A Hero 5 Monument.

Springfield Republican.
A heroic episode Of the Revolution
was fittinely cOmmemOrated Wednesday
by the dedication of a monument on the
battlefield Of Oriskany, near Utica, where
Nicholas Herkimer, when his horse was
killed and his leg was shattered, COOlIy
put his saddle across fallen tree, and
from that pei CD directed the movements
of his men while he calmly smoked his
pipe. The battle, which occurred August
9Th, 1877, was particularly sanguinary.
In some respects 1t was the turning point
Of the war, since it was the hrst check to
the invasion Of BurgOyne's army, which
surrendered at Saratoga two months
later. Fort Schuyler was besieged by ST.
Leger. and worse still, perhaps, the neu-
trality of the Indians had been broken
by the presence of the powerful chief,
Joseph Brandt. Herkimer, at the head
of 500 local and undisciplined men,
pushed to the relief of Fort Schuyler,
and his men were ambushed by Indians
and tories in the wooded ravine at Orls-
kany, a part of the farmers fed; the
rest, though surrounded, fought for hVe
/ hours, losing 200 Of their number, but
winning the field; and st. Leger himself
/ soon retired to OsWego. The brave Her
/ kimer bIed to death soon after the bat
/ tie, but his deed greatly inhamed the
/ American heart; new troops were raised
and the Continental Congress voted $500
/ for a monument to Herkimer's memory
| This sum, which has grown TO $4,000
was the nucleus for the present mOnu-
ment, while the State Of New York gave
! s, 600 more, and private citizens the rest
/ The monument Is a handsome limestone
shaft, rising So feet above a granite base
upon which bronze tablets record the
names of Herkimer's men, and picture
t scenes of the battle.

A special dispatch from Springfield
says reports to the Nelg England Home
stead from S25 points, covering the Brit
ish provinces, New England and New
York, indicate the hay crop just har-
vested as nearly so per cent. less than
that of last year. Prices are higher than
last year, when the crop was heavy In
shipping counties. Many farmers viii
either have to sell their stock or buy
hay. Cattle viii therefore be lower than
one year ago. There is a drouth In
Northern and Central New England, ex-
tending south and west. Makers of but
ter and cheese in Vermont, and in the
great cheese sections Of New York, state
that they viii be much euTtailed. No
material decline in the prices Of these
products is, therefore, probable. An
other week Of drouth VIII very seriously
affect the milk supply Of Boston and
New York.

Though his friends all called him a screecher

His heart, when he saw her, kept sinking and

And his eye, meeting hers, kept winking and
While she, in turn. fell to thinking and thunk;
And fastened to WOO her, and sweetly he wooed
For his love grew until to mountain it grewed
And what he was longing 10 do, then he dOOed.
In secret he wanted to speak. and he spoke,
To seek with his lips what his heart long had
So he managed to let the truth leak and it loke.
He asked her to ride to church, and they rode;
They 50 sweetly did glide thatthey both thought
And they came to the place to be tied and were

And homeward, he said, let US drive, and they

The Nurse-Maid's Place.

'What shall I do!' said Linda Carol,
folding her white hands together.
"Grandma's fortune has gone up like a
slly-rOclet. Grandma does nothing but
cry, and I haven't friend in the world
nor the means of earning q shilling.
They wouldn't take me anywhere as gov
erness, or as assistant in any shop, with
out experience and references. I've
painted a f1OWer-piece, and it hangs in

ton was very well for a young heiress,
but it is Of no use to a poor girl who
needs to earn her living; and begin to
be afraid that what grandma says about
going into the streets to beg may come
true, absurd as it soundsT'
And she took up the newspaper and
looked over the advertisements.
WANTED, a young, genteel person to
take charge of little boy" she read.
''Perhaps that might do, if 1 can swallow
my pride" she sighed.
And noting the number, she put on
her plainest hat and mantel and hurried
out into the street.
She found the house after a walk of an
ing been ushered into the reception
room, was received by a neat, elderly
woman.
."The arrangements are all left in my
hands" said this person, smoothing her
apron. "You would be wanted to take

Linda smiled.
"WOuld grandma dor" she asked.
And then she told her little story.
Mrs. Possett listened and considered.
Finally she agreed to waive reference,
and offered q pound a week. That sum
Linda knew would secure a nice room in
her present place Of residence for her
grandmother, and she accepted the posi-
ton thankfully. At home she spoke Of her
position as that Of a governess; and the
old lady Wept afresh, as well she might,
when Linda's modest trunk was carried
away.
Master Tommy was an unmanageable
little boy who seemingly inherited his
mothers temper. A regular battle was
necessary before he could be washed or
clothed. He tore things for mere mis-
chiefs sake, and was as fond of biting as

and good humOred. In a week or so she
got the mastery over him, and even
began to teach him something. Of the

Providence Star.
We frequently read of Salem witch
craft, or see reference to 1t as one Of the
peculiarities Of the age and place when
and where it existed. Few, however,
are aware of the widespread belief In it
at that time in the towns and hamlets Of
New England, and more particularly,
perhaps, in those of Massachusetts. The
writer, in his early bOyhoOd, was brought
frequently into contact with elderly peo-
pie, those whose recOllectiOns dated back
to the middle Of the last century. and he
has sat by the hour and heard them re-
hearse thrilling tales Of events which
either came under their own personal
observation or had been described to
them by their ancestors. Some Of these
we're Of a character which would hardly
gain credence in this enlightened age,
but they were religiously believed by
those who related them.
The belief in Witchcraft was quite gen
erai among old people as late as the first
! quarter Of the present century and there
were those who we're believed to have
attained to supernatural power through
making league with the devil, +" or sci

Allegheny Mountains,

A select excursion, which bids fair to
be one of the most delightful of the
summer, has been arranged by the Penn
sylvania Railroad for the Allegheny
Mountains on Tuesday, July LIST. The
objective point of the trip is Cresson,
point which is surpassed by no mountain
resort in the land in all that is agreeable
and attractive to a summer visit. From
Cresson all the most attractive points and
the finest scenery of the Alleghenies are
easily accessible, while its immediate
vicinity has charm enough to hold the
seeker after summer pleasures many
days. The special train will leave Will
mington, 1900 A. NJ, arriving at Cresson
in the early evening, giving excursionists
the benefit of daylight ride through
the interesting scenery Of Pennsylvania.
This train will BIO in charge of the COM
pany's excursion manager, and equipped
with handsome and luxurious coaches.
Observation cars will be attached at AL
tooua. The rate, including return pas
sage and q full days board at Cresson
Mountain House, is $3.50.
The return coupons will be good fol
ten days from date of issue. No more
oppt rtune time for visit to this beauti
full section could be chosen, than IL

The probabilities now are that the
peach crop will not be as large as was at
first expected. The June falling has been
greater than was anticipated. In the
neighborhood of Drawbridge, this
county, many of the varieties have fallen
off in very large numbers, the Troths
being about the only variety that sticks
with any great degree of tenacity to the
trees. OF the yellow variaties Crawford
Late is the best ''sticker," the others fall
ing off very rapidly. In that neighbor-
hood the crop will not he as large as that
of last year Take the Peninsula over,
however, the crop will probably be just
large enough TO be profitable. -SuSsea
