BATTLE OF FREDERICKSBURG.

Twenty-nine years ago today the great
battle began, the preliminary movement
being the laying OF five pontoon bridges
across the Rappahannock river and the
bOmhardment OF the city by 100 guns post
ed on the hills on the north bank. The
bomhardment fired the town in many
places, but had little other effect. On the
18th the various corps marched across the
bridges, taking their places on the south
side OF the river. The 18th was the day
that the I'd, 3D., 18th and 9TH Vermont Reg
mentS took an active part. These regi-
ments lost u killed and l25 wounded; r.
600 brave Northern soldiers were sacrificed
in this fruitless battle for the Union.
Twenty years will seem a long time
to many of our school children as they
read this, but there are many of them who
will find that they had father who passed
through the heat and smoke of that great
battle, while the frozen earth trembled UNI
der the fearful roar of the cannon. Com
rades, patriotism is a COMPROMISING bust
ness, so let us teach our children to be 10y
al to country and faithful to God, and may
righteousness eXalt the nation we saved.

WEST DOVER.
West Dover Iron Wine.

Some 80 or 20 year, ago there were
certain parties who discovered that iron
ore was to be found in considerable guam
titles in a tract OF mountain land about
two and one-half miles west of this vii
lage. Parties from New York began work
there by sinking a shaft and afterwards
penetrating the mountain by means OF two
large tunnels to the depth of POO and 800
feet. Iron was found to be quite abund-
ant and buildings were erected and furnace
provided for working it. Some of the old
inhabitants now have iron bars which were
made from this iron. After "A period of
years the business proved to be unprofita-
BILE and the mine was abandoned. Recent
ly parties from North Adams. Messrs
Rich and Bates, have bought this tract of
land of o. l.. Corse and are making ar
rangements to work the mine
