works and carried them after delivering and receiving two or three volleys. The immediate result was the capture and de- spersion of Baum's whole command which probably hastened the catastrophe 10 Bur goyne's whole army which surrendered just two weeks later at Saratoga. The prisoners captured numbered several hun dred and were confined in the church at Bennington Centre, or the ground where the present one stands. From this point we can take in the whole scene, enacted ninety-eig years ago. It all lays mapped out before us but mile or two dstant.- A grandson of one of the actors m the fight gave us these particulars and pointed out all the localities to us. The woods where the Hessians were encamped, and where Stark gathered his men for the as- sault, are in thelr outline exactly as they were then, the fields across which Stark led his man are the same now as then, even the bars or gateway is retained where he addressed them. The mounds where the Hessians entrenched themselves can still be seen.
 During the past summer some days as many as two hundred persons have visited the Observatory. 1 can hardly conceive of a more interesting point for the tourist than Bennington and vicinity. M. Y. Vermont, Oct. 9th, "A.

 FRIEND PEAsE :- The timely warning given in your paper of the needed public reforms, has secured us 8 good road and the promise now of a lookup. There re- mains yet one more reform. refer to the liberty now taken by certain youths to jump on the train on approaching or leav- ing the depot and then jumping off while the cars are in motion. Last week youth with an armful of newspapers turned somersault and struck on his head instead of hls feet. The papers were scattered to the winds. Fortunately he sustained no serious injury. The rules of the R, R. Co. forbid all such liberty, and it is made the duty of the station agent to have it en- forced. The civil law also makes it finea- ble for any one to ride on the platform of the cars. Now, since there was notice last week of like lawlessnes and reckless | ness at Salisbury, would it not be we'll for all employees of the R. R., agents, conduc- tors and breakmen to enforce the rule and if the boys will not respect their orders hand one or two of them over to the civil law. One of these two things is certain the town will be at the expense of support ing or burying some one for this reckless ness, or the R. R. Go. have bill to settle for accidental injury Our merchant, s. c. Beckley, after fair warning, has raised the flag at his store, of leash down or no sale of goods. It will be hard to conquer the monster, Credit, single-handed, yet S. c. has the right idea, of cash sales at small profit, for the benefit of both the buyer and the seller......The Episcopal Society are making some repairs on their church, and it is reported they are to give the inside another repainting, winch, with the new windows added this summer, will make the chapel quite attrac,ive......Last Sabbath eve the Sunday school concert at the Meth odist church was well attended. The re- view of lessons was interesting, and the singing, the school being assisted by the choir under the leader, Hiram Cogswell, was good. The address of Rev. Lewis Reed was listened to with marked atten- tion by young and old......Mr. John R. Fuller has added new heater at his resi- = dence. Mir. Forbes Adams has just put in steam heater at his residence. ....Mr Jeffrey Percal has enclosed new house on the lot adjoining his residence. .....A sharp fist fight occurred at the depot between a representative of Africa and an Irishman We are not informed who was the victor A few more such scenes, and our new lookup will be occupied.

Goshen.
 Rev. T. A. Hagen, who has been away on his annual vacation, returned this week. The pulpit was supplied on the first Sab bath of his absence, by the Rev. s. G. Wright of Burlington Kansas, one of the noble band of Home Missionaries. He made an earnest appeal to the church in behalf of home missions, especially in the west. Last Sabbath we listened to two excellent sermons by the Rev. T. McLaugh- lin. Among the flowers adorning the pull pit, we noticed number of beautiful roses and some very fine specimens of the pas sion flower......Mr. Hagen returns just in time, for rumor says, and we have nc doubt of the correctness of the report, that another bride will wear the orange blossoms this week. This has been year of we'd dings. Goshen would be poor place fol that insurance agent of the Widder Simp. sons, l could not advise him to call here, on his travels, but should think it would be well for him to accept the Cornwall invita- tion............The mania for hunting hes somewhat subsided, bags and baskets tha, are always brought back we'll filled with nuts Of all kinds, have taken the place oi guns. 1.-The new bell at the academy sends forth it's daily call in very pleasant tones This bell has long been needed, the old one was badly cracked and could be heard only short distance.

 The old flagstaff erected in Collinsville, in 1855 has recently been cut down, as some parts of it were too much decayed to be safe. The staff with topmsst measured nearly 19O feet, and our firemen often threw water over the top of it. Its origi- nal cost could not have been Jess than twelve hundred dollars...... On Friday even ing, Sept. %, six railroad men were on a handzcar going down from this village, and when about two miles below here one of the cranks broke off throwing three of the men on the track in front, and the hand.car passed over them in6icting serious injuries. Patrick O'Neil, one of the men, aged 66, died of his injuries three days af- forwards, and the others will recover. The wife of Joseph Snow, of Collinsville, was run over and killed by the cars seven teen years ago at the same spot where the above accident occurred. .....Apples are un- usually plenty in this secton and good winter apples can be bought for fifty cents per bushel, and they are sold at the cider mills at fifteen cents 8 bQshel...... Clinton M. Woodford, of Canton, raised quantity of red onions from seed sown May 10, of extra large size. One of them weighed seventeen ounces and measured thirteen inches around, and many others but little smaller. Harvey U. Chapin picked ripe stray berries in his garden Sept. 25th...... D B.

Up to Sept. 1st, in 1874, there were only eight marriages in Canton, but slnce the first frost came in September not less than six couple have de. cided for Union forever and many others will doubtless go and do likewise before 1875.

Sheffield.

Sheffield.
 We are pleased this week to make 6ote of the purchase by Manley Wickwire, Esq.,, of the cottage formerly the residence of Judge Bradford, in this village. For several years this pretty little house has been closed, and it will be pleasant sight to see it alive once more. We think Mir. Wickwire will find cordial welcome to the neighbolhood awaiting him and his pleasant family. We have yet too many vacant houses here and would be glad of more additions to the village population. 1.-The house of the late Mrs. Butts is for sale and we learn that an auction sale of household goods will be made there soon, but being uncertain as to the date of said sale, it is not right to give the time......It IS said that the furniture of the late Mrs. A Cande will be sold at auction the 18th inst ......The old cemetery in South Main street is an object of attention at the present time. A few weeks since some ladies de- cided that it should be cared for, and by the agency of Mrs. Barnard bee was made,
 
 trees trimmed, and we find it quite re- spectacle burying ground now that we can see the head stones once more.....Dr. Dewey and some others are now having a new fence built in front of this yard, and we are sure they will feel fully compen- sated for their generosity in the improve ment made. There is cemetery in West ern Sheffield which needs like attention. Cannot some of those thrifty farmers out there attend to it that it may do honor to their nicely kept farms. It would be a good plan for the Agricultural Societies to offer premium for the best kept grave yard, then we would soon see strife to cut down weeds and briars and repair fences.....T Friendly Union opens for it's fourth session next Friday evening in French's hall. As this society is produc- tive of good here it is hoped the interest may not abate but that the attendance may be large. Last week the population of the town was increased by the addition of pair of twins born to Mrs. Massey, who resides near the depot. We trust this mo- tice will be appreciated especially by the teachers of the Center school. L.

the line Of the rOaQ rom fOughkeepSle to the East.
 A passenger will be able to step into a drawing room car or sleeping coach of the Pennsylvania railroad at Boston and get out at Washington or Pittsburgh, saving many miles in distance over present lines, and the delay annoyance and expense of transfers through New York. The loss of time and expense of getting from the Grand Central depot to the depot iu Jersey City is now equal to about one hundred miles ol extra travel. and nothing like the annoy ance, especially for ladies travelling alone is experienced on the American continent
 ooNcLUsIoN.
 IL will establish the shortest. and thence quickest and cheapest throug gh railroad line between two sections of country that shiI more freights from one to the other thar any other sections in America.
 To put the entire line in operation re quires but the construction of eighteen miles of new road, which can be completed in six months and at an expenditure o five hundred thousand dollars; and this 1s miles of new road, connecting as it does with five trunk lines on the west, the Hud son river on the east, and connecting road to the east, will be the best paying IS mile of road ever constructed in the state. The floats to cross the river until tn, bridge is finished are lying idle and can b, purchased or leased. The course of tn, river at this crossing is such that there i no formation of ice during the winter t, prevent the running of these floats the en tire winter, with little or DO delays. 1 If the project here presented is favorabl. received, we request that some acton ma. be taken at once by those interested in Bos ton and the east, for it's further investiga tion. If found to be of the importance w l believe it is, in the solution of the trans portation problem. we ask that New Eng land unite with the people of the Centra Hudson and Pennsylvania, in the openin of this new line for traffic within the nex six months.
 Yours respectfully,

MANUFACTURED IcE-IHE Process or
MAKING Wandering about the city the
other day this local struggled into the Austin
ice manufacturing establishment, where he
formed the acquaintance Of 1lr. Leon FoutreI,
who has had an experience Of eight years in
Ehc manufacture Of ice, and who kindly fur
nished him information in regard to the process
Of It's manufacture. The process eonzists in
heating quantity Of amonia, say twenty-five
gallons, to q certain degree sufficient to cause
it to evaporate, and the gas thus formed is
condensed in passing through the pipes Of q
large vessel called the condenser, and then it
is forced to the freezing box, where it again
eyaporates by taking the caIoric Of the water
contained in said box. This absorption 50
lowers the bath in the freezer that It causes
the fresh water contained in the moulds to
become ice. The Iiquifed gas, after passing
through the freezer, Is pumped back into the
ammonia boiler, to undergo again the same pro
cess.
The machine Of the above company pos
sesses the capacity of manufacturing but
twelve hundred pounds Of ice every twenty
four hours, while it is estimated that Austin
alone, to say nothing Of the wants Of the
country and adjacent towns, requires from
four to five thousand pounds daily. Mr..
Foutrel thinks that with a machine of sufi-
cient capacity to supply that amount, the
price Of ice could be so reduced that the ma
tural article could not come in competition
with the manufactured ice.

THE FEDERAL CoURT.-The United States
grand jury were discharged Friday, after
sitting nine days and returning thirty-fve bills
Of indictment, among which was one capital
case and several felony cases. We learn that
the business of the circuit court was rapidly
dispatched by Judges Bradley and DuvaI, and
that the term viii be an unusually short one
The officers of the court have been perfectly
inundated with applicants for seats on the ju-
RES, there being swarm Of men about the
court building ever since the session convened
After the empanneling of the grand jury and
petit jury No. l, the competition became
greater than ever for seats on petit jury No. 2,
the final empanneling of which brought joy to
but twelve souls and grief to at least hun
dred. But Of all the pale and elongated faces
that we have ever seen were those of the
grand jury and petit jury No. when the
judge discharged the same last Friday.
1t occurs to US that it is not very paying
business for men to come from great dis
lance to get place on jury for couple of
days, or as many weeks, at three dollars day,
especially when four-ffths of all that come
are doomed to disappointment; and if citi-
zens of Travis county would be a little back
ward in rushing forward for positions of this
kind they would not occupy such unenviable
positions in the public eye.
