v.rmont,. cent.nn,.,.

Bennington is looking forward to a
gigantic celebration next summer. The
act of the legislature providing for a
celebration of the hundredth anniversary
of the admission of Vermont into the
Union, and for the dedication of the
Bennington battle monument, Aug. 10,
1891, makes the governor, with the lieu
tenant governor, speaker of the house,
state treasurer and secretary of state, a
committee of five, who shall make the
necessary arrangements and have gen.
eral charge and management of the cere-
monies attending the dedication of the
monument and the centennial celebra-
ton.
The committee shall invite in the
name of the state of Vermont the ma
tional government and the states OF
New Hampshire and Massachusetts tc
unite with Vermont in the dedication
and celebration. Furthermore, the com.
mittee shall issue in the name of the
state all invitations to invited guests,
and shall call the annual encampment
of the National Guard of Vermont II
is discretionary with these officials what
amount of money to spend. The re
sponsibiity of the celebrations Is on the
state and not the battle association mol
the people of Bennington.
The battle of Bennington was fought
Aug. IS, 1777, but as Aug. 16 next veal
will fall on Sunday it was deemed best
to have the celebrations in the middle
of the week for the convenience o1
those who may come from distance
and for this reason Wednesday, Aug. 10
was designated by the legislature. Bur

The Lamb Tree.

Joannes Zahn in 1896 first gave the
world information as to this valuable
plant. The planta tartarica bowmetz,
according to Mr.. Zahn, grows in Tartary
like any other plant, and when it gets
ripe lamb forms on the top of the
flower stalk. After while the stalk
bends over and the lamb grazes till all
the grass in the vicinity is cropped off or
the stem is severed. Then it dies.
Wolves are said to be quite fond of this
vegetable mutton.-Joh ohm Ashton in Curl

General Herbert, he will inspect the deienccs q,

Yard at E'quimaut lie will remain at Victoria untu
the United States have given their ultimatum with
regard to the Behrng Sea question. When asked
what he thought Of the outlook and the possibility Al

Canada and the United States be said: i would non
be surprised to find Great Britain and the United
States at war before the year is ont The British
Government have been remaining quiet i'm view Of the
possibility of the Liberal party I'm Canada getting into
power, through whom Lord salisbury believed a mora
satisfactory settlement Of matters OF dispute could have

In CONCLUSION he said that the activity about tho
