templating the erection of a fine resi-
dence on the lot where now stands the

the best in town.

THE Rereile, published by the cadets
of Norwich University, edited by a board
of nine editors of whom C. W. Pierce is
chief; f. C. Bennett and II. n. MattesOn
among the associates, has reached our
table. This issue is dated October,
1891, and is No. l, Vol. XXVI of the
series. The NeCs at Mortified says:
sit is one of the best numbers ever
issued" This we consider a well-de-
served compliment, it being very
credtable piece of journalistic work aud
enterprise.
LAST Sunday the Rev. \. d. Heaxt
gave his statistical quarterly report. An
item that would strike the nearer as
singular was the fact that coming here a
perfect stranger he had been called to
of1iciate during the three months at six
funerals by people in no way connected
with his charge. The number of
families disconnected with any church,
yet who wish Christian burial when
death enters their doors is becoming
very large, and suggests that the latter is
quite Inconsistent with the former fact of
non-affiliation.
Gov. PAGE has received an acknowl-
edgement from the Boston Veterans
Association, showing its appreciation of
the reception here in August. The
Chairman writes the governor: "The
evidence of the esteem in which our AS
ISOLATION is held by you is, can assure
oou, fully reciprocated by us, and we
shall ever hold in grateful remembrance
the delightful trip to our dear old native
State, and the extremely successful visit
in Bennington, made all the more en-
joyable by reason of your kindness and
thoughtfulness."
RUTLAND Herald: "The Bennington
Centennial cost the State S13, 0O0." And
it was dirt cheap at the price too, we
had half that amount of fun ourselves
and McGuirk, of the Herald the other
half, to say nothing about the chief of
staff, Forbes, Gates, ct dl.-BWIington
Independent. Bother Dodge knows
how it was himself. The BANNER staff
Sympdtbize with all that Editor Dodge
says, and also congratulate Bro. Gates
on his entrance into the State of matri-
mony. 1t will be Col. Forbes's turn
next. We all expect invit tons to that
happy event, when it shall occur.
SUPT. BENNETT of the b. E. r. visited
his old home in Middlebury three days
last week. The farm having been owned
by member of the family, there is lit
tie change in the homestead since the
Colonies boyhood days. His father was
remarkable man even when counted
among the pioneers of our State. After
the Revolution Gn which he doubtless
participated), the elder Bennett took up
and cleared a tract of land in Massa.
