SHOT GUN
EXPLODED
Young Man Wants To Hear Some
Noise.

Lass" Porter "colored gemen"
employed by Jared Howard suffered
an unfortunate accident Sunday.
Instead of going to Childrens Day
services, he took a double barreled
shot gun, went out back of the barn,
and proceeded to load it. He said
that he believed he would enjoy the
noise it made when he fired it Off.
He put in heavy charge of powder
etc, as he found to his sorrow When
it was discharged the barrel went one
way and was found about 90 feet away
from where Porter stood, the recoil
threw him about 10 feet, the flashing
of the powder, went into his eyes, one
of them is so badly burned that it is
feared he will lose the sight. Up to
this morning he had received no treat
ment as he declared that he would not
have any until his eye got better or
worse

SCORE WAS II to d.

The Bennington base ball team de-
feated the North Pownal team Satur-
day by score of II to in contest
too one sided to be interesting.
Not once did the visitors look dan
gerous, and they should have been
shut out as they were outplayedSat
every point.
Austin recognizing the fact that he
had cinch, eased up on his pitching
for three innings, commencing with
the fifth. AS a result Curry landed n
first with a hit, took second on a pas
ball and crossed the rubber, scoring
Pownal's first run on Tatro's drive be-
tween Adams and Keller, which was
too hot to handle.
In the seventh Moon and Curry each
touched him up for a double. Tatro
and Observation-Disclosures with two clean
hits which netted three more runs, but
the honor of these few hits was all
there was in it for the visitors,
while the home team took great
pleasure in pounding Moons curves
all over the field, especially in the
eighth inning when they punched nine
hits, adding eleven runs to their score
of six.
The Bennington team as a whole
played good game and again DEM
onstrated the fact that it is made up of
good finishers with the willow. Welch
with four hits to his credit leads in
batting. Higgins easily carried of
the fielding honors, while Keller at
second is certainly prize, increasing
in value with every game.
The score was as follows.

ATTEMPTED
SUICIDE
Bella Bernstein Swallows
CarboIiC Acid.
CONDITION IS SERIOUS
Is the I5-Year-OId Daughter Of
J. Bernstein Who Resides on
North Street.
CONDITION IS SERIOUS

Bella Bernstein, Is years of age,
attempted suicide this afternoon by
taking carbolic acid.
She was the Oldest of five children
Of j. Bernstein. one of the most pre-
possessing girls in the village and a
universal favorite.
The cause of her attempt was family
trouble. Her mother died few years
ago and soon after her father married
again. The step-mother and Bella
did not get along we'll together and
there has been continual friction ever
since. Quarrels have been frequent,
and not long ago the girl remarked
that before many days, she would make
way with herself.
Last week she went to Gokay's drug
store and purchased five cents worth
of carbolic acid, saying that she want
ed to use it on beds. She secured it
without any difficulty as she was we'll
known.
Sunday night with Eva Brown, a
particular friend, and the latters
married sister, all went out with
friends. The girl did not reach home
until late, and when she did her father
seolded her. This morning he
repremanded her slightly before she
left for school. After her return home
she wentto her room and took the
poison.
One of the other children was sent up
to take some clothes and came rushing
down saying that Bella wanted her pa
pa quick-that she was sick. Hurry
ing up to her bedside he found her
writhing in agony, froth issuing from
her mouth, She barely had conscious
ness to tell what she had done and be-
came unconscious. Physicians were
summoned as soon as possible.
AS the Banner goes to press the girl
is living, and holding her own, but
the physicians say that it is very
doubtful what the result will be.

NEW HISTORY
OF VERTONT
School History That Ought To Be
Generally Introduced.

vermont for young Vermonters" is
the title of a new school history of
Vermont just published by D. Apple
ton & CO., of New York.
The history is the work of Miss Mi
riam l. Kimball, teacher of English in
Montpelier Seminary and known a.
one of the brightest women and most
competent teachers in the state.
Miss Kimball has devoted several
years to the examination of authorities
and the collection of matter for her
history and careful perusal of the
work shows that she has been most
thorough and painstaking.
The book is not only the best school
history of Vermont published but is in
fact the only one ever printed suitable
foruse in the class room. 1t ought to be
in use in every school house in Yer
mont and it will be criminal neglect on
the part of school directors and school
authorities If it does not come at once
into general use as a text book.
For convenience of study Miss Kim
ball divides the history of the state in
to nine distinct periods.
First, the period previous to explora-
tion when the state was known and oc-
cupied solely by the aborigines. This
period dates from the earliest times
down to 1856.
The second period is the time of the
French and Indian wars from 1856 to
1860 when the French gave up Canada
to the English.
The third period covers the granting
of the townships and the general set
tlement of the state, from 1760 to the
outbreak of the Revolution. This is
also the period of the conflict of au-
thority with New York.
The next period is that of the Revo-
lutionary War when Veamont not only
maintained her independence from the
mother country but also set up an in
dependent government and held her
own against her covetous and en-
croaching neighbors.
Then comes the period of Vermont's
rapid development; her admission to
the union; the war of 1872, in which
she bore honorable part; the years of
prosperity down to the war of the Re-
bellion; the states part in that historic
struggle; and finally the period since
lasting to the present hour when the
new Vermont is so steadily becoming
an accomplished fact.
Miss Kimball has covered each pc.
riod concisely and yet with detail suf-
ficient to give her students clear un-
derstanding of the subject without
befogging her points with unnecessary
verbiage.
The work is highly valuable and
creditable and deserves the many good
words which have been said in it's favor
by all who have examined it.
