The June term of the Bennington
county court begins at Manchester June
9th The Jury Docket has been issued

day. The State cases are down for
Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
ROAD COMMISSIONER RocKwooD is at
work upon the highways of the town,
and for the past month has been in the
north and east part. Whatever people
may say as to the new system, and we
believe it is the true one, the roads will
be repaired IN the spring and early sum
mer, which is the season to work the
highways, and this of itself would in
sure improved drives. The system in
Bennington has given good satisfaction
so far-we hear no complaints, possibly
because our people elected one of their
very best men for the position of road
commissioner.
A NUMBER of wellknown citizens have
purchased of the Ensor Remedy Co.,
of South Omaha, Neb., the exclusive
right to administer and sell the specific
remedies of the company in the state of
New York. The remedies, which are
for the radical cure of the liquor, NOR
phine and tobacco habits, have been
used for several months at the EnsOr In
stitute in Bennington, and have appar-
emily done all that has been claimed for
them. The first institute to be opened
in New York will probably be at Elmira.
The new company is composed of N. M.
Puffer, j. V. Carney, l. E. Gibson, D. E.
Moore, E. L. Nichols, E. H. Putnam, L.
f. Abbott, w. G. Bull, c. H. Dewey, j..
S. Lyman, W. II. Bradford, L. NJ. Evans
and Albert Fisk of Bennington, and Dr.

WE are under obligations to Thos.
e. Cassidy of Hoosick Falls, n. Y, for a
copy of fine series of Temperance
Tracts, published under the direction
of the Publication bureau of the Catholic
Total Abstinence Union. The Rev. A..
p. Doyle, Ais w. 59th street, New York,

This clergyman is the one whose adj
dress at Hoosick Falls lately quoted
uncomprOmising sort The titles are
successive: ''Why am [ a total alb
stainer;" ''The spirit of Father Mat
thew;" LET us save our country"
Join the Catholic total abstinence
movement" 1.-THE saloon against the
church." "The church is against the
saloon" "The Supreme Court and the
saloon;" "The drinking habit" etc.
These publications are calculated to con-
vince people of the evils of the saloon
and the drink habit.
THE hot day Tuesday moves an ex-
change to give in the record of last year
as follows: 1.-THE weather to-day is
anything but agreeable to those who are
obliged to be out, and the expression,
SIS this otenough for yOu?" is again
becoming popular. The thermometer
reached it's highest point shortly before
noon, when it registered 30. Shortly
after that it began to fall, and at o'clock
was ST. The excessive warm weather
coming at this period was wholly unex'
pectcd and few were prepared to endure
it. Yesterday the highest point shown
by the thermometer was So and on sun
day it was &c. Last year no hot weather
was experienced until May 81, when the
mercury climbed to the IS no CHI. After
! that it became cooler and remained so,
with but few warm days, until the mid
| die of June, when the temperature be-
came intensely hot and remained SO
throughout July and August"
