THE LIBERTY BELL.

One of the features proposed for the
Worlds Fair is a columbian Liberty
Bell" to be modelled after the old Lib
erty bell in Independence Hall, Phlla-
delphia. The idea originated with
William o. Mcdowell, of Newark, N. D..
and the responsibility of its production
and the direction of its use have been
placed in the hands of a committee COM
posed chiefly of women representing
each State and Territory in the United
States. In the production of the bell,
it is particularly desired that the largest
number of persons possible shall have
part in it. At the same time the bell is
produced it is proposed to manufacture
out of swords and war materials con-
tributed for that purpose plough and
pruning hooks, that they may accompany
the bell.
Contributions of two kinds are de-
sired. First, material that can be made
part of either the bell or plough; and,
second, money with which to pay for the
bell. The members of the Society of
the Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton are asked to contribute one cent
each to be fused into the bell, and %
cents each to pay for its making. Each
member is also asked to collect 81 from
others, IN pennies III pOsSlOle, anu W
send with the amount the name of each
contributor. Contributions of money
are to be sent to the Liberty National
Bank, of New York. The Clinton IL.
Meneely Bell Company of Troy, N. Y,
has volunteered to manufacture the bell
the estimated cost of which is $4,000. If
the material and money contributed
warrant it, a duplicate bell will be made,
so that If an accident should happen to
the original, the duplicate could at once
take its place. The committee will also
present to each school, church, society,
family or other organization whose con-
tributions shall amount to at least $40 a
pell Of suitable size for school or family
use, made of the same material as the
Columbian bell. On the bell will be in
scribed the following: proclaim lib
erty throughout all the land, to all the
inhabitants thereof" and "Glory to God
in the highest; peace on earth, good will
toward men,"
1t is proposed to have the bell com
pleted and at Chicago on the day OF the

OPINION. VILLAGE SEWERS.

To THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE
VILLAGE OF BENNINGToN-I have been
requested by Mr.. Mason, former Corpor
alton Attorney, to prepare for your
board legal opinion upon the following
list. Upon the validity and effect of
the vote of the village passed March 9th,
1873 authorizing and directing the trus-
tees to construct public sewer on the
McClintock plan, and to close contract
for the construction of the same with the
lowest bidder recommended by the com
mittee.
2nd. AS to the effect of the vote of
the corporation at its meeting held on
the Goth day of March last, resembling
the vote of the meeting March 9th.
Upon these questions l would respect
fully submit the following:
L. The village of Bennington is au-
thorized and empowered to construct
public sewer for the village under and
by virtue of Act No. 1l6 of the Laws of
1892. That part of the act which confers
the power is contained in parts of sec
lions and of said act and reads as
follows:
"Sec. 1. The village of Bennington is

through the land of individuals and cor
porations in said village"
"Sec. 3. When authorized by vote as
aforesaid the trustees of said village
shall lay out, construct and establish by

So much of said sections above quoted
constitute the enabling part of tee act
On the 9th day of March 1898 the viii
! lage held ameeting anu passed the fol
lowing votes and resolutions.
''1st. Voted to accept the report of the

This article, which is a reprint of the
circular issued by the Daughters of the
American Revolution was laid before
the G.. A. R., by the writer, at their
campfire last Saturday evening. We
learn from Mrs. L. S. Norton, who is re-
ferred to in another place in connection
with the Daughters" that others are
getting together articles to send from
historic Bennington. Mr.. Geo. A. Rob
insen of Bennington Centre, has already
forwarded several invaluable relics as is
instanced by the subjoined extract from
his letter accompanying the contribu
tions, as follows: 81 send by express a
piece of Col. Baum's sword, wrought
nail from the front door of the "Cata-
mount Tavern" and brass button from
British "Red Coat" all to be melted
into the bell, in memory of the late Geo.
w. Robinson" This was forwarded
April 18th, and it is safe to say that no
more valuable material, nor more histor-
ic memorial will find a place in this
unique Independence Bell" Among
the treasures to enter into its compost
of Governor Gordon, has sent a spoon
belonging to John T. Calhoun; the
daughter of Lucretia Mott has sent a
fruit knife; Robert Lincoln, minister to
England, promises link from the chain

been received. Mrs. Governor Prince of
New Mexico, gave copper kettle beat
out of native copper by the Indians, long
before the discovery of America and al
so piece of native silver ore, mined by
herself $50 feet Under ground. Idaho
asked the privilege, of making the bell
entirely of native silver and upon this
being refused promised silver from every
mine in the state All these articles
with the thousands more which are ex-
pected will be melted into the bell.

Cunning BY Postal.

There is a very general impression
among merchants aud others who are
particularly interested in the subject
that it is a criminal offense under United
States laws to mail a dunning letter
written on a postal card. A person in
this neighborhood says the Ithica News,
wrote TO the first assistant postmaster
general asking for information, and re-
ceived a reply giving the decision of
Judge Thayer, December 18th, 1889,
OF the wording of a postal card hat
was mailable and one that was not.
The mailable one reads: please call
and settle accoun which Is long past
due, and for which our collector has
called several times, and oblige." The
unavailable one reads: "You owe me
n dollar and eighty cents. We have
called several times for same. If not
paid at once We shall place it with law
agency for collection" The last SEN
tence, it is stated, ruled out this COM
munication. Postal cards arc not mail
able if they contain language Of a threat
ening character, and it is a very serious
threat to average. man to tell him that
you are going to sue him. There is no
law, however, to prevent you from put
ting an X on your card to let your debt
or understand hat you are really cross
with him.

COMPARING Colorado with Neb-
raska, a Denver paper remarks:
"There is no coal in Nebraska.
There is also no iron, lead. copper,
silver OF gold, and no oil. Yet the
people Of Nebraska think that life
is worth living and they believe
that their state has a great future
before it." The remark is a timely
one and serves to emphasize the
fact that, after all, agricultural in
dustry is the most prosperous, the
most certain and the most import
ant In the country.

For the information Of those
whom it may concern Commander
in-Chief Weisert of the Grand
Army of the Republic wishes it IN
derstood that he never was a gen.
eral in the army, never was a gen
eral in the militia, and that his pre-
sent position gives him no such
title. His active rank when muster
ed out of the volunteer service ON
account Of disability from wounds
was sergeant major. As that is
not a convenient title to handle, if
those who address the commander
will either so nominate him or Law
aside all titles, the consideration
will doubtless be appreciated.
Commander Weisert was too good
a soldier to masquerade at this
distance from the wal with a rank
whose insignia he never wore.
