THERE is an immense amount of build

years. A prominent builder told us the

off. Bennington has not yet felt the
financial distress we read of in the West
ern states and in some places East.

Lesion in Paralysis" and DR.. j. B.
Woodruff is assigned the subject: "How
l have used choral hydrate in my prac-
tice," to be followed by discussion.
THE condition of our streets is mat
ter of complaint. All the reply we can
make is that the digging of them up for
sewers, in some instances, leaves the
road bed in better condition than it was
found, while IN other instances the sur
face is not as good. And this must be
borne with until the sewer system is
completed and the ground has time to
settle. All in good time, gentlemen.
TIA Bennington correspondent of the
of the Burlington Free Press writes thai
paper he recently had the pleasure OF
examining curious relic which is l3l
years old. 1t was found by a farmer
ploughing in an adjoining town of New
York State. 1t is an old brass medal
1t was struck off in 1857 and was issued
by Frederick the Great to commemorate
victories over the French at Rosbacf
and the Austrlans at LISA. 1t must
have been the property of some Hessiar
who fought in the battle of Benning
ton. Many of those were killed at tina
and a number who were taker

ELI TIFFANY AND Son are to ship the
rib machines for -four set' mill, t
Buenos Ayres, South America, being the
first machinery of the kind ever shipped
from the United States to South Amer
lea. This is one of the results of reel
procity. Whatever politicians may say
as to the benefits or otherwise of thu
late Secretary Blaine's idea of reciprocal
trade with our southern neighbors, tn,
fact remains that the movement hai
served to advertise American manufac
lures, and we are glad that the de
mand for the machines made by the
Messrs. Tiffany has arisen. 1t will please
us if it shall continue.
