auantity of flour at some mills, a few miles
owards Cambridge from where lie luy, he
supposed the flour was their object, and he
ot off a party immediately for its security,
jollowing himself with what force he had as
suon as possible.
Just Lefore night he met Col. Baum, at the
head of his Hessians, Tories and ladians on
a branch of the river Hoosuck. Stark’s
numbers were but little more than half those
of Baum, having lessoned them considerably
by sending oue party for arms, another for
beef, cattie, Zc. However he made the best
show he could with the few men he had, by
spreading them out in a single fite, and by
lisplaying the greatest number ih the mos,
«ightly situations, They bLoth halted and
ooked at each other till dark ; when Stak

brest wark., In the morning Stark made
is disposition for attacking Baum in fron
and rear ;by sending two flanking parties,
wne on the right, and the other on’the left, to
aeet his rear and begin the attack, while he
should show him Yankee's play in front. Not
nany minutes after the two parties had mar
ched, it began to rain violently, and they cane
»ick to the main body, and all returned agsin
w their encampment. In the course of the
Dllowing night they received some reinforce
