Fish Stories.

The recent restoration of the fish by
immersion in the cold water of an
aquarium that were frozen during tran
sit from New York to Buffalo, has
brought to light some wonderful fish
stories. An exchange states, upon what
1t ventures to call good authority, that a
whale of great age was recently taken in
the Iudian Ocean. near the mouth of the
Euphrates, with gold lingering in its
stomach bearing the letter ~" as an in
scription, and the letter is OF the curve
form or Chaldaic character, and chal-
lenges any one to prove that the ring did
not belong to Jonah. All very good,
but not equal, we think, to statement
we saw some time since that in a pike,
weighing $50 pounds and 10 feet long,
caught in a lake in Germany in 1897,
was found a ring bearing the following
inscription 81 am the fish which was
put into this lake by the hands of the
governor of the universe, Frederick II,
the 9th of October, 1890" But the fol
loving, vouched for as fact by a
friend, caps them all, that a Montezuma
bullhead, cooked and allowed to remain
for week, will at the end of that time
become raw, and if allowed to remain
for thirty days and then put iuto cold
water will come to life and swim about
the same as before it was cooked. Any
one else having any similar valuable con-
tributiOns 10 natural history will he
heard from with pleasure.

The CONCORD Fight.

The British troops were sent out by
Gen. Gage to seize the provincial sup
plies and war material at Concord,
They reached the village about Z
O'Clock in the morning, the outposts of
the Concord militia retreating before
them. Hawthorne In "Septimius Eel
tom has decided how they entered the
village, marching up past the very house
on the hillside where Hawthorne after
ward lived, and hating at last in the
public square, before the meeting house
and the tavern, opposite which stood the
liberty pole. From midnight till s
o'clock Col. James Barrett, commander
of the militia and keeper of the stores
and supplies, had been removing the lat
ter to places of concealment. His own
house was on the Acton road, nearly
two miles from the village, and a party
of British soldiers instantly went thither.
Another party guarded the North bridge,
close to Mr.. Emerson's parsonag house,
now known as the Old Manse, and a
third party guarded the South bridge
near where the Fltchbufg railroad now
crosses the river The rest of the Brit
ish searched for the stores about the vii
lage, then only third part as large as
now. The militia, in the meantime, had
fallen back to high hill a mile distant
from the meeting house, now known by
its Indian name of Ponkawtasset,w where
they waited for reinforcements, which
came in rapidly. According TO Rip

Numbers from Carlisle, Chelmsford,

Westford, ten miles off, had just entered
the bounds of Concord when the fight
took place. But individuals of that
town were present and engaged in the
battle, among whom was the: brave Col.
Robinson. A company from Sudbury,

a general in the Continental army, were

An Unpublished Item of History.

November 81, 1879, Ethan Allen, Ira
Allen, John Fellows and Paul Dewey, in
behalf of two hundred and forty associ-
ates, filed petition in the office of the
Secretary of State for a grant of ninety
two thousand acres of land lying on
Onion river, east of Middlesex and Wor-
eester. This application covered the
present town of Montpelier, East Mont
pelier, Calais and Plainfeld. This was
the first application for the territory, and
It seems to have failed for the reason
that it was deemed best to divide the
land into townships. The old town of
Montpelier and Calais was granted in
1880; Marshfeld in 1881, and Plainfield
1888 The petition is in volume 81 of

BURLINGTON, April g.
Vermont, though not one of the thir-
teen virgin States which formed the
Union, came with Kentucky soon after,
to join their glorious company. The
little State, through its council Of safe
,ty, had been an Independent government
for some years, and one of the decisive
battles of the Revolutionary war, that
of Bennington, had been fought on her
soil. Entering on her career as a State,
with a sparse and scattered population,
it was many years before she became
rich and prosperous, but to-day she has
