England is more widely known and re-
spected than S. w. Cummings, and no
one has done more effective service for

only be a deserved recognition of his
labors."

moved from our midst Benjamin Barber.
The funeral will be held tomorrow
Saturday, afternoon at 2 o'clock, from

The Battle Monument Association

The regular annual meeting of the
Bennington Battle Monument AssocIa-

village Wednesday. Ten members were

The FREQ Library.

The Executive Committee of the Ben
nington Free Library held most i'm
pOrtant meeting last Wednesday even
ing. In keeping with constitutional
notices, gwen three months ago by Col.
Bennett and others, the bylaws were
changed, relative to the qualifications of
voters and incidentally in regard to the
time for which tickets are valid, and
also in regard to open hours for the lii
brary, after April lst, 1892.
Heretofore all tickets, no matter when
purchashed, have expired on the 3lst
day of the following March. A ticket
purchased on the lst of April was good
tor one year, but ticket purchased at
the same price in January, was good for
only three months. The result of this
has been that few people would pur-
chase tickets except on or about the time
of the annual election. This has been
changed. Hereafter tickets may be pur-
chased at any time and all such tickets
will be good for one year from the date
of issue. 1t is hoped that this will re-
suit in a much larger sale of tickets and
an increased use of the Library. Per-
haps another matter quite as important,
found favor when superintendent Davis
suggested moving the Library down
stairs, and followed the suggestion with
a resolution that committee be APP
pointed to see what can be done in the
matter. A committee was appointed and
there seems no reason why our excellent
Library cannot be placed where it will
be conveniently accessible. The Free
Library and its reading room are too lit
tie known and too little used, and moth
ing else has done so much to render this
true as the inconvenience of reaching

DR.. Day in the Troy Times, says that
the mortuary record of our town for
1891 presents interesting facts. There
wore ninety-four deaths, ten more than
in 1890. The wet weather of the spring
months was particularly fatal to the very
young and very old, as is evidenced by
the death-rate at these extremes of life.
There were twenty deaths among chill
dren under eight years of age, but thir-
teen of these were infants under nine
months of age. There are in the list
eighteen more than seventy, eleven mole
than eighty, and four more than ninety
years of age. The sexes are divided as
follows: Males, fifty-four; females, forty.
Consumption had nine victims. heart
disease eleven, pneumonia nine. typhoid
fever ten, Brights disease six. A large
number of deaths, especially of the old,
were due to the gradual failure of the
vital powers. Excluding the deaths of
the thirteen infants from the list, the
average age of each person at death was
nearly sixty years. remarkable average,
and it is believed few towns can make
so good showing.

Bennington County Teac' ers' Institute

An institute for the teachers of Ben
nington county will be held in Benning-
ton some day in February next.
1t is quite probable that the services of
Prot. Charles I. Barnes, one of the
framed institute conductors of New
York State, will be secured. This alone
will insure to the teachers of Benning-
ton county the most interesting and
profitable institute ever held here. State
superintendent Palmer will be present
and several teachers of the county will
be upon the programme. The State re-
guireS the attendance of the teachers and
it provides that they may close their
schools aoithOut loss Of pay, to attend.
The people of North Bennington last
year generously entertained the teachers,
us Bennington did the year before and
as it is probable will be done again. Re-
duced railroad rates will be secured and
an occasion made that no teacher can
afford to lose. Programme and circulars
with full particulars will be sent to all
teachers at an early day.

Mr.. Hanford's Success in the south.
Mr.. Chas. Hanford's many friends here will
be gratitied to learn that he is meeting with
great success in the south. The Atlanta Journal
thus speaks of his performance in that city;
The audience which assembled in the Edge
wood avenue theater last night to celebrate the
opening Of the season in that house by Mr..
Charles Hanford in production of Julius
Caesar went away more than delighted. The
production from scenic standpoint was
superb. The cast a strong one and the
performance was thoroughly artistic success.
The production offered several agreeable sur
prises. In the first place, word about Mr..
Hanford. His Interpretation of the part of
Antony was both faithful and brilliant He
looked and spoke the part most successfully
At times his Evolutionary efforts arose to mag
n'fcence. In the famous Grafton over Caesar Z
body his acting was superb and elected encore
after encore.
MIR. Hanford combines a natural grace Of car
riagc, strong, clear Voice. a noble mien and q
fine intelligence that expresses itself in every
line. This is his first season a star but he is
surely making for himself an established and
brilliant reputation as an actor who belongs in
the front ranks of his profession.
