officer, with instructions to be given ap-
pertaining to his duties, was on motion
dismissed. The reports of the trustees,
treasurer and auditors were read and
adopted, from which it was learned that
the village is over one thousand dollars
IN debt. The result of the ballot for
village officers was as follows: Clerk, c..
d. Phillips; Trustees, E. D. yelling, w.
E. Simonds, P. H. Mccarthy, G. d.
Mattison and J. H. Watson; Treasurer,
S. B. Hall; Collector, p. II. Mccarthy ;
Auditors, W. G. Shaw, G. F. Houghton
and H. G. Simmons. The collector re-
ported, of the over nine hundred dollars
of tax during the last year, only $3.50
was uncollected, and of the So. 40 which
remained over last year it had been col
lected and paid into the treasury. With
the present board of officers it may be
expected the interests of our village will
not suffer.

OBITUARY.
Mrs. May s. Valentine Perkins.

The many friends of Mrs. Perkins, the
eldest daughter of Major A. B. Valen-
tine, will be panied to hear of her de-
cease. She passed peacefully to rest
last evening after serious illness of sew
eral months; which had. however, been
preceded by more or less ill health dur
ing quite a protracted period. Besides
her husband, Mr.. A. y. Perkins, she
leaves three bright children, the eldest
in his eighth year. Mrs. Perkins was a
woman of many accomplishments, and
possessed the graces of Christian char
acter to an eminent degree. This mes
sage to her meant simply transfer
renee from this life to that of a better.
We are sure that the regrets she may
have felt because of separation from her
family and little ones, must have been
changed to perfect trust by the faith
that enabled her to look the future in
the face, and that with joy rather than
sadness. Mrs. Perkins was educated in
the schools of this town and was the
first graduate of the Graded school,
in 1876. She took high rank and pos
sessed literary talent to an uncommon
degree. Many of our readers will recall
the essay of hers we once published with
the odd title of Grandmother Teaket-
tle,' by which she entertained large
audience for 20 minutes. After gradua-
ton here Mrs. Perkins studied art for a
year in New York at the Cooper Insti-
tute. and supplemented this by studies
in Boston, so that she became well
versed in this branch of learning. In
this department she was as thorough as
she had been in others, and probably
was one of the finest art students our
town and state has produced. She was
leader in everything she undertook. In
the Second Congregational church, of
which she had for years been a devout
member, she will be sorely missed.
Especially in the societies connected
herewith; the Kings Daughters; the
FOrtnightly club, etc. The Fortnightly
has adjourned its regular meeting on &C
count of her decease, as noted elsewhere.
Mrs. Perkins was a very fine Snaks-
peare scholar and her Interpretation of
that poet with her sympathetic voice,
has been to many in social circles per-
feet revelation, while to all it was an in
struction. By way of "Reminiscences our
local readers will recall the 'nine' girls
who grew up to womalhood together
here. Mrs. Perkins was the first one of
the nine to be married and is the third
one to pass to the better life. She was
married to Mr.. Perkins, September 4th,
1888. THE BANNER wishes to extend a
word OF possible sympathy to the circle
ofIbereaved ones, to the homes made DIES.
olate by the call to higher life of this
fond mother. May they all be sustained
by the Everlasting Arms. The funeral
will be held from the residence of Major
Valentine tomorrow afternoon at 3
o'clock.

The Troy Y. w. A.

The formal opening of the beautiful
new Home for Young Women, in Troy,
Tuesday evening, was joyful occasion.
Over one thousand invitations were
issued and most of them were accepted:
The preliminary exercises were, prayer
and short addresses by Rev. L. A.
Snively; scripture lesson read by Rev.
DIR. HALEY; then letter was read from
Mr.. S.. b. Sanford, treasurer of the build
ing fund, in which he eloquently re-
counted the efforts made and the
triumphs achieved, and his glowing
hopes for the future of the Association,
especially while in charge of such ladies
as Mrs. Chas. L. Patterson, President,
and her able colleagues. This was fol-
lowed by an address by Geo. b. Cluett,
Esq, President of the building fund, and
the benediction by the Rev. John
Walsh of st. Peters, r. G. church, and
the singing of the doxology, accom-
panied by Doring's orchestra.
The building is one of the most COM
plete and best appointed institutions in
the country. 1t was erected and fur
nished at cost of $4,000, and is free
from debt. There are homelike accom-
modations for fifty young women.
There are kitchen, sleeping rooms, bath
rooms, libraries, parlOrs, reception
rooms, lecture and music room, dining
room, and restaurant, where meals will
be furnished to the inmates at actual
cost. If there was ever heaven born be-
nevolence, it has been manifested in this
institution.

THE Board of Trade" James H.
Livingston, secretary, has concluded to
disband, and sell the effects. The rooms
and furniture will probably be utilized
for the village clerks Office as noted by
resolution in our report of the ann ual
village meeting. A number of gentle
men met a few evenings ago, voted to
disband and sell the effects, appointing a
committee for that purpose. This
"Board of Trade has been a sort of
Livingston appendage, to float him in
his schemes and has resulted just about
as the BANNER predicted. 1t is possible
to sustain a Board of Trade here, we
think, but it should be put forth under
a name that stands as representative of
the business men of the town. The old
organization was in no sense representa-
tive of Bennington, and the experience
will not be repeated.
THE second annual prize contest in

For some time people driving on our
streets have appeared to think that pc
destrians should keep out of the way of
teams, when the law is just the oppo.
site. The writer has frequently been OBJ
liged to spring forward or backward to
avoid being run down by teams, driven
fast, or take the consequences. Yester-
day Hon. II. G. Roots driver, Damasa
la Flame did not 'hold up" and so ran
over A. w. HarwOod as the latter was
crossing Main street from North to the
postoffice. Fortunately Mr.. HARDWOOD
was not seriously injured, but no thanks
to the man who did not slacken his pace
when driving across a street crossing
with people on foot passing. AS the
police do not appear to know of any care
less driving in town il people would take
it up the nuisance could be stopped. In
the case of ladies, children or aged peo-
pie it is not always possible to jump and
hence someone will occasionally be run
down as was Mr.. Harwood.
