Mr.. Editor:-Not many months since,
prominent gentleman of mature years,
residing in the State of New York and
not far from the battle ground, asserted
as an authenticated fact, that mo cannon
were used at the first engagement of the
battle of Bennington" As the aforesaid
gentleman's ancestors were in the battle
and valiant soldiers, and himself an
esteemed citizen, his statements were
received with favor and by many be-
lieved. History furnishes abundant testi-
mOny that he was mistaken and that can
non were used by the enemy in both en-
gagements and that they were taken from
them by the soldiers under Gen. Stark.
In the BANNER of week before last an
article appeared, relating, that the wen
cradle John w. Clark recOllected of pos
sessing nearly peck of cannon balls that
were plowed up on his farm at WalloOm-
sac, and of his seeing nearly bushel
basket full of mems skulls that were eX-
humed at the Barnet place, near the
Barnet bridge" when and where the
fence was built that now stands in front
of said premises" Last week an elderly
gentleman, well and favOrably known in
Bennington writes me the following let

Mr.. Tie, the hero of the following
domestic episode, was several years
ago well known in Taylor. The mar
rative is from the Phoebe Record of
last Saturday:
1t was discovered in Chinatown late
last Monday night, that chinaman
known as Tie, and chinawoman known
as Jane, together with $400 in coin
and upwards of $500 worth of jewelry
belonging to China Joe, cook at the
Union Restaurant, were missing. 1t
was learned also that Tie and the
woman quietly boarded the Milford
stage that morning paying double fare
TO insure a quick trip. Deputy U. s..
Marshal McGarry, at Milford, was
notified by wire of the facts known
4 the case and Immediately on the
arrival of the stage there, Tie and the
woman were placed under arrest.
Nearly all the jewelry taken and $102
in money was found on the woman,
and the pair were brought in on Thurs

larceny. Both pleaded not guilty to
the charge when brought into court

date in the premises. The papers ar
rived from Carson in due form Friday
morning, commanding Judge Wells to
appear before the Supreme Court and
show cause why he should not be de-
barred from trying the cause. The pro-
ceeding Is an unusual one and rarely
resorted to in the administration of
justice. 1t is likely that the consti-
tutionality of the Act of the Legisla'
ture creating the office to which Judge
Wells was appointed will come up for
review and form the main objection
raised Ivy the plaintiff. Judge Wells
expects to leave for Carson to-mOr-
row to answer the writ. which is re-
turnable June 2d. The opinion of de-
PENDANTS attorneys is that this move
is but last resort of plaintiffs at
torneys to delay the trial, which is
sure To come off finally in Ely. The
obstruction tactics of plaintiff, while
very annoying, are believed IN legal
circles tn rest ON no solid foundation.

senators, Trials.


 The bane of the average senator's life is the requests of his friends and constituents for tickets of admission to the senate gallery when anything of great interest is going on upon the floor. In later days, on great occa- sions, the senators have transferred the re- sponsibility to the sergeat-at-arms. About twenty years ago the whole duty devolved upon them. Good natured men were made miserable by the demands upon them, and it is told of big, burly Ben Wade that at the impeachment of Andrew Johnson all Ohio demanded tickets to the chamber. He distributed his tickets with a lavish hand, but they gave out sooner than his con- stituents. He managed to make excuses to l como from the northern corner of the state l just to be present at the eimpeachment.
 sNy tickets are all gone," said Senator Wade, "but perhaps can serve you in some other way"
 s.There is nothing else want," sighed tn. chaplain. s'I have heard that you are | generous man, but this Is the first favor have asked after serving. my country fol three years, and besides I have come cleal from Ohio to be present at the Impeachment of Andrew Johnson"
 The old senator looked him over with merry twinkle in his eye, noticing especially the clerical cut of his coat, and then, writini something on clip of paper, said:
 If that doorkesper Is Christian he can not resist that plea"
 After he got out of sight the Ohioal looked at the paper, and on 1t were thes words:
 "For Gad's sake let this man in. Bel Wade."
 Whether it was an imprecation or an ap peal he could not tell, hut he wisely decided to consider it the latter, and passed into tn gallery under cover of the doorkeeper's sur prise at the novel ticket of admission.

appeared to be snowy mountains rising up and down for miles. He could see distance of some forty clear miles, and was able to discern the sun glistening on the water at Brighton. He could smell the sea. Think ing he was coming down, he took. hold of four of his guy ropes. and pulled the balloon partly over on one side to allow the gas to escape at the mouth.
 The balloon then turned round three times and he felt he was descending. He did noth- ing more to the balloon, merely sitting on his trapeze watching for terra frms, which he did not see for some time. At last he saw plowed fields, and close by there was what he took to be large park with white roads across 1t. He then travelled about five or six miles at very rapid pace, and saw more plowed fields, which he thought would be 6 suitable place to land on. When he was about 5000 feet from the earth hs prepared to descend by hanging by one arm to his trapeze rope as If he were using his para chute. When his feet touched the ground the balloon, which was in front of him, ,drag- ged him for ten yards, and then rebounded some sixty feet in the air, between two trees. Two laborers ran from opposite directions and, in response to his signals, they arrived just as he came down a second time, and held the balloon until he let out the gas. He found that he had landed on a farm in the occupation of Mir. Nash, of Penhurst, about
 thirty miles from Croydon. In reply to his
 questions, he said that at one time he must
 have been five miles above the earth, the highest he had ever been. He added that tn. balloon had no escape valve.
