and some of the Vermont militia, he
marched to support Col. Gregg, who
was lily prepared to meet such force
of the enemy. Gen. Stark had not pro-
ceeded more than ten miles. before he
met Gregg retreating, the enemy in full
pursuit and close upon his rear. AS
soon as Baum saw Stark's column, he
came to a halt on an eminence, now
called Hessian Hill, and there intrench-
ed himself. The Americans took posi-
ton in open view, but there were no off
ensive operations on either side, and
shortly after, they marched back mile
towards Bennington, and encamped,a a
few men being left to skirmish with the
enemy, thirty of whom with two Indian
chiefs were killed.
The next day, Aug. 18th, was rainy,
and nothing was done except some skir-
mishing. Many of the Indians deserted,
because, they said, the woods were full
of Yankees. The next morning Gen.
Stark was reinforced, his whole force
numbered 1000 men. He sent Col.
Moses Nichols, with 250 men, to set
against the rear OF the enemy'sleft wing;
and Col. Henrick, with 300 men, to at
tack the rear of the right. Three hum
dred we're places in front to divert their
attention, while Coils. Hobert and Stick
new commanded two detachments, one of
200 men to attack the right wing, and
the other of 100 to support Col. Nichols
in the rear of the left.
The battle was begun in the latter
quarter precisely at 3 o'clock, p. M, and
was carried on simultaneously by the
other detachments, Stark himself fadvanc-
ing with the main body. The battle
lasted two hours, at the end OF which
the enemys breastworks were forced,
two pieces of their cannon were taken,
| and a number Of prisoners, while the
remnant retreated down the hill, some of
the men in the panic being percipitated
| into the Wallomsac River. While Ba-
!
um was in full retreat, Stark received in
telligence of the approach of another
body of the enemy, which had been sent
for by Baum, and commanded by Col
onel Breyman. just at this juncture
Col. Seth Warmers Green Mountain reg
iment, ordered from Manchester by Stark
came up, and fell upon the enemy with
desperation similar to that with which
the British light brigade charged upon
the Russians at Balaklava, though with
out the same fatal results, as they felt
greatly chagrined at not having hand
in the first engagement. Stark rallied
his scattered troops and led them into
the action again, which was severely
contested The cannon taken from Ba'

THE LOCAL CoLUMN.-When little
children keep out of trouble and big
children keep out of wickedness, and
horses don't run away, and everythingis
quiet, editors experience considerable
difficulty in finding enough material to
make up an interesting column.
Everything being thus adversely qui-
ct, and events combining not to happen,
can we rightfully be blamed for scar
city of items?
How is it with our readers?
Did you, kind sir, or you, madam,
who have read the local columns week
after week, ever do anything tohelp sus-
tain it?
Did you ever furnish any items?
Remember it is not the pen of the
writer, but the act of the people, that
makes this column lively.
Were the labors evenly divided, few
notices of each inhabitant of the town
would keep this department full.
As it is now, small number of earn
est supporters of the press furnish all the
material for remark, while the great
mass take up the paper simply for amuse-
ment, and never think that they have
duty to perform in amusing others.
Let each one hold soul-searching self
communion, and see if ifpersonal duty has
been done in this matter.
Ask yourself the following questions;
Did YOU ever steal horse, or any
thing?
Did you ever have anything stolen?
Did you ever kill anybody?
Did anybody ever kill you?
Were you ever drowned2
Did you ever die shocking accident
al death ?
Were you ever hung?
Did you ever elope with anybody
Did anybody ever elope with your
Were you ever terrible instance OF
youthful depravity?
Did your house ever burn?
We fear many readers of this paper
will be obliged to answer all these ques-
ticns in the negative. To such We say:
Don't find fault with the local column
until you have personally done something
to make it interesting.

Oyerstudy of Children at School.

The Boston Journal says: Two hum
bred and three parents and guardians
directly interested in the matter, sixty
five clergymen, and one hundred and
fifty-three physicians of this city, have
signed a petition to the school committee
to release the pupils at the Public Latin
School from all study on Saturdays, with
the exception of the one in each month
set apart for public exercises. The re-
quest is not only reasonable, but an emf
nently wise one, and supported as it is by
many of ourmost distinguished citizens,
should be complied with. The students
in the institution in question are prob
ably worked harder, and have less time
given them for recreation, than those of
any other preparatory school in the
country. The curriculum is a severe
one, and not only are the daily sessions
unusually long, but the children are re-
quired to devote three hours to study af-
ter school hours. The result of this
certainly iniudicious system of manage
ment cannot but be unsatisfactory in the
extreme. No good end is, or can be
subserved.
A boy, though capable of doing and
standing an innumerable number of re-
markable things, has large amount of
humanity about him after all, and there
Is limit even to his powers of endurance.
Naturally fond of excitement and averse
to monontony, it is not in his nature to
thrive under regime that practically
keeps him tied down to his books during
the best part of every working day in
the year. Educators, as a rule, have
recognized this fact long ago, and learned
to appreciate that the old-time method of
examining is rarely successful, except
so far as it drives out of a students head
whatever valuable knowledge he may
have previously possessed. At the Bos-
ton Latin School the course really pro-
vides for eight hours actual study every
day in the week, excepting, of course,
the Sabbath. Addto this the time occu-
pied in preparation for school and in
iourneying between home and the insti-
tuition, and but very narrow strip OF
time remains before bedtime fol
rest. Parents testify that as matter
of fact, this tax upon their children in.
lures them physically and mentally.

German Soldiers in French Houses.

The correspondent of London Times
who has lately been accompanying the
Duke of Mecklenberg's army is much
impressed by the admirable system of
quartering troops which prevails with
the Germans. When reduced to its ele-
ments, this wonderful system seems to
consist in simply going from house to
house and allotting all the beds of pri-
vate citizens to soldiers till every man is
provided for "Where upon these occa-
sions, the correspondent candidly con-
fesses, "the family goes to must ever
remain q mystery" Once he himself
woke in the middle of the night in a
comfortable bed which had been assign
ed to him by the quartermaster, and
perceived "by the dim flicker of an ex-
piring fire his hostess and two children
sitting up and doing in chairs" The
poor creatures had no alternative but to
spend the night thus, for they had no
other bed in the house. They were too
terrified to accept the correspondents
proposal to exchange places with him,
but he did the best he could to make
them comfortable with rugs and shawls.
On another occasion near Freteval he
was startled on returning one evening to
find his hostess in the bed he had occu-
pied for a couple of nights. "She over
whelmed me" he says, with apologies
She really could not help it, there was
not another bed in the house, and it was
so unexpected much more to the
same effect, which was to me quite in
comprehensive, until the faintest sound,
