Monument Dedicated.

The people of Plttsford on Thursday dedi-
Gated monument to the memory OF Caleb
Houghton, who was killed in that town July
Is, $780, by the Indians. The monument is
gu the site of g Fort Vengeance" and we
take from the address of Dr. A. w. Caverly,
delivered on Thursday, the following account
of the Fort and of the manner OF Houghton 3
death
Like all other forts in Vermont, it was a
picket fort; trench was dug five or six feet
deep, the trunks OF trees, mostly hard map G
and beech, a foot OF a foot and a half in d.
ameter were sunk into the trench as closely
together as possible, extending sixteen OF
eighteen feet above the ground and sharpen
ed to point at the top; betwt en eaci, log a
stake was driven to fill the space left bv the
round, unhewed logs; within the pickets a
breastwork was thrown up about six feet
high, and about six ieet broad at the base,
and composed entirely of dnt and logs At
a height con senient for the garrison were
loop-hoes between the logs, and large enough
at the center Tor the barrel of the musket 70
pass through, and radIating outside and in
side, SO that the soldiers within could move
the muzzles Of their guns in the loop-holes
and command wide range without, while
the loop-holes were 30 far from the ground
on the outside, that the enemy's shots CON-
ing through them would pass over the heads
of the garrison. The form of the fort was
square, enclosing an acre or more of ground.
On each corner, jutting outside was e INK
er, with two stories; that is, floor was laid
across each, about eight feet from the ground
answering Tor ceiling to the space below
above this floor or ceiling was the sentinel's
box, with loop-holes above and below, from
which the musketeers cou I'd rake the approach
to the fort in every direction, with deadly
fire. On the east of the fort was a large
double gate, OF oak plank, thickly studied
! with large headed nails or spikes, SO as to be
completely bullet-proof, while on the wes
side of the fort was a WI :ket gate within
the fort, extending along the north side, were
the officers barracks, and on the south side
the soldiers barracks. In the northwest
corner was the magazine for the munitions o.
war-a framed building. In the northeast and
southeast corners were wells, but these were
soon neglected and the garrison supplied
themselves with water from a spring thirty
or forty rods east of the fort. The space be-
tween the officers and soldiers barracks wal
the parade ground, The fort was dnishec
in June.

The LAKE CHAMPLAIN SERPENT-That great
unrivalled humbug, the Lake Champlain
snake, after having been killed several times.
finally becomes the subiect-or rather the
principal-of splendid practical joke. A
resident of Whitehall, and one who is con.
sidered IN every way responsible, wrote to a
friend in Port Henry, that his snakeship had
been taken, and was lying On the Whitehall
dock, the observed of all observers. He
described him as being fifty-eight feet long
and about twenty inches in diamerer, and
that they would keep him in Whitehall for
day or two and then ship him off to be en-
balmed, preparatory to his being placed
IN the Museum OfsAnatomy in Albany. OF
course the news soon spread, and quite a
number took the boat for W hitehall to see the
monster. One of the boys on his return was
asked by your correspondent if he had seen
the wonder. He replied with dignity that
he had had that pleasure, and being asked To
tell how aud under what circu instances. he
said that on his arrival at Whitehall he met
some friends and asked them concerning the
snake; they told him it could be seen. and
they led bin off in the direction of the hotel.
and was told that it was in a large b,x or
something in The hotel. UnsuspecIineIv he
went into the hotel and, before he knew IL.
