Real estate brings considerably more
money than it did in Bennington a few
years since.
REAL estate seems to be quite active
here, and many are quietly buying it up
to hold as an investment. This is true
of several purchases lately noted of the
Messrs. Putnam. The latest to do this
is Capt, Walker and his son-in-law, the
Rev. VIM. Bogert Walker, who purchased
the "Chandler' property on Main street
this week, paying $1,000 for it,

another column. This dwelling is fitted
up with steam and waterfall modern
mprovements-and will not remain I'M
sold long. Mr.. Carpenter and wife are
considering the proposal to pass their
winters in warmer climate, perhaps in

ever remove permanently from Benning-
ton.
THE change Of time on the Fltchburg

week, is noted on our outside pages to
day. The changes from the summer

land way, leaves at $50 instead of o. a.
M; 2.05 instead of 1.55 p. M; arrive at
s. a. m. and $40 p. M. The evening
train north leaves at 6.10 p. M, and the
morning run at Cos instead of 5.55, as of
late. There is also a short train to
Petersburgh Junction, over the Lebanon
Springs railroad, to connect with the
Boston p. m. train out of Troy.
LAST Monday the Lebanon Springs rail
road practically resumed their improved
train service of the summer, which had
been interrupted two and half months
by the freshet of Aug. 9th. The trains
in and ont of Bennington for Chatham
are as follows: 500 a. M, 5.45 p. m. !;
arrive from Chatham at 1l.35 a. m. and
Cos p. m. Boston connections are made
on the $40 a. m. train, and the one a.
irving at Cos, leaves Boston at II. 80 a. m.
In addition, the short train leaving here
| at $50 p. M, takes out passengers for
Boston and brings in Troy passengers
leaving that city at 3 p. m. For details
as to way stations, see time cards. The
Troy Times says: The Lebanon Springs
railroad has built temporary trestle
across the washout near the double
crossing in Petersburgh, so that the first
through train since the flood of several
months ago, ran over the road Tuesday.
During the suspension of through traffic,
pending the building of the trestle, pas
sengers were transferred by stage at the
scene of the washout."
