That is, it is a 'muadie if the tax is not voted in money. After some discussion the tax was voted to be raised in cash and that ends the matter for two years at least. The legislature that needs a scribe to re write its bills before action is taken is a body likely to pass just such a law as our present No. 12 of 1884.

We have it from what we consider good authority that probably before this reaches our readers the Fisher Mills will have passsd into the hands of a firm who will run them. It has been known for some time that negotiations were pending for tbe purchase of this admirable property and hopes have been freely expressed that the sale might be consummated, This is likely to be the case.

The firm is tbe old and reliable one of Knower, Haines Cooley, whose New York office is at 24 and 26 Thomas street. Mr. Haines, by the way, was formerly in tbe employ of the late Hon. Setb B. Hunt, and knew about tbe or iginal erection of the mill.

Armed with ample capital, this enterprising firm will give the business interests of Bennington a great boom when they start their looms, It is said that one of the gentlemen in interest will reside here, and that tbe style of cloth made ill be of a tine and bigb grade, calline into service a corps of employes such us any village would be glad to welcome among its permanent inhabitants. We hope that these and many other things will become true before long, and tbey are certain to if the above firm purchase this property. Last Evening's Serenade. The Hon. John W.

Williams, the popular shoemaker near 'the corners' in this village, elected by ths suffrages of his fellow townsmen to the lucrative and responsible office of 'Inspector of was complimented by a serenade last evening. The occasion was a complete surprise to tbe Honorable gentleman. Our citizens turned out en masse, and, accompanied by the band, appeared entirely unannounced. Speech fail ed, so the address of welcome which might otherwise have graced the pages of history is lost to posterity. however, 'spoke and the honors of the evening were duly exchanged.

It is in order to explain that tbe successful candidate for the office ot Inspector of Leather was in the midst of preparing for the entertainment of a few chosen friends when the public ceremonies appeared, and later on this banquet was duly served but pen fails to record further, We only pause to say that the Inspector of Leather of Bennington would have been glad to have invited all in to partake of his hos pitality, but space and time forbid, as well as rations, and for that reason- space and time we conclude this re port.
