawn for
half the usual EXPENSE during this fine
sleighing. Mr.. Dubuc is at the quarry
and assists in loading the stone. which
are the same as that used in the church
edifice. T. -
