A. L. BOWEN of South Dorset, sends
us the call for the peoples party" State
convention at Montpelier, June Goth.
He evidently has not read the BANNER,
as we printed the particulars in the day
of them, when the convention was first
called, when it was news. Bro. Bowen
better stick to his Democracy, there is
no room for Populists in Vermont. How
ever, as he is now a subscriber to the
Semi Weekly, we will try to convince
him of the error of his political ways.
THE baccalaureate sermon by the Rev.
Chas. R. Seymour, Sunday evening, was
fine discourse. The line of thought
that knowledge is not wisdom, or, rather,
that wisdom is knowledge applied, was
grandly carried out, and if the gradual
ing class of our High school heed the
lesson, they will make their mark as
Christian men and women, as we'll as in
secular pursuits. The services were at
tended by the class, eight in number by
the members of the High school, by the
faculty, and by the scholars.
THE Bangor, Me-, Commercial of June
18th, says: mayor H. 5. Bingham, of
Bennington, is in the city to-day and
called upon Mayor Beal, who took him
through the new city building. Mayor
Bingham, who is manufacturer agent
for underwear, makes trip to Bangor
once every year, and always makes it a
point to take run up to Moosehead and
entice few of the largest trout from
their watery home. He will follow his
usual custom this year and will be joined
by party of friends tomorrow morning
and they will go up to Moosehead."
THE farmer need not be bothered with
| ,vAoloh,,oly, oooA,Ii,nr 70 lafo latf
by II. M. Arms of Springfield. He says:
Bi-Sulphite of Carbon is cure-all for
marmOts, (woodchucks). Close every
| to two tablespoons of the liquid on a
rag, and place it in the open hole, closing
the hole as soon as possible to prevent
evaporation of the liquid, and you will
have their deaths and burial complete.
A few cents and few hours time will
rid any farm of this most destructive
pest, and you, of all other farmers,
should relate it to the brethren. 1t is no
fake but does all it is asked to do, and
you can be a public benefactor by telling
the farmers of it. Bi-Sulphite of carbon
is an explosive, and mustn't visit open
| fires"
AFTER a heated term of several days,
this vicinity was visited last evening by
a terrific thunder storm. In fact the
showers were succession of storms &C
companied by vivid lightning. The first
to arrive came near stirring up things at
the depot. A. E. Ingraham, night oper-
ator, sat writing on tablet, when bolt
came down the chimney, within six feet
of where he was. The stove pipe was
knocked "galley west" the floor splint-
cred and Mr.. Ingraham received so much
of the shock that his arms were par
alyzed and the paper of the tablet torn
and scorched. But the depot sustained
the shock. Mr.. Ingraham was not seri-
ously injured, we are glad to say. Now
that our depot is burglar and lightning
proof, why not place it in some museum,
where 1T may receive proper attention?
Seriously, why should not Bennington
have a passenger station that is harmony
with the Importance of the town?
