silver certificate.

mont school report, presented, recently,
by NJ. S. Stone, superintendent.
THE season for drowned skaters has
come around again. Look out for weak
ice. That on running streams is espec-
tally treacherous.
THE Good Templar lodges of the coun-
ty are to meet here Friday, the 14th,
inst, when County Good Templars
Union is to be organized.
SOME of our exchanges are discussing
parental advice in matrimony. AS a rule
it might be well for parents to advise
matrimonially inclined young people to
take a course just contrary to that which
they desire them to follow.

THE sale, for which the ladies of st.
Peters have been preparing, is to be
held at Odd Fellows Hall, December
10Th. This is not the annual fair, but a
Christmas sale of fancy articles, accom-
panied by one of those excellent suppers
for which Bennington ladies are famous.
BY an almost unacCountable oversight
the item of foot ball, cancelled four
weeks ago, appeared in our last issue.
The fool ball season has been subject to
so many changes that it is not strange
something of this kind should occur.
There was nothing serious in the mad
TertanCe.
OUR friends are once more asked to OBJ
serve the dates following their names on

THE advertiser who keeps his business
prominently before the people and asks
cautiously and persstently and often
for their trade, is the one who will get
the most business. The man who is
nearly as energetic will get the business
that is left, and the one who stands
around on the edge with his hands in his
pockets may very reasonably and justly
expect to get what the boy shot at."-
Exchange.
THE st. Adams Messenger, reviewing
the late legislative session, has this to
say of one of our county senator's: Sen
ator Barber is entitled to especial COM
mendation for his untiring labors in the
revision of the laws and in this common
dation his colleagues upon the judiciary
committee are also entitled to share.
Through their industry the adjournment
of the legislature at the accustomed time
was rendered possible"
In the West Randolph News we find
the following: Thursday forenoon the
members of the State Board of Agricul-
ture met at the Red Lion Inn to discuss
methods to be adopted to prevent dis
eased cattle from being shipped from
other States to Vermont. The matter of
tuberculosis was discussed, also the reg
ulations for the quarantine to be estab-
hshed for that disease. No definite &C
ton was taken. The matter will be
brought before the meeting of the board
at Burlington, next Wednesday,"
IT is now the bennington Battle Day."
anSla need of credit for the making of
theSixteenth of August legal holiday,
is due to Arthur j. Dewey, who used
his acquaintance as ex. Representative in
making known to the Solons of 1894, the
wishes of Bennington people in this par
ticular. He wrote several hundred let
tiers and the G. A. r. assisted in adyocat-
ing the patriotic measure, as we'll as our
county delegates and others. Represen-
tatlve Bingham called it up at the right
time, and hereafter Vermont will cele-
brate as State Bennington's great day.
"a NEW ENGLAND VILLAHE" is the
title of new picture by W. r. Tyler,
but any one at all familiar with Man
chester, says the Sunday Budget, will
readily locate the scene. The spire of
the village church in the distance, the
broad street fringed with naples and
elms, one of which in the immediate
foreground with its wide, spreading
branches and graceful outline, occupy
ing fully one-half of the canvass, claims
special attention, while the marble walks
and smooth road heGked with sunshine
and shadow, its neat cottages embowered
in grateful shade make up "a picture of
rest and cOntentment, typical of New
England thrift and pleasant homes.
