What the Remington Victory Meant
and Did.

and DID
OF the result of Stark's fight at Benning-
ton Prof John Fiske says:
1.-THE news of the brilliant victory spread
Joy and hope throughout the land. Not
least among the grounds of exultation was
the fact that an army of yeomanTy had not
merely defeated but annihilated an army
of Brunswick regulars, with whose Euro
pean reputation for bravery and discipline
every man in the country was familiar.
The bolder spirits began to ask the question
why that which had been done to Baum
and Breymann might not be done to Bur
goyne's whole army; and in the excitement
of this rising hope reinforcements began to
pour in faster and faster, both to Schuyler
at Saltwater and to Lincoln at Manchester.
On the other hand, Burgoyne at Fort Ed
ward was fast losing heart, as dangers
thickened around him. SO far from secur-
| ing his supplies of horses, wagons and food
by this stroke at Bennington, he had sim
ply lost one-seventh part of his available
army, and he was now clearly in need of
reinforcements as well as supplies. But no
word had yet come from Sir William Howe,
and the news from ST. Leger was anything
but encouraging. The ultimate fate Of the
expedition is a part of the history Of the
nation rather than that of Vermont; and
it will suffice to say that, after two severe
engagements at Schuylerville, Gen. Bur
goyne retreated to Saratoga where he sur
rendered Oct. Il, with 577j2 men and all his
arms and military stores"

Every school boy knows of the battle of
Bennington, but its significance and the
true facts regarding it are but little under

New Hampshre's part in Bennington was
fully equal to that of Vermont; nor that

the men who fought under Stark's person

GEORGETOWN, Nov. 9-The large
handsome house Of Benjamin Carmins
on Albury avenue WAS burned to the
ground on Saturday night. The FIRE was
discovered at about o'clock in the even
ing, and straightwsy the whole bust
ness portion OF the town was deserted.
A festival was in progress at the armory
Of Company G, and in very
few minutes the rooms were cleared
After considerable delay the FIRE ap-
paratus was carried to the scene,
and it did good services in saving the
adjoining house Of David Mcgee. The
origin of the FIRE is unknown, as the
members Of the family were absent at
the time, The house was insured for
81, 900, about one third Of its value. A
part of the household goods were saved
but it is said a considerable sum OF money
was lost.
The funeral services Of Harry S. Walls,
who died on Thursday night last Of con
sumption, were held in the NJ. E Church
at 2 80 o'clock Yesterday afternoon. The
deceased was "a years old, and a promi-

his last resting place in the Union

steady work and higher wages.
Even II those false promises should be
