this land to enlarge their estate, but
were unsuccessful as it seems.
THE foundation for the extension
west of the Putnam House block, is
nearly done. We are told that the walls
will go up Immediately. This site was
occupied formerly by the old Stark Bank
building and the Graves & Root tin shop.
This building will be most decided i'm

THERE is to be an Odd Fellows Lodge
instituted at Manchester Depot on
Thursday evening, June 10th. The
staff of Stark Lodge of this village will
go and assist Grand Master Retting in
his work. This Lodge will make the
49th now in existence in this State, and
starts off with the promise of success.
Many of the leading men of that vicinity
are interested IN the new subordinate
and this will prove a fine starter for
the administration of Grand Master L.
j. Retting.

80 train for their home in Rutherford,
N. j. In the midst of the ceremony the
| door-bell rang and a telegram of con-
gratulations was received from Mr.. Ben

II. W. PUTNAM, jr., of New York, who
owns Birch Island, which lies just west

Wednesday. Mr.. Putnam and family
have spent the summer there for num-

up very nicely. He will build a large
cottage there this season. Burlington

CORP. VIM. E. SHELDON of Chicago on
visit East came here last Saturday ex-
pecting to remain over Memorial day
! and go home with the Vermont delega-
ton to Minneapolis, but received des-
patches during the afternoon that re-
quired his immediate departure. He
| left on the $40 train en- route for Roches
| ter and from there home, much to our
mutual disappointment. He gave the
BANNER call, and walked to one or
| two localities he remembered 45 years
| ago-one of which was the site of the
old "Union Academy" He didn't find
anything that looked liked the Benning-
| ton of memory, as we predicted.

THE Troy Times of recent date in

vened in special session at the Fifth Az
enue Presbyterian church and the reslg-
nation of Rev. ]. L. Harrington, which
had been rejected by the Church at
Brunswick, was accepted and the pastor

tried at the June term of Court begin.
ming next week. The time of the trial
has not yet been assigned on the dock

Tuesday. 1t will be remembered that
this is Stamford case, and that at the
first trial Bradley was found guilty of
murder in the second degree and SEN

prison at Windsor and began his life
work. His counsel took exceptions to
the Judges charge and the usual laws
delay ensued so that the case on the ex-
captions was not heard until the term of
the Supreme Court here in February,
1892. Bradley was brought from
Windsor, his case heard, decided for a
new trial, and he has been in Jail here
since that time awaiting the approach

to be quite an important one, and will
take two or three weeks to try. The
