The Montreal idiots who fought the
duel in Vermont have lodged $4,000 for
their appearance at the next term of the
Assize Courts in Montreal. Mr.. Rouel
is now able to move about, the wound
caused by the ball having nearly healed
up. Mr.. Vandry, at the second round,
had very narrow escape, the ball of his
adversary passing close to the right side
of his head, and carrying away tuft of
hair with it. Mr.. Rouel was also wound
ed during this round, and although the
duel had been arranged for FIVE rounds,
their honor was satisfied by the drawing
of blood, and the two com batants shook
hands and went into bondage good
friends. The greatest excitement was
caused in the vicinity of Richford
where the duel was fought, the country
people fiocking in crowds to the scene
of the occurrence, and eager search was
made for the spot where the spent balls
had struck. The cause of the quarrel
was Of the most trivial nature. On re-
turning to Montreal, the two men gave
joint entertainment, to their friends.

Custer,s First Cavalry Charge.

While the army was being marched
toward Manassas ! obtained my first
experience with cavalry advance guards.
General Stoneman, chief of cavalry, was
directed to push large force of cayal-
~ along the line of the Orange and
Alexau,i:i "a Railroad, to determine the
position o. the enemy, and, if possible,
drive him across the Rappahannock.
Upon arriving atCatlett's Station, near
Cedar Run, the enemy's pickets were
discerned in considerable force on hill
about one mile in our front. The Fifth
United States Cavalry, to which | then
| belonged, was in advance. Upon dis
cerning the pickets halt was ordered,
and intelligence of the enemy's presence
sent to sGeneral Stoneman. An order
was soon received from that officer di-
recting that the pickets of the enemy be
driven back across Cedar Run. ] at
once asked permission to take my com
pany, the command of which acciden- =
tally held, owing to the absence of the
Captain and First Lieutenant, and per-
form the duty of driving in the pickets.
Permission being accorded, marched
the company to the front, formed line
and advanced toward the pickets, then
plainly in view, and interested observers
of our movements. Advancing with.
out opposition to the base of the hill
r upon which the pickets were posted
when within convenient distance,
gave the command, "Charge," for th'
first time. Ny company responded gal
lantly. and away We went. Our adver
saries did not walt to receive US, but re
treated hurriedly and crossed the bridg
over the Cedar Run, setting fire to
Immediately after. We pursued then

changed several shots with the enem

mand to retire, which it did in exec

vate John W. Bryand, had been she
in the head, fortunately not seriously

Somerset, Aug. 8, 1921.
Mr.. Snashall some years later went
into partnership with Peter Spurck.
The newspapers Of that day reported
no local news. II man was killed that
was the end Of him. The editor never
thought Of making mention OF it. No
incidents or accidents were reported. II
was supposed when anything occurred,
the local gossips were quite competent
enough to give i, publicity. Hence, the
papers are filled with "Foreign News y
that required four OF FIVE months to
reach this country, and travel to the
West. The accidents and incidents ol
other places were reported after they
had become stale from age, but the
"home news" formed no part Of the mat
ter that numbered the columns of that
day. This il a Characteristic of all o
the early journals, as any one will readily
notice by examining them.
As matter of history which may
never be reached by your citizen.
through any other channel, / desire tc
make these historical statements: The
first newspaper in the village was issued
In March 1921, by John Lidey and Z
i. Alfred, and was entitled in full 9Th,
Western World and Political Tickler.
This was continued until about the Is
Of August, 1924, when the Office wa
purchased by James Patterson, and th,
name changed to "Perry Record an,
Somerset Journal" ! succeeded in gath
ering few copies of this latter paper
and they are perhaps the only number
in existence. The Record was publish
ell until about the year 1927 or 1925
when II changed hands again, and as
sumed the title Of "The Peoples Ado
cafe" Under this name, il was publish
cd till April 1881, when it again chang
ed proprietorship, and the name chang
ed to "WesterH Post and Perry Aduertiser.
So much for the old newspaper histor
Of the village, which is correct in ever
particular. II may come in advantage
ously to some historian who may wis
TO write connected history Of the couF
ty or village.
So late as the year 1927, when JoDl
than Babbs was Auditor Of county, tn
entire tax receipts from the taxabl
property, store and tavern licens,
amounted to only s4,29196. The e1
penditures for the year preceding III
1st Of June, were S4,4l424. 1t appear
strange TO us that so much Creating
should be done, aud time wasted by po

1910, as given by the Pittsburgh Post:

CARL SCHURZ AT BELLNIRE AND THE
MALLIE RAGoN.-All the Republican
clubs IN the citp turned out last night
and paraded through several of the
principal streets and thence to the wharf
where they embarked on board of the
"Malie Ragon" for Bellare to join
in the Radical demonstration that
was to take place there in honor Of the
presence of Carl Schurz, who addressed
a large mass meeting in that city last
night. The wharf was covered with
men, women and children to see the
boys depart. 1t was originally intended
to enlarge the capacity for the vast (?)
crowd that was expected to take pas
sage, by the addition of one or
two barges. But from fear of accident
or some other cause, no other means for
transportation than the steamer was pro-
vided. About all the clubs were slowed
away on board, except, perhaps, two of
the clubs, who either thought there was
not enough room for the colored breth-
rem, who had already secured passage, or
else were afraid to take the risk,
so staid at home. Shortly
before s o'clock, the Ragon got way from
the wharf and proceeded on her course,
amid the occasional firing of cannon
and the ascent Of Roman candle. We
opine about the time the boys got shore
and to the place where the bloody shirt"
was being waived, that S2hurz was about
