gregate sum thus realized, has been sup
plemented by individual subscriptions,
until the amount above named has been
realized. 1t is hoped at next Memorial
Sunday that the balance will be forth
coming. 1t does seem as though it
would be distinction worth having for
the willing hearts of the people of Yer
mont TO thus build this chapel Raised
by appropriation and tax, it would be
simply be a building nothing more.
Hon. Hugh Henry of Chester, president
of the trustees, receives and acknowl-
edges all subscriptions.
The official announcement concludes:
The idea of the building of the chapel by
aid of voluntary subscriptions is unique
and on its completion Vermont will have
the pround distinction of having the first
building provided in this way. On the
strength of contributions already re-
ceived the erection of the structure is
already begun, and it is hoped to bring
the total up to s., 800, which sum at least
will be required. The generous en-
dorsement of the press of the State given
to this movement we most gratefully
acknowledge. Well knowing that with
out we could not have been successful"

village Improvement society.

The adjourned annual meeting of the
Village improvement Society, was held
on Monday, the 1lth and the old board
of officers re elected. The reports show
ed that, during the past year the Society
has expended 500, in improving the
drives through the cemetery, and in
keeping the cemetery and PARK in order.
The town allows $50 year for the care
of the cemetery, and the remaining
money was from the funds of the So
ciety. A vote of thanks was passed to
DR.. Potter, who for two summers has
given freely of his time and care to the
work in the cemetery, and who has been
the means of bringing the roads into
their present fine condition.
In addition to the above mentioned
work, we have at cost of $40 placed
drinking fountain at the corner of Main
and North streets, hydrant and hose in
Cemetery Park. and carried the village
water into the cemetery, where it can be
used for sprinklng flowers. We would
like to have our citizens walk or drive
through the grounds, and recall, if they
can, the place as it looked four years
ago, and we feel sure that they will
think with us that we have spent our
money wisely. In this connection, we
again request our citizens to give us the
charge of their lots, instead of hiring the
work done by others. For 81 a year the
Society will keep lots in order, and the
rubbish will be carried away, instead of
being thrown into the driveways, as is
now often done, to the great vexation of
our care takers.
We find ourselves, at the opening of a
new season, without one dollar in our
treasury, and with great aversion to
begging for funds which should be freely
and gladly supplied by all who love our
village, and have pride in its appear
ance.
Will not our friends help us to carry
on this seasons work, by sending dOna-
tions to our treasurer, Mrs. l.. +. Alb
bottP Any sum, from fifty cents to fifty
dollars, will be thankfully received, and
used for the good of our friends, the
public. ALMA z. VALENTINE.

A Fugitive on the MOunIaIns-The
Brand OF Cain,

Somewhere on the Green Mountains,
probably sleeping and hiding by day and
travelling by night, is Henry Mcdowell,
who killed John Crowley at Glastonbury
April 4th, it is charged, by beating in his
skull with club. Mcdowell was seen
at Dover, twenty miles as the crow flies
and forty miles by road from Benning-
ton, Thursday morning by boy who
gave to the officers an accurate descrip.
ton of the fugitive. Mcdowell made
inquiries of the boy as to the direction
in which the new naTTow-gauge railroad
lay from that point; also the direction in
which New Hampshire lay. 1t is known
that Mcdowell is trying to get either in
to New Hampshire or Massachusetts.
Since that morning no trace of Mcdowell
has come to the notice of the authorities
at Bennington. The people on the
mountains did not wake up to the
gravity of the case until too late, there.
being several opportunities to arrest
Mcdowell the first day or two after the
homicide. The section in which he is
supposed to be hiding is thickly over
grown with brush, has few roads and
cannot be reached by mail or telegraph.
From Bennington have been sent out
large number of circulars giving de-
scription of Mcdowell into Cheshire
county in New Hampshire and Franklin
county in Massachusetts,. 1t is thought
the numerous tattoo marks on the arms
and wrists will lead to his arrest. His
thumbs are deformed, caused by his
being strung up in the British navy.
Since the above was written by the
Times correspondent, our officers have
trace of Mcdowell at Troy, n. II. The
clothes he wore when he came into this
vicinity are in custody and some pa
pers, it is said, throw light upon his
identity, but these are not given out for
publication. When he said he had
killed the mate of his ship and escaped
no one believed him, but il is quite
likely that Mcdowell told the truth of
himself.

NEW YorI,s Easiest Tenm.n

The Sunday Sun of the 10th, has a
three-column account of the stables of
Henry w. Putnam and John ID. Rock
Teller. While the latter may have more
money yet our townsman, when he holds
the ribbons over "Aubinen and Lady
Wellington" is acknowledged to ride
behind the fastest team now known.
Messrs. Rockefeller, Robert Bonner and
Others take hack seat" The article
in question illustrates, besides the stable
buildings, interiors, etc., Mr.. Putnam in
the carriage so familiar to us during the
summer months, with his famous span
hitched up, and, also, Mr.. Rockfeller's
FLASH and bob Frost" the latter's
fastest pair.
The Sun gives sketch of Mr.. Put
MANS horses, in substance the same as
we published last year. His span have a
National reputation, and the Sun sagely
says that neither will be again on the
turf as long as they are owned by Mr..
Putnam, and adds: "Henry w. Putnam.
is busy man of affairs and as President
of the Brooklyn Elevated Railway has
recently had especial prominence on &C
count of legal tangles growing out of the
alleged political intrigue to GUST him
from that position. Despite his large
business interests, Mr.. Putnam finds
time for daily drive in clear weather,
and his collection of roadsters, six in
number, cannot be surpassed anywhere"

University Extension.

Mr.. Editor May l be permitted a
word with regard to the University Ex-
tension course, now in progress under
the auspices of the Y. NJ. c. A.? The
numbers in attendance and the attention
given Prof. Steiner are sufficient en-
dorsement of this experiment. The
speaker addresses himself to fully one
hundred and fifty people, many of whom
are am ng the best read of Bennington
ians. There are also in attendance boys
and girls from twelve years of age up
ward. who closely follow the speaker
from beginning to end. Two things oc-
cur to me to say with regard to these
lectures, for the benefit of those who
may not have had their attention par
ticularly called to them. The first is the
exceeding value of the course thus far.
With the personal history of the great
discoverer, the most of us may have been
tolerably familiar, but the distinct and
comprehensive account of Spanish Col
onization and Conquest had the value of
postgraduate course in that branch of
history, while the lecture on French Col
Onization was almost as graphic and
thorough. The other fact of importance
is that the remaining three lectures be-
ginning next Monday evening, cover
ground with which the Professor is, even
more familiar. Captain John Smith and
Virginia" 1.-THE Pilgrims and Puritans,"
1.-The Dutch and New York" are old
themes with him, and to us they will
come with a special relish, as from habit
of thought our preparation for them is
more complete. While, as has been said,
the audience is surprisingly large, there
is yet room, and the advantage of the
course may be had at slight cost.

In the Bellows Falls Times of March
18th, there was published a cut from a
photography, of the proposed chapel at
the Soldiers Home, in this town. The
chapel is already in process of construc-
ton. The architect, is W. G. Bull of
Bennington. The contractor, Theodore
Carpenter, has the supervision of the
business for the Eagle Square Manufac-
turing Company of South SALISBURY.
Mr.. Carpenter, says our correspondent
at that place, also, superintendent the
construction of the hospital, and the
handsome "Whitney Library" at Ches-
ter.
The seating capacity of the chapel is
1913 persons; eighteen hundred dollars
has already been raised, and an addition
al sum of 800 is needed to complete and
finish it.
The Times says: Many of the State
homes have chapel buildings built by APP
preparations of the States. Such build
ing is much needed for entertainments,
Sunday exercises and funeral occasions.
The trustees perceiying. the need Of
such building conceived the idea Of its
erection by voluntary contributions, to
stand when completed, alone of its class
in the whole land, lasting voluntary
thank offering of the people to the God
of battles, who has crowned our arms

Women's Relief Corps having circulars
sent them, took collections on Memorial
Sunday at the various churches before

citizen, the ex-soldier, the men, women
and children might testify with their
mites, that they acknowledged the Di-
vine arm that had saved our land, and
made it blsst. Some Posts attended to
the matter, many neglected it. The ag-

Gold Vermont,

A New York despatch of the 18th,
says: "a few of the New York consoli-
dated stock and petroleum exchange
men are talking of forming company
for the purpose of purchasing land on
the side of one of the mountains near
Bennington, in which gold is known to
exist. Although the promoters of the
enterprise are quite enthusiastic, some
of the experts in mining affairs are of the
opinion that the yellow metal within the
limits af the Green Mountain common
wealth is so small in quantity that it will
not be profitable for any company to get
it out. Early in the coming month of
May committee of three men, one of
whom is a member of the board Of mana
gers of the exchange, will go to Yer
mont to make a thorough investigation
of the ground. 1t will be remembered
that about two years ago there was con-
siderable excitement among the people
around Mount Anthony on account of
the statement made by certain college
professor To the effect that by boring to
a sufficient depth in the lodges both gold
and silver would be found. The matter
is eliciting great deal of discussion in
speculative circles in New York. 4

Working Roads Now is a good time
for working roads. They are dry and it
is cool weather, so that the labor neces-
sary to put them in irst-class order will
be endured with less inconvenience than
later, when hot weather comes. More
over, as commissioners were elected at
our town meeting to superintend the
work, there is no sense in waiting until
June or July as pathmasters are accus-
toned to do. We understand that the
selectmen appointed pathmasters by vir-
tue of vote taken at later stage of the
meeting, but the former vote appointing
commissioner was not reconsidered and
therefore stands in full force and effect.
