The Rev. Mr.. Tozer was absent from
town last Sunday, on visit to a former
parish in Central New York.
Philip Jennings and wife, who have
been spending some two months at Fair
view, returned to New York on Mondav.
Mr.. Jennings felt that his health had
been improved by the rest.
We are sorry to say Charlie Cole, who
has been sick several weeks, does not inn
prove as was hoped. Beside two physi-
clans who have been in attendance,
another from Troy is to be called in con-
sultation.
w, r. White took possession of the
Colvin grist mill Wednesday, Feb. 1st.
The mill for years occupied by III. II.
Cushman will soon be used for enlarg-
ing the stereoscope works of Henry S.
Walbridge, with new machinery.
The Kirmess, which is relieving the
people, especially the ladies and children,
of Bennington, of much of their talent,
energy and patience, is being well patron
lied by our citizens. There is much of
taste and talent displayed in the many
acts, which tells of the capability of the
place to succeed in any undertaking.
Mrs. Mary Jane COlvin gave very
pleasant dinner, ON Saturday last, the
anniversary of the marriage of her
daughter Miss Frances N. and Mr.. j.
Quackenbush, Jr.. of HoOsick, N. Y,
which was also her own birthday, Among

Mr.. Torrance and his son, who have
Tor Years been in the carrying business
on The Hudson and on the bays of the
JERSEY SSln0re, are having vacation at
present, and are spending portion of
their time with the family of Widow
Warren MatteSOn. The SON will be re-
memnered as having married, a few wears
since, Miss Carrie Stone of Bennington,
who was previously teacher in our
graded schools.
Those who are using furnaces after the
pattern gotten up by our manufacturer,
q. ). Simmons, for heating with steam,
are enthusiastic in praise of them. The
fame OF some he has placed in North
Adams attracted the attention of
Springfield, Mass, man and led him TO
bargain to have one put in there, and af-
of $l00 was made, the price was so much
below what he had expected. Verify,
Clayton is in luck.
On Monday of this week, while DIR. S.
II. Ranney was calling at the house of
Edwin Colvin, stranger girl appeared,
making claims as earnest and perhaps
with as much primG Jdcie right to patei-
nal care as any of the five BOYS and four
girls who had preceded her. At last ac
counts, after time for reelection and an
inventory of the necessaries requisite to
make the stay of the intruder a Joy and
pleasure, unanimous vote had been ac
qulesced In, to allow the little one to
round up the family to full dozen. All

In the issue of the BANNER of the goth
the editor calls attention ITO the proyi-
siOns of the new highway law" and asks |
who are to vote for the commissioner to |
eXpend the tax of the town, or that ap-
prUpriated outside the Incorporated vii |
lagos, and some other questions as to the |
details of the law. These inquiries are
pertinent, and reader of the BANNER
at my elbow suggests, that the editor OBJ
tan the needed information from our ef- |
ficient town representative, residing near
the office, who Is expected to be posted |
on the laws enacted at the last legisla- !!
ture, and publish it for the information
of its many readers.
AS Norman Sheldon was chasing |
another boy at school recess, on Monday, |
in going around the corner of the build |
ing his forehead came in contact with
the brick and the brick not giving way
the flesh was parted, producing a cash
one and one-half inches long. The |
wound was only of the flesh and he walk
ed to his uncle Smonds, when DR.. Ran
ney was called, who soon had it dressed |
so it is hoped it will heal without leav-
ing much of scar. Moral: Never run
against the corner of a brick, unless you
are perfectly sure you will hit it so
squarely as TO break it, rather than your
own head.
~ When in Bennington be sure to call at the
Banner Office for some of that Wriring paper that |
Is b ing sold for 20c pound. For paper OF its
