SUNDAY was the warmest day thus far
this month. In the morning the sky was
overcast and good breeze was coming
from the south. About noon the sun
came through the clouds and shone dur
ing the remainder of the day with I'M
dimmed radiance, the mercury from
three to five o'clock in the afternoon
ranging in the neighborhood of eighty
five to ninety degrees in different parts
of the village.
WILLIAM TooMEY and family, Mr.. and
Mrs. D. A. Ward, j. Henry Powell of
New Haven, Conn, and Miss Lizzie
Carey spent Sunday at the Casino and at
Little Pond in Woodford. While walk
ing in the woods near the pond the party
was surprised to see, standing IN the
path not far from them, two black bears
of good size. They did not appear to be
at all frightened and after looking at the
party moment, turned and disappeared
into the woods. The pedestrians also re-
traced their steps. On their return
home, while driving down the mountain,
they saw large hedgehog by the side of
the road. This they killed. Many of
the quilts were brought home as memen-
toes of the day.
MISS MARY E. SNOW, for two years past
the teacher in No. of our Graded
schools, has resigned here to accept a po-
sition which has been offered her in the
Albany City schools. Miss Snow is a
teacher of unusual skill. She has tact,
much executive ability and a turn for
discipline, which, while it is effective to
an unusual degree in one so young, is al
ways gentle and even lovable. Miss Snow
came here with little experience but
showed much aptness in securing the
practical training for which our schools
have become widely known. Her place
here will not be able to fill. 1t is worth
noting in this connection that frequent
ly, during the past four or five years,
large cities and school systems right up
to date have come to Bennington for
teachers.
