IN THE LOCAL FIELD.
Bennington Centre.

The Legislature, by legal enactment,
has designated the 10th of August, the
Anniversary of the Bennington Battle,
a holiday. Awarding due praise to those
instrumental in finally securing this re-
suit it seems an appropriate to recall
to memory one who was lineal descend
ant of the pioneer settler of Bennington
many of whose ancestors participated
in the battle, and were conspicuous in
the early history of the town and state,
within stones throw of the Continental
store-house, the objective point of Bur-
goyne's expedition, of the old Catamount
Tavern, where the Council of Safety
convened and the old burying ground,
where the HeSsian dead were Inferred
was born Geo. w. Robinson. BY Divine
right, he inherited a spirit of patriotism,
and veueratlon for historical events,
places and mementoS. without ostenta-
ton, at time when the sentiment of
our people and community had not been
stimulated by societies organized for re-
SGdTCn anu NllluhlOu VI CDlOLldl lllSGDl ,
he worked ass iduously to secure SOU
>venirs of the engagement, to promote a
more general knowledge of the battle
and in various ways to define the action
and to magnify its results. He was
among the first to advocate the erection
of a monument, and labored with zeal for
the contamination of this project. The
recognition by the State of the import
ance of this battle is established, and the
effect of creating this holiday, can but
inspire the sons and daughters of our
grand old commonwealth to renewed
loyalty Mr.. Robinson was ever san
guine that, eventually, this anniversary
would be recognized and observed in a
manner commensurate with the import
ance of the event. He died four years
ago this last fall. 1t may be safely SAID,
that if he were with us, this action by
the state would be considered a frution
of his prayers and hopes.

The festival to be held in the parlors
of the Congregational church on Friday
evening the Dist, is an annual entertain
ment which is looked forward to with
much pleasure. The supper, fancy table
and other attractions always assure a
large attendance.
1t is pleasant to see the carriage of
Mrs. !. Jennings in our streets, as she
rides from her pleasant home. While
she remains some of her children are
with her. and a slip in the church is
usually occupied by them.

The fair of the Ladies' Aid Society of
the Baptist church, on Friday evening
last, was very successful. The pleasant
weather permitted large gathering and
the bOuntiful supper was enjoyed by
those present. The articles which had
been furnished for sale, found ready
customers at good prices. The candy
table, of great variety made by Mrs. F.
Ranney and presided over by her in cos
tune, was eagerly patronized, and the
quantity though large was speedily dis
posed of. Besides very pleasant time
socially, the receipts netted about SIS. 90
to the treasury of the society.
Your correspondent notes that the
Norwich University graduates are ever

''He had in one of the recitation rooms a
dis play of his pupils work in vertical
penmanship, which the schools at North
Bennington adopted about six weeks ago.
The system as exhibited showed that a
remarkable change from others to that
system had taken place in those schools
for so short period. A natural uni

including the high school, was observed

Are You In It?

Mr.. Chas. B. Spahr of Columbia University. has
recently examined the records Of the Surrogates
of thirtv-fve counties in tie state of New York,
covering the last three months of 1898 and incud-
ing the counties of New York and Kings, the
richest in the State. The resul are remarka-
bic showing how few peopla leave any estate
at all and the low average values Of the estate
left.
Out of 10 900 persons over twenty-five years Of
age dying during the quarter only
1855 left estates equal to or exceeding 5000
1866 - averaging 1893
6B49 valued at 5000
Think oft! Less than 9per cent were worth
5000, end less than % per cent were worth 1892
when they died. The conclusion is that whether
915 out Of every 10000 leaves an estate of $1,000
or not depends upon whether they have life in
surance for that amount or not.
