A Monument Picture.

Last week the BANNER described a
large photo-engraving of the Monument
in elegant half-tone, limited number
of copies of which will be sold at the
price of small photograph. This is
the only large picture of the monument
ever taken, and it is the only picture
that shows the stately pile exactly as it
is seen to-day from the rise of ground
ground just above the site of the Cata-
mount tavern. The monument, its sur
roundings and the upper part of the
street, appear in this picture just as
seen by the thousands who
passed up the avenue on the occasion
of the centennial.
This is just what your visiting friends
will want to carry home. No choicer
souvenir nor one better representing
the spirit of the celebration could posi-
bly, be chosen by people in Bennington
to send to distant friends.
The picture is elegantly finished, is of
grand size, IS by "a inches, intended for
framing and its cost is only one-quarter
as much as is usually asked for such a
work. 1t may be sent by mail as easily
as letter, in strong tube provided for
that purpose. Every day the mail car
ries copies of this beautiful picture to
persons of distinction all over the
United States.
Call and learn its price. Hand somely
framed copies may be had at the BAN
NER office and of Mr.. j. H. White, the
artist.

East Arlington.

On Saturday afternoon, August Is,
many relatives and friends assembled at
the residence of Mr.. and Mrs. Seymour
Hard to attend the sad funeral rites of
their daughter, Miss NJ. Libbie II ard,
aged twenty years, who departed this
life on the morning of August 18th after
painful illness of some weeks. During
her life her friends had many evidences
of a Christian character. and her death
was peaceful and happy one. She
felt that she was going to her home
above, and that she would meet dear
friends who had gone before.
After the usual service of the Episcopal
church her pastor, the Rev. Mr.. Soaring,
added few words of consolation and
counsel, admonishing those present to
strive earnestly to be brave and pure and
true as was the friend whom we shall
see no more. That she was well be-
loved was evidenced by many touching
testimonials. The floral offerings were
beautiful and appropriate. The Coates
Ajar" expressed a beautiful thought,
the offering from the L. T. L. of which
she was member, was very touching,
while many other lovely flowers showed
the love of her friends for her memory.
At the close of the services the choir
sang what is said to be Cardinal
Newman's last hymn, LEAD Thou me
on" At the close of the services at the
cemetery the band played Nearer, My
God to Thee" a hymn which had been
favorite With her who has gone, as we
sincerely believe, to be near him for
ever. There were present at the SER
vices friends from Salem, N. Y, and
from Cambridgeport Mass, also some
who had but lately been called to mourn
the loss of friends. Those who knew
her know that Libbie will be greatly
missed. But while her departure is a
sore trial to her family and friends, they
must feel that 1T is well with her." and
they will treasure many sweet and
precious memories of this young girl,
who has so soon left behind the joys
and sorrows, the temptations and trials
of this mortal life for the life beyond.
To her mates we would commend the
following verses suggested by her life:
olive like the rose, 80 bud so bloom,
In growing beauty live,
So sweeten lite with the perfume
That gentle actions give.
Die like the rose, that when thOu'rt gone
Sweet, happy thoughts Of thee,
Like fragrant rose leaves may be strewn
Along thy memory" NM

REMARKABLE HISTORY.

Some remarkable history has been
written in reference to the Bennington
celebration this week. Here for instance
is the Rochester Herald saying that 1.-THE
battle of Lexington was fought August
16, 1777," though the common impress
sion around Boston and elsewhere is
that it occurred April 10, 1775, and that
it was the bennington fight which oc-
Cured August 16, 1777. Again, the
Hartford Post says:
1.-THE battle of Bennington made Bur-
goyne's surrender inevitable. Forced
back without hope of supplies upon the
main column, Col. Baum could bring no
consolation to his chief and the return
to Canada, perhaps more disastrous than
Napoleon's from Moscow, for it lost a
nation, had to be hastily undertaken. 1t
was Connecticut valor that made all this
possible"
Yet there is an abiding belief, fortified
by reliable records, that Baum was
mortally wounded in the Bennington
battle and died the next day; that the
larger part of his force was captured,
and that the notable victory was won by
raw Vermont and Massachusetts, volun-
teers and New Hampshire militia.-TrOy
Times.
The mistakes that have been made by
newspaper and magazine writers of late
III writing of the battle of BENIN gton
and of early Vermont history would
fill volume. Some of these mistakes
are made by professional historians.
John Fiske, for instance, who writes
well on the causes which led up to the
battle, and on its important results, is
very far fromIcOrrect in his details of the
battle. He brings forward blunders that
Governor Hall successfully refuted forty
years ago.
Many writer's, too, assume that the
battle of Bennington was part and par
eel of the controversy between the in
habitants of the New Hampshire Grants
and the Workers" who were attempt
ing to get possession Of their lands.
The battle of Bennington was revolu-
tionary battle, pure and simple. The
New York Tribune puts the case correct
ly when it says that the Vermont and
New York contestants for the lands of
the New Hampshire Grants dropped
their quarrel when the revolutionary
contest came to the front, and both to-
gether fought patriotically for the cause
of their country.
One reading the historical (?) accounts
with which the country is flooded just
now is tempted to use to the writer's of
them Josh Billings sage observations
You'd better not know so much, than
to know so much that amt So"

VERMONT CELEBRATING.

This is a very great day for Benning-
ton, Vt.-the greatest day (save one) in
the towns life. 1t has assembled there
all the Vermonters who could get there;
it has conferred there the thoughts and
sympathies of all the other Vermonters
whom hard necessity, in one shape or
another, has kept away; and it has
drawn thither the President of the
United States and half his Cabinet, with
Governors, Senators, Congressman,
judges and generals galore, to help Yer
mont celebrate.
What are the Vermonters celebrating?
A battle fought over a hundred years
ago, in which fewer troops were engaged
than in any one of hundred already
forgotten skirmishes of 1S61-'65, and in
which our side whipped.
That's one way of putting it. But sup
pose our side haunt whipped in that
stubborn and sanguinary little battle of
August IS, 1777? Suppose Molly Stark
had been widowed. Suppose Burgoyne's
JuIHOu OuJ UuC
ant success he and his superiors at Lon
don expected it to turn out. What would
have become of the Continental army
and of the cause of American independ-
ence?
The victory at Bennington begat the
victory at Saratoga, as the victory at
Saratoga begat the victory at Yorktown.
1t crippled Burgoyne, and passed him
along to the fate appointed for him. If
you want glimpse, across the interven-
ing century, of the incredulous bewilder-
ment and stupefaction with which Lon
don received the news of the surrender
of an entire, well-appointed English
army, read Horace Walpole's letters.
Vermont isn't so big State in acres
as Texas, or Pennsylvania, or Virginia, or
New York, or even neighbor Massachu-
setts-not to speak of the huge new COM
monwealths stretching away to the
Pacific-but she can match records for
pluck and patriotism with the very big
gest of them. Another little Yankee
State, equally fortunate in that particu-
lar, tenders Vermont to-day, through her

per, her cordial fluctuations. -HdrBord

THE REV. THOMAS ALLEN.

Rev. Solomon Clark, in his work en-
titled "The Antiquities of Northamp-
ton," Mass. says:
"Rev. Thomas Allen, native of North
ampton, Mass, graduated at Harvard
1852, studied theology with Rev. John
Hooker of Northampton, became first
minister of Pittsfeld, Mass, 1854. Al
most an unbroken wildness extended on
the east to Northampton and on the west
nearly to Albany. Forty-six years after,
he saw this wilderness dotted over with
thriving towns and villages. He was
sometimes called the Fighting paIsOn"
on account of the Battle of Bennington
and in other engagements. Once when
asked whether he actually killed any
man at Bennington, he replied that he
did not know; but that observing a
flash, "often repeated, from a certain
"bush, that was generally followed by
"the fall of one Starks men, he fred
''that way, & put the flash out"
