Tiirouoh the advertisemont in our columns, recently, for a relic of tho Rev olution, the knowledRo is reyived that Clark Stono of Shaftsbury, had an an cestor in tho Battlo of Bennington, and that a gun in tho hands of Job Leonard, killiug a Hcssian, is presorvcd iu tho Stono familj-. Col. Job Leonard, a great-grandfathcr of tho writcr, was tho otlicer who siezed this gun from tho hands of its mortally woundcd owner, and shot tho Hessian, probably saving tho 11 fe of General Stark. Leonard was a capital shot, and brought off tho fteld tho "Queen's Arm" carried by tho Hcs sian. It rcmained in tho family many years, but was flnally lost. Raii.roai) pco)lo claim that both in coming and outgoing froights aro untisu ally lnrgo for this timo of tho year. Dur ing tho four days entlingThursday, sixty ono car loads of freight for this villago wero recoivod at tho freight depot herc. During tho samo timo thirty-two loaded cars wcrc scnt out. Tho avorago num bcr of cases shipped from tho various mills in that timo has been cight from each ono. All tho mills aro working on full timo oxccpt one, and carpenters onough cannot bo found to do the work necdeil. Thus far this scasou ovcr 5,000 barrols of apples havo been shipped from this station by freight. Aoain have tho citizens of Bennington domnnstrated tlt.it homo talent, and a popular cause, calls forth thoirhoarty co opcratiou. With but ono or two cxcep tions since tho oponing of tho Opera Houso, has a laiger audienco assembled than was present to liston to tho musical drama of "Esther."

TnE flnes oollocted from tho liquor doalors at tho County Court at Rutland, last weok, amounts to $10,137. One of tho woret tricks of tho blcycle is to throw its rider in tho mud on ac count of slipping of tho rubbor tiro. The Contral Vermont railroad has so cured a contract for carrying 100,000 bar rols of sugar from Now York to Chicago. This will icquiro tho uso of 1,400 cars, IIudson has put in a fino "hot soda ap paratus," and it is largely patronized. By tho way his candies aro unoxcclled anywhoro, being largely his own manu facture.

When tho Insano Asylum bill, appro priating $150,000, was considered in tho Scnato Tucsday, Sonator Gibson offcred an amondment, which was adoptcd, pro vidimg for tho paymont of tho apprpria tion in sums of $50,000 every two years. This it much botter than tho "lump sum" proposed. Bi.acic diphthcria is a disoaso that is raging in somo localitio in tho west. Ono caso in Andcrson, lnd., is cspecia'liy distrcssing, that of Martin I. Watson, who last Monday buriod tho last of his wholo family of (lvo, including his wife, all of whom woro in good hcalth a aionth ago. About half of tho cascs in that town havo provod fatal. At tho flrst joint Y. M. C. A. Conven tion of Vermont and Now Hampshire, held at Keeno to-day and to-morrow, C. J. Hoyt of thiB yillago is ono of the speakers. Among tho others who will spcak aro: R. E. Gilkey, of Dover, B. W. Gilietta, of Manchester, Dr. Geo. E. Val lado, of Dover, W. J. Van Patlen. of Burlington, C. J. Page, of Concord, and B. C. Austin, of Brattleboro. The Now York Constitution dobars all pcraons "elected or appoiated to a pub lic offlco undcr tho laws of the S'ate" from recelving railroad passesj or dead head telcgraph favors. This will save lts of monoy for the railroad companies, but how it will dimiuish railroad travel in and out of Albany during tho sessisn of tho Lesislaturo! We notico that tho Governor has ro appointed Judge Darling of our Munici pal Court, and, also, that tho Suprcme Court Judges havo dcsignated him as ono of tho bar examincrs for tho ensuing term.

The custom of ringing tho curfow bell has been adopted in thirty small towns of Ontarla, and in tho city of Kingston. It is rcaommcnded by certuin bcnovolent and philanthropic sociotics as a warniog to children under a ccrtain ago that thc shadows of night aro doopening and thoy had botter scek thoshcltcr of liomo. Tho Word coraes from two words signifying "covcr" and "fire," and tho custom was instituted by William tho Conqueror, as a signal to tho people to covor fires, ex tinguish lights, and rctiro to rcst. Zxchariah McCavi.ey of Graniteville was arrestcd last Friday night by United States Marshat Uarris, and put in jail at Montpelier for sclling liquor wUhotit a United States rovonue stntnp.

Speoial Treas ury Agent Taylor of Albany, workcd up tho caso against Hopkins. Tiii St. Johnsbury Republican was sold at auction Monday, by tho rcceivor and was purchased by L. 1'. Tliayor, lato of tho West Randolph Herald and News. Tho Argus 6ays: "Tho Republican has been a good nowspaper proporty, asido from tho disastrous oxpericnco in pub lishing a daily undcr tho direction of Managor Waltor. Mr. Thayer ha had a long and varicd cxperiouce in nowspajor business and has been romarkably suc ccsiful in his vontures. Ho will mako tho Republican a bright and rcadablo paper, satisfactory to its readers, aud tho pcoplo of St, Johnsbury will havo no reason to regret tho chango of owner ship." We notico that Reprcseutativo Bing ham thinks that tho "wcekly'paymcnt" bill is not called for, At the reccnt hcaring Senator Allon, who introducod the bill, thought mcn should not bo obligcd to wait until tho month was up beforo thoy got thoir pay. In fact ho thought daily payments was botter than woekly. Outsido of railroad corpora tions tho roli would bo small. On tho othcr haud it was shown, that in many places tho men themsclvcs requested that their wages remain until tho cnd ot tho month, when wcekly pay rolls provail. Thero secms to bo a wido diffcrcnco of opiuion on this subjcct. A STUl'lD scntcnco in tho roport of tho Church Congress at Boston, has carried tho impression to somo that Bishop Hall has been rccalled to England. It is hardly necessary to contradict so absurd a rcport. In tho first placo, Bishop Hall cannot bo rocallcd, for thero is no powcr to recall him. Ho is an American citi zon, and an American clorgyman. Ho cannot bo recallcd by tho St. Johu's Brotherhood, for ho is uo longer a mcm bur of the Brotherhood. Bishop Hall is horo to stay. Tlioro is no raoro patrlotio American than ho. Montpelier Jottrnal. Would it not bo a good idea to assign to such catherlngs roportors who know tho diffcrcnco botwcon a Bishop's mitro and an Acodemio hood? ' Jas. Paddock and E. A. Bakor advor tiso a "turkey shoot" for noxt Wednos day, Nov. 28th, "On tho dosort," a local ity up near Hecch street, commencing at 9 a. m. Thoro aro two rangcs, and ex port marksmon can got a "blrd" for tho following day, no doubt. Work on tho addition that is to bo built to tho machiuo shop of Cliarles Coopor is being pushcd as fast as possi siblo. It will bo 75 fcot long, 14 feot wido and two stories and attio high, and whon completed will givo room for tho employment of quito a numbcr moro men. Tho extension is mado necessary principally by tho domand for tho nowly patcnted rib-knitting tnachino, for which tlioro is alrcady qulto a domand. An ad dition is also being mado to tho mill of tho Coopor Manufacturing Company, on East Main street. This will bo 118x32 feet, threo stories high. Tho Company will put in tho new machlncs as fast as possiblc, doing away with thoso now in uso. Mr. Coopor and Foroman Hurloy havo recently been away purchasing now machinery for tho machino shop. Wiiat is oescribcd as a "livoly dis cussion," was an incident of tho passago of tho Freo toxt book bill in tho Houso. Tho Argus quotes a fow choico oxpres sions in tho dobato, for instaneo, "thrib blo," "I motion this bill lay," "thoro wasn'tnono." A motion to dismiss tho bill was vociforously "swatted." It was suggestod that tho bill had been so omas culated it ought to bo put out of its misory. The gcntloman who was tho promotor of the Graded school ropoal bill was vcry much in evidcnco on tho bill; ho is vcry much interested thoroin. After tho reading had procccdcd about half an hour, a momber suggested ho couldn't flnd tho placo. IIo admitted ho had been "following tho wrong bill." Mr. Spcaker put him on tho track again and many other mombcrs who wero also "off their trolley'' caught on at tho samc timo. Tiie Legislaturo has authorized tho publication of Gilman's Bibliography, which is a comploto and thorough refor euoo to all tho books and pamphlctspub lishcd in Vermont or by or about Vor montcrs, and no doubt tho work will bo eagorly sought after, as it will bo vcry valuable for many reasons. Tho work, as far as complnted at that timo, was publishcd in tho Argus and Patriot in 1870-80, whcn sovcral cotumns a week for many tnonths wero dovotcd to it. Its publication aroused great interest all ovcr tho country and even across tho watcr, whero several copies of tho pa per containing it wero sent. Additions havo beon mado to tho work up to 18S9, says that paper, and tho hcirs ot Mr. Gil man havo prcsented tho cntiro work to tho State, bolieving that it is worthy of preservation and that it should bo aeccs siblo to all. The matorial for tho lecturo by Rov. Dr. MacArthur, to be dclivered Tuesday ovening, Nov. 27th, in tho Baptist church, was not gathcred from books, but by personal observation. During his trip through Russia, ho camo in contact with every phaso of lifo and studicd character so tlioroughly, that ho is ablo to carry his auditors to tho homes of that people, and so vividly narrato tho condition of lifo, that for tho timo being ono thinks himself to bo among them. Tho subject of this lecturo is "Tho Empiro of tho Czar." Just at this time this subjcct is made quito intoresting beeauso of tho ro ceut deatlt of the Czar. Tho Republican, Newport, N. II., says of him: "That he is an cxcccdingly pleasing speakcr and tlioroughly at homo on tho platforra. Ho discussed his subjcct in cloqucnt and graphio languago, flashing hero and thero with wit and humor. Tho cmpire, ho said, was about toawaki with alarger libertv. and that when that day camo it would bo found that tho pon of au Amer ican citizeu was migliticr than tho sword of tho Czar of all tho Russians, for Georgo Kennan through his lectures and niagazino articles, would be respon sible for it." Tickets on salo at E. L. Nichols's. A i.aroe and appreciativo audienco greeted Mrs. General Custcr's second ap pcaranco in Bennington. This time sho was accompanicd by her distinguishcd husband's sister, Mrs. Margarot Custer Caliiouu, who gavo sclectrcadings. Tho enteitainmcut was hehl in Custer Post hall, and A. P. Childs presided. Mrs. Custer gavo ono of her intoresting ad dresscs, tho subjcct beiug "A Buffalo Huut on tho Plains." It was tho stdry of tho hunt, arraugcd uuder tho super vision of Gens. Sherman and Custer, at the timo tho Grand Duko Aloxis of Rus sia visitcd this country tho first time, and was vcry intoresting. Tho Free Prcss of Tucsday had an item that ex presses tho sentiraents of our people, as well as givcs an item of information, as follows: "Mrs. Gen. Custer wont to Bennington on tho tlyor ycstorday noon. Sho loft, howover, a warm spot for hor self intlto hoarts of tho Burlington poo. plo, who hopo that sho will return and visit them next sumtner during the on campment of the National Guard, so that sho may bo ablo to mcot the mombcrs of tho First Vermont cavalry, which rogi m'ent was so higlily esteemcd by Gen.

" Mrs. Cal houn is not so wcll known to our people, but sho will hercaftcr bo as cqually wel como to Bennington as her sistor-in-law. Her progratnmo of solections was ad mirable. Thero was tho laughablo liko, a Bolcction from "Josiah Allen's wifo," tho charmingexomplitication of child lifo in "Jeems's Fablo," tho touching tributo to patriotism and tho soul of honor in "A Rovolutionary story." We doubt if a Charlotto Cushman could havo brought out tho fino points better in tho latter sclcction. Mrs. Calhoun has tho fiulsh of a genuiuo artist. Tho exercises wero cnltvcncd with musical solections by a a malo quartotto, composed of Messrs. Fred Flagg, Fred, Waltor and A. P.
