A Famous Eattle-Taveru

bennington Vermont Cor. of Albany Journal
he tavern received its name from a
huge catamount which had carried off a
calf belonging to John Warner, II man
living IN the vicinity. One stormy winter
night Warner was awakened by the bleat-
ny OF the calf, and on going to the log
Zen where 1t had been confined found the
creature gone, with clear evidence at
hand that the depredatOr had been Il cata-
mount Warner, who was an expert hun
Ter, followed the animal to the Green
Mountains, where he found it with the
calf upon the limb OF Il tree He killed
the catamount, which measured nine feet
from up OF nose to tip of tail. The skin
was stuffed and placed upon the sign-post
of the old tavern. The landlord OF the IA
NOUS tavern (Which at first was known as
the Green Mountain TAVERN was Captain
Stephen Fay, who settled in Bennington
IN lf16, and who was father of an inilu-
entail family. Five of his sons were in
the battle Of Bennington, one Of them
was instantly killed by a shot through the
head Theodore 5. Fay, our late Minister
to Switzerland, is great-grandson of
landlord Stephen Fay, OF the Catanount
Tavern. 1t was at this place that the
Council OF Safety" the provisional Gov
eminent for many years-was accustomed
to meet. Here also was gathered YER
mont's first Legislature, June 4, l77S. At
this place was tried Redding, the Tory.
who was detected in the act of CARVING
muskets to his brother Tories, and who.
for his disloyalty, was hung in front of the
tavern. Benjamin Fay, the first Sheriff of
Vermont and son of landlord Fay, Off
ciated upon the occasion and cut down
the body of Reddng with his sword after
the execution, the Sheriff being seated
upon horseback at the time The house
was the headquarters Of General Stark
at the battle OF Bennington, August 16,
ll11, and here were brought the dead and
wounded after the battle.
An anecdote of landlord Fay in con-
nectlon with this battle is related as fol-
lows: While the families of some of the
men engaged in the battle left the vicini-
ty in anticipation of the defeat of our
troops, Stephen Fay stood by his tavern,
He had received a note from Colonel
Baum, the British commander, the day
previous, which announced with charac-
teristc GOODNESS and self-confidence. "My
officers and myself will dine with you on
the 10th; please have dinner ready. ,"
Baum himself fell in the field, but late in
the afternoon of the day many of his Off
GERS and men marched through the village
under guard as prisoners of war AS they
passed the tavern MIR Fay stepped out in
TO the porch at the front door, and remov-
ing his three-cornered hat with pro-
found bow, said, Gentlemen, | am glad
to see you; dinner is ready"

A Rich Conductor.

A letter from Des AIoines. Iowa, to the
Chicago Tribune mentions the bouncing
of a large number Of conductors on the
Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific railroad.
"Spotters' have been employed for some
time, and it is said the conductors returns
did not tally with those of the spoilers.
The letter mentions no names The fol
lowing is an account of how the railroad
''waked up the wrong passengers"
He came to the depot to take his train,
as usual, when an officer Of the road and
an officer of the law appeared and arrest
ed him On his shirt front was q 50 900
diamond pin; in his pocket Il valuable
gold watch and chain, which We're seized
and taken from him. He was escorted to
his house, where his trunks was searched,
and about 700 in government bonds
found, which were taken. lie was next
asked if he could furnish bonds and keep
himself out of jail until a trial was had
to which he made affirmative answer. An
eastern bank was telegraphed, which re-
sponded that bonds would be furnished in
$500 il necessary, as that was the
amount deposited to his credit there
The railroad official opened his eyes and
smiled over the bonanza he had struck in
the eompany's favor. This settled. it was
next the conductors turn, \ lawyer was
called in, who politely informed the rail-
road man that the diamond pin they had
illegally taken had been worn by the con
ductor over twenty yeers; the watch had
been carried by him years before he went
into the employ OF the company; the
United States government bonds they had
taken were the property of his wife, rs
proceeds of her share in an estate rs heir
as also was the money in bank The best
thing the company could do would DC to
return that which they had stolen and
with it $4,000, and no further questions
would be asked. The company come to
the attorneys terms. Your correspondent
has seen the aforesaid diamond pin, and

Why is Gov. Tilden any more likely to
reform this Government than Gov. Hayes?
What is there in the character of these two
men that gives one, Tilden, the preemi-
nence over Hayes as a reformer? TJohn
Sherman in the Senate
The answer to these questions furnishes
the dividing line between the two parties:
L. Gov. Tilden has shown by his works
his faith in reform and his ability as a re-
former. He struck down the Tweed Ring
inside his own party. He crushed the
Canal Ring, composed of rogues of both
parties. And in less than eighteen months
he reduced the taxation in this State from
fifteen to eight millions in round numbers
What has Hayes done but sign routine pa
pers, grant pardons, and take his ease in
office !?
IL. The characters Of the two men are
as far apart as the poles. Tilden is pro-
nounced, positive, and aggressive in as
sailing corruption and fraud, while Hayes
is uncertain, weak, and Indifferent, espec-
tally when the exposure of his own party
is concerned. His record as a member of
Congress and as Governor is blank He
belongs to the order Of negative men,
without force or self-assertion who travel
a smooth road of life, smiling like the
late Schuyler Coliax. and treading on no.
body's corns or prejudices, that furnish
the material for compromise cand-
dates. Tilden would be the leader of
reform in the White House, and Hayes
would be the mere tool of Cameron. Nor
ton, Blaine, Chandler, Logan. and the fac
tons, to continue Grantism under another
name. The firm would be changed. but
the business would be exactly what it is
now. N. Y. Sun
