Bennington forced him to follow up the
drawn battle of Bemis' Heights, Septem

Saratoga, October II, and the surrender
of 5000 troops, who marched into the
American camp to the tune of Yankee

Tho heroic incidents of Bennington
are numerous. One old man. Samuel
Fay, had five sons in action under Stark.
A leighbor in from the field, condoling
with the aged patriot, spoke of the
deeds of the day, but of the mis-
fortune of one of his sons.

center of Bennington, great-grand-
daughter of one of Stark's men of Ben
ningtOn, occupies a place in one of the
Executive Departments at Washington.
Her father who died last fall, started
the movement which led to the fund for
the erection of the commemorative ODE
lisk. As the Hath anniversary of the
battle, August IS, falls on Sunday, the
ceremonies will take place on August
10. The Governors of the original thir-
teen States or their representatives will
be present, and Vermont will turn out in
force. The Robinson house will be one
of the centres of attraction, the family
having many relics of the field, among
them Colonel Baum's camp kettle and
sword, cannon balls, bullets, British red
coats and Hessian Announcements. Miss
Robinson, who is member of the
Daughters of the Revolution at Wash
ington, will join her family at their his
tOric homestead during the occasion.
1.-THE President was unable to inform
Senator Morrill, whether he could be
present, but said that the Executive
would be represented.

Trinity Sunday was a red letter day
with the Roman Catholic parishes of
this town. In the three churches the
bishop confirmed l91 persons, commence
ing in the morning at st. John the Bap-
lists church, at o'clock, and closing at
the Church of the Sacred Heart in the
evening. The greatest interest, how
ever centered in the exercises and SER
vices at st. Francis de Sales at II o'clock
and in the afternoon at o'clock. High
Mass was celebrated in tine morn
ing and discourse by the bishop on
the doctrine of the Trinity was at
tentively llstenened to by large congre-
cation. The confirmation services were
held on the lawn in front of the parish
residence. People Of all churches min
gled together in this congregation. This
class numbered 107 and is the largest
ever presented. Several failed to pass
at the last moment, or the number
would have been greater. -Four years
have passed since the last class was CON
firmed. The bishop gave an address
and suddenly began to catechise the
children. He found that they readily
replied to his questions, showing the
pastoral care bestowed by Rev. j. S.
Michaud. 1t is also fair to say that the
classes prepared by the Rev. Chas. E.
Provost at the two churches under his
charge were equally as well fitted for
the occasion. The procession formed in
front of the school house, the Father
Matthew T. A. b. society having moved
from this hall at 2 p. M, and proceeded
to the place of confirmation in this
order:
Cross Bearer, Francis Mcmahon,
Acolytes, sixteen in number,
School Children.
ConfTmdndi. l07 in number,
Sodality of the b. V. NJ,
Clergy-four priests,
Bishop.
The confirmation ended, the process
sion moved to the church, where 20
members of the Sodality were received
by the bishop, and the services closed
with the Benediction Of the Blessed Sac
rament.
The bishop was accompanied by his
chancellor, and aside from Fathers
Michaud and Provost, the Rev. Father
Poquet of Arlington, was present and
assisted. The class of 107 was composed
of 50 males and 4S females. The
oldest of the former was %
years nine months, the Youngest
II years ten months. OF the girls the
Oldest was II years, ten months; the
youngest II years, nine months-average
age of the "boys" l4years, three months;
of the girls, Il years, two and one half
months.

This paper was found among the eff

undoubtedly one of the original copies.
The paper is apparently of finer sort
than the ordinary news of that day,
closely resembling bank note. 1t is dis
colored with age, but the print is very
fine and would do credit to a modern of

1t may be of interest to those who
have in later years wrestled with the
word 'Schoharie" (see English as she

that this paper has the following notice
