BENNINGTON BATTLE.

They came up at the battles sound,
Stern iTon-hearted men,
They heard it as II thrilled along
The stream.side and the glen;
The dim old mountains echoed back
That summons wild and strong.
And the far greenwood depths were
stirred
AS with triumph song.
They came, as brave men ever come
To stand, to fight, TO die,
No though OF fear was in the heart,
No quailing in the eye;
II the lip faltered, twas with prayer
Amid those gathering bands,
For the sure rife kept its poise
In strong untrembling hands.
They came up at the battle sound
To old Wallomsack height,
Behind them were their fields OF toll
With harvest promise white;
Before them those who sought to
wrest
Their hallowed birthright dear
While through their ranks went fear
lessly,
Their leaders words OF cheer.
My men, there are our freedoms foe
And shall they stand or fall?
Ye have your weapons in your hands
Ye know your duty all.
For we, this day we triumph DER
The minions OF the crown,
Or Molly Stark's a widowed one
Ere yonder sun goes down.
One thought of heaven, one thought
OF home
One thought OF hearth and shrine,
Then rock-like stood they in their
might
Before the gittering line.
A moment and each keen eye paused
The coming foe to mark.
Then downward to his barrel glanced
And strife was wild and dark.
IT'S sixty years ago, and where,
Aye where are those brave yoemau
now
The clods are heavy on the breast
And dust is on the brow.
A few still linger with dimmed eyes
And time.beached locks Of grey;
But they are passing one by one
To their deep rest away.
The triumph of that conflict hour
With them will not depart,
The memory Of that old red field
Is fresh within the heart.
Twill I've on every monGtan side,
Twill breathe in every glen,
And linger by the sepulchre
Where sleep those mighty men.
| II needs no monumental pii1
20 tell each storied name,
The fair green hills rise proudly VI
To consecrate their fame
True to its trust Waloomsack long
TIE record bright shll bear,
Who came up at the battle sound
And fought for freedom there.
Written by e. H. Chapia IN 1887

Academy" in Bennington Center.

sake of clean base ball that 1t will be
given fair consideration.

PUTNAM

Whether or not two men who made a visit to the store of Leon Bonneville in one of the residential sections of the city were real prohibition enforcement officials or irnpostors posing as such with some uIterior motive in view was a matter that was interesting Capt. Remi Delage Friday.
 MT. Bonneville says the men came to his place Thursday afternoon and asked to be served with ice cream. Having eaten this they inquired if they might inspect the refrigerator and were told that they were at liberty to do 50. Then followed more or less close inspection of the store and the arousing of a sus- picion in the mind of MT. Bonneville that they were prohibition enforcement officers.
 Ordering more ice cream and soda they engaged in conversation with the pro- prietor and eventually there was some talk about moonshine and Jamaica ginger. Beating them to it. Mir. Bonne- vile asked them if they had any moon shine to sell and they countered he says by offering to sell him real whiskey' at $11.50 per quart. Then they inquired whether he had Jamaica ginger for sals and were informed that he had not that the stuff was not carried in the stocl of the store. The strangers. large men l loitered about and talked more or les; about nrohibition contraband. but MT Bonneville says they at no time deelar ed themselves to be prohibition officials l The matter was not reported to the DO ] lice until too late to permit the officer! to interview the men.

DANIELSON

W. Irving Bullard of the committee that has in charge the matter of reii- nancing the Connecticut Mills company insofar as that may be necessary during the next few weeks has written holders in this territory of second preferred stock of the. corporation that he will be in Danielson Monday afternoon and will gladly give all information avail- able regarding the plans for the reor- ganization of the company. MT. Bullard is to be at the directors room at the Danielson Trust company.
 There is widespread interest in the af- fairs of this company in Danielson, to which it is a tremendously important in- dustry and 8 big factor in building up the prosperity of the borough and ether adjoining parts of the town of KiiliEgly during the past decade.
 Like thousands of other great indus- tries its financial condition was impair ed 1 nths postwar slump of business. A year ago he had an indebtedness of s7 .0oo. .000. but a recent statement shows that this has been reduced to s3.000, 900. Recently, too stockholders of the com pany have been informed in a statement by the committee that has had much to do with directing the conipany's affairs during the past year that it will be nec- essary to raise a s1,000, 900 as working capital by August IS, to which time the creditors agreement has been extend ed.
 Stockholders, here have been seeking advice as to just what action they should take in the situation now con- fronting them. Mir. Bullard's visit here next Monday is intended to clear ur much of the uncertainty that exists iI the minds of some stockholders as to what their course of action should be and also will afford them an opportuni- ty to obtain all information that is available relative to the companys af- fairs.
