MANCHESTER CENTRE.

Col. NJ. S. Colburn returned Saturday
from a trip through the South, Texas
and New Mexico, returning by way of
Kansas City and Chicago. While in
Chicago he visited the Worlds FAIR
grounds. He said that the work was not
nearly completed, but he thought it
would be by the first of May. "There
are Is, 900 men at work in the grounds
day and night seven days in the week, Z"
said Col. Colburn. ITO glance around
there you would not think it was posi-
BILE to get things into shape TO open the
fair May LIST, but when you come to think
of what Is, 600 men can do in 80 days you
will change your mind. Exhibits are
arriving very fast and the day / was
there 1900 cars Of exhibits were unloaded
Few of the exhibits are in place yet, but

THE BENNINGTON BANNER, FRIDAY, APRIL 4 1898.
PAwLET MOUNTAIN.

Under this heading, with the sub-head
that Revolutionary soldiers chose it as
the first place to settle," tile venerable
historian Hiel HollisteT, continues in the
Granville, N. Y. Sentinel, the reminls-
cences we copied in date issue as fol
lows: Towards the middle-southern
section of the town is a track of noun
tain slopes containing, by estimate, 3,
600 acres, which are a branch of the Ia
comic range and which flank their cele-
brated neighbors, the Green Mountains,
for hundreds of miles. The soil ON this
range was mostly set up edgeways. but
it was in its primitive state richly
clothed with timber, mostly maple and
oak. 1t was more easily brought under
cultivation than the more level land,
and then being equally productive, and
withal cheaper, was among the earlier
settlements. 1t was at first mostly EN-
braced in one school district, but now
forms part of at least five districts. We
have the names of sixteen revolutionary
soldiers who made for themselves a
home on this tract, cleared the land and
planted orchards, which thrive WELL the
remains of most of which remain to this
day, where the homestead was. The
veterans who attained the average age
of 81 years mostly remained on the land
they had restored from the domain of
nature until gathered in the various
cemeteries of the town. But few OF
their defendants remain as more inviting
fields have allured them away. This
tract, though at first equally productive,
was held at lower price, and as the
settlers all emerged from the war i'm
proverished they took up land mostly
in small farms. Game was plenty and
helped them to subsist until crops were
raised. The first Methodist class in
town was formed here, coeval with the
settlement of the town, and there was 8
preaching station in the day of Bishop
Embery, LorengO Dow and other noted
preachers of that day.
Probably more veterans of the revolu
ton settled in this town than in any
other town in the State, as we have the
names Of over eighty and no doubt there
were others. AS class they were Of
great moral and physical vigor, as theil
| longevity shows, and the current ideS
that war demOralses its participants il
not verified in their case. Fresh from
the camp and battle-fielGs, which hac
consumed their subsistence and "trieC
their souls" they developed into eIem
plary and model citizens. Though &C
customed to liquor ratiOns during mill
taIy service they did not need the re
I straints of law to govern their appetites
but were a law unto themselves. Tit
last survivor of this noble array in thi'
mountain district was Capt. James Pratt
who died in 1S45 at the age of 81 years.

in Hoosick Falls, and his loss will be par
ticularly felt by the poor of the village,
and in whose aid he spent large part of
his salary. Mr.. Silliman's resignati on
