MISS MABEL NORTON goes to Wellesley
College Commencement next week.
PHILIP DONNELLY was taken sudden
ly i'll yesterday afternoon, but is more
comfortable to-day.
THE readers attention is called to the
advertisement of A. C Parker & Son of
Pownal, who are reliable gentlemen.
DWIGHT P. GATES has been quite seri-
ously i'll with complication of diseases,
but, we are pleased to learn, is better
SUPT. JOHN W. BENTLEY goes to Phil
adelpia, Pa, tomorrow to take a posi-
ton there. We learn that those connect
ed with the Bennington Wooden mills
have arranged to present him with a
handsome and substantial souvenir of
regard this evening.
WE understand that the authorities of
the First Baptist church are much an
nOyed by the bad habit some have of sit
ting evenings on the front steps of the
church edifice, and because of the tobac-
CO juice freely expectorated upon the
steps and about the surroundings. If
this notice is not sufficient to abate the
nuisance more vigorous efforts will be
inaugurated.
Mrs. f. b. PATTERSON, sick with
pneumonia for week or more, has lin
gered for the past twenty-four hours near
the confines of eternity her death being
hourly expected. Mrs. Patterson is the
daughter of the late Calvin Norton and
a lady enjoying the love and esteem of a
wide circle of relatives and friends. Her
death at this time seems very sad Attic
ton to her family. Besides her husband
she has little daughter aged years, and
a son one and one-half years old. Mrs.
Patterson has been an active worker in
all Christian endeavors during her life;
also, in the Eastern Star, and in these
societies, as well as in the church, she
will be sadly missed As we understand
it there is no hope of her recovery.
Ldter:-Mrs. Patterson died at noon.
MRS. JEANETTE POTTER died of
paralysis and pneumonia at HOosick, N. |
Y, Tuesday, June 9th. Her age was go
years. She has been for many years an
invalid from ParolyoiS, but tho inimo diato |
cause of death was congestion. Mrs. |
Potter was sister of DIR. II. J. Potter of |
this place. She leaves three children to
mourn her loss-Mrs. G. A. Brown of
Hoosick, N. Y, Mrs. f. NJ. Adams of |
Bennington, and II. c. Babcock of AL |
bany, N. Y, who will be remembered as
formerly prominent business man of
this place. Mrs. Potter was by the testi-
mony of all who knew her most est
mable woman, who, although an invalid,
will be greatly missed not only by her
family but by all her large
circle of friends. The funeral was held
at the home of her daughter,
Mrs. G. A. Brown in Hoosick, N. Y.

MANCHESTER, vt. June 10th, 1891.
In the case of VIM. f. LOOMS VS..
Samuel S. Smell and Dwight Taylor, the
jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff
for S613.64 and costs. Batchelder and
Barber for plaintiff; Fayette Potter, b.
Bromley and ]. X. Baker for defend
ant.
The next case was DR.. S. S. Glenn
mons VS.. Oliver Danforth. This was
SANDER case to recover for the injury
done plaintiff by defendants swearing
before the commissioners on the estate
of A. j. II. Danforth of Rupert, who was
father of the plaintiffs wife and defend
ant, that an account presented by plain
tiff against said estate was false and
fraudulent, and that that was not the
first fraudulent account the doctor had
made up, as he had made up one against
the defendant Danforth of over $40,
which the defendant had paid, and for
which the plaintiff had never made a
visit" The case was hard fought one
and is one of series that have grown
out of the family quarrel over A. j. II.
Danforth's money. The defence was
that the defendant was on the stand to
testify and that he told the truth as he
believed, and was protected in doing so.
The jury were out all of one day, and
after making inquiry as to the law and
evidence, were unable to agree. Martin
q Archibald, Batchelder & Barber and
j. e. Baker for plaintiff; J. l.. Martin
and w. b. Sheldon for defendant.
The next case was Selah Cadevett VS..
Clifford Gilmore. This is a Manchester
case from Barnumville, and involves the
| title to a strip of land q or feet wide
by 40 rods long, in an old pasture where
the land would be high at 50 per acre.
The case was closely balanced from a
legal point of view, and was fought with
just as much spirit as though there was
something substantial to fight over. The
jury returned verdict for the plaintiff
of 1911 and costs. Martin & Archibald
for plaintiff; Fowler d Son and j. G.
Baker for defendant.
The next case was Elizabeth Lugene
VS.. Reuben Colvin. This was case to re-
cover for the support of a child of the
defendant, which was kept by plaintiff,
who was sister of plaintiffs deceased
wife. There is considerable feeling
shown in the evidence, and the defence
it is expected will be that the child was
kept by the plaintiff against her father,
the defendants, wishes. This case will
occupy the remainder of the day Mar
tin & Archibald and j Il. Martin for plain
tiff; Fowler & Son, and j. X. Batchel-
der for defendant.
The grand jury came in yesterday and
reported seven true bills and ten bills not
found, and were d scharged. The term
will probably last into next week

VS.. LIVINGSTON"

Under this caption in the last issue of
the Bennington RefOrmer its editor and
reputed publisher makes a remarkable
confession. In this retraction Mr.. Liv-
ingston confesses that he is liar, that
he did not verify the statements he pub
lished in regard to STATES Attorney Bar
Der while in Office, and pleads the "Baby
act" for damages and costs His exact
words are as follows:
BARBER VS.. LIVINGSTON.
Mr.. o. NJ. Barber, while States Attor-
ney, was accused by me, in several issues
of the RefOrmer, of unprOfessional con-
duct, mal-administration and malfeas-
ance in the execution of his Office as
States Attorney. All of which accusa-
lions so made, upon investigation, prove
to be without foundation in fact. Had |
made such an investigation as | might,
and should have done, no such charges
would have ever been made. | take this
occasion to retract any and all such
charges so made against Mr.. Barber
The suits brought by Mr.. Barber against
me are to be entered settled at this term
of court upon the payment by me of $50
damages and costs. The sum of $50 was
accepted by him upon condition that this
retraction be published with equal prom
inence in the RefOrRer as that of the
publication of the untruthful charges.
j. II. LIVINGSTON.
While the RefOrmer'S criticisms of Mr..
Barbers administration as pubic
officer were made very prom-
nont in the minds of the people by reason
of the venom of attack being aimed at
an official sworn to enforce the criminal
laws of the State, yet it will be remem-
bered that they are "all one of a piece"
with the treatment other citizens have
received and are now receiving at the
hands of Livingston. Clothing himself
with the mantle of reform he stabs right
and left, aimlessly and self-confessedly |
without investigation. What more evil
dence of moral turpitude could the Re |
former furnish of its whole course?
