An Interview: As the time approaches
when the President of the United States
will once more honor Bennington with
his presence, ON the occasion of memoir
ial and centennial celebration of the two
events, one of which helped so much in
making us nation, while the other few
years later introduced Vermont to her
position in the sisterhood of States, we
have noticed in the department of some
of our Democratic neighbors a degree of
uneasiness, and have observed upon their
countenances such haggard expression
as could not alone be accounted for by
this season of the year, when summer is
apt to afflict mankind with a full com
plement of its characteristic complaints.
Impressed by these external symptoms
of an inward grief, depicted on the coun-
tenance of our much esteemed ex-post-
master, and at the same time remember
ing that he had journeyed to a distant
city in order to shake hands with Dem
ocratic President, an event, he says, still
retained in his memory as being one of
the most precious experiences of his life.
we ventured to suggest that to one who
had already realized the felicity of grasp
ing in comparSanable Acknowledgement
the hand of the Chief Executive of this
great nation the approaching celebration
would indeed be rare opportunity to
enjoy the ecstacy he once realized in the
exercise of this great and distinguished
privilege. Imagine our surprise when
told that whether shaking hands with the
President impaired distress or exalted
pleasure depended entirely upon the pol
itics of that individual, and SO far as he
was concerned he did not propose to suf-
fer the chill which the touch of an oppo-
sition President would be sure to pro-
duce. There was danger that he might
never survive the shock, and he regretted
much that Democratic Executive could
not adorn the commemoration of those
historic events; but his sorrow, however,
could derive some alleviation in the hope
that in 1892 his right hand would again
experience the immortal glory of clean
"shake" with Democratic President In
answer to the inquiry who that person
might be who should be so fortunate as
tosucceed Harrison, he replied with much
sadness that among the living of his
party in the present emergency he could
think of no one fit for that high and re-
sponsible position, and as the exponent
of pure Democracy, he should recon-
mend Andrew Jackson" since an hon
est and consistent ''ghost'' is much to be
preferred to flesh and bone demagogue
whose principles vary like the wind in
"dOg days" We concluded not to press
our interview any further to the discom-
future of our friend, but went away, re-
minded, however, of the fact that it was
he who during the last presidential cam
paign went about giving public readings
on the tariff question from an old Con-
greSSiOnGi Globe printed before the war,
which he represented as the latest eman-
alton from the Democratic brain.

NEW ENGLAND WEEKLY WEATHER.
CROP BULLETIN.

Reported for the BANNER by the New England
Meteorological Society, cooperating with the
United States Signal Services.
Bulletin No. 49,
For the week ending July II, 1891.
The weather for the week Just passed
has varied much in different sections of
New England, but on the whole it has
been unfavorable for the growth of
crops and the hay and grain harvest
Less than an average amount of rain had
fallen up to the afternoon of the 7th, ex-
cept in Western Massachusetts,. At
Cheshire, Mass, two inches of rain fell
ON the 4th. In Southeastern New Eng
land the drouth is getting severe, and in
Southern New Hampshire rain is badly
needed. The correspondent at Bristol,
r. l., reports that the absence of rain is
getting serious, not only by the cutting
off of the growth, but by the low state
of the springs and brooks and the dry
ness of the pastures. The weather has
been prevailingly cloudy in the greater
part of New England, notwithstanding
the small amount of precipitation. The
temperature has been slightly below the
normal with no extreme ranges. At
Canterbury, N. H., corn was somewhat
injured by high winds on the last day of
July. Oats were not injured at Storrs,
Conn, by rains as was feared and re-
ported last week.
The hay harvest is much delayed on
account of unfavorable weather and that
which is standing now is not increasing

The Battle. Field of Bennington.

ARLINGTON, Aug. 10, 1891.
To the Editor Of the BANNER:-DEAR
SIR:-A map made by Rice and Harwood
in 1856, at my elbow, locates the battle
field where Stark met Baum on the north
side of the railroad, just west of the New
York Vermont State line If this is cor
rect, and the field is visible from the cars,
why does not the committee on the cele-
bration place some mark on the spot to
draw the attention of people who are
passing? A flag, or a post with board
across the top, similar to guide-board,
would attract the notice, and cause in
quiry which would result in greater in
terest in the coming celebration. This
could be done at once. Afterwards, with
more time, more durable monuments
could be set up. l have often sought the
spot, but never could locate the geo.
graphical features corresponding to the
maps of history. Some better informed
person might mark the place to the sat
isfaction as well as qualification of a
great many.
Trusting that you will bring this to
the notice of the public, am, yours, ETC.,

BENNINGTON:
FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST IA, 1891.
IEntered at the Bennington p @. as second-class
matter by c. A. PIERCE, Publisher.l

1t is not often that the telegraphic
news of one day contains the notices of
the death of three such noted persons as
James Russell Lowell, poet; George
Jones, editor New York Times, and Platt
Potter, jurist, which occurred Wednesday
of this week. Probably no man in our
generation has done more than Lowell
to raise American institutions and
American character in the estimation of
our English kin. His oratory was in de-
mand on scores of public occasions. Mr..
Jones was one of our foremost journal
lists of the day, and Judge Potter of New
York enjoyed a very wide reputation as
a jurist. Mr.. Jones was born in Poult-
ney and was an associate of Horace
Greeley before their subsequent career
in the Metropolis.
