Waterbury evening Democrat., 1893-08-30

The spring and early summer of 115S was a season of intense anxiety for the settlers of New England. The memo rable French and Indian war. with its unparalleled atrocities, was at its height. Massacres, in which whole villages were destroyed, were of frequent occurrence.
 Windham had been especially stirred up by the bloodcurdling reports that were frequently borne from the north. Several times rumors of threatened in vasion by the warlike savages and their more savage allies aroused the town to wild pitch of excitement On these occasions the villagers put implicit faith in the COlonels military sagacity and leadership. He was always placed in command, and his word was law-in short, he was the Miles Standish of this interior Connecticut town.
 In early summer of this year the Con necticut settlers were called upon to rem der additional assistance in the struggle against the French. The French forts of the north were now the objective point, and Colonel Dyer immediately be gan raising a regiment to help in the re duction of Crown Point. The men were sent forward as fast as they enlisted, while Colonel Dyer remained to continue raising recruits.
 One dark, sultry night of this memora-
 ble year the long looked for and dreaded
 crisis seemed at hand. Late in the even
 ing an excited alarm was given by the village parsons slave. The negro was
 badly scared and rushed from house to house, wildly shouting: The French are
 coming. The French are coming" The excited villagers ran to their win
 dows and doors and were met with 8
 din and roar that filled them with amaze
 ment and terror. Such shrieks! Such yellsI The very heavens seemed filled | with unearthly sounds. The earth seemed

THE ALBANY BALL GAME.

Ed. GAZETTE
The ball game last Saturday seemed tt
affect some Of the Albany people very vic
lently. They seemed to think it impossible
that a nine from Corvallis could beat theil
boys. They had to make some excuse aud
so naturally they claimed that the ampiit
| was partial, ratified, sto. Some very badly
affected persons felt SO Disguised with the
result that he wrote quite an extensive ar.
| ticle for the Sunday Herald on the ball
game in general, aud on the unfAirness of
the umpire in particular. Although this
person seemed SO sure of what he was
writing, he appeared to be slightly afraid
that some one might criticise him and 80
dld not sign his name to the article but
wrote under the nom -de-plume of "Aliquis. !"
He states that he knows that the umpire
was loubly dyed ward. Corvallis and
also that some of the fair minded Corvallis
people thought so too. Although it hap
peaed that several iair-minded Corvallis
people were present, yet none that returned
ito Corvallis seemed to think that the rm-
pire was unfair. There were a number of
close decisions made, but Mr.. Northrop
umpired as fairly as any one could; and
gave good satisfaction except to some
chronic kickers, 'Aliquis" among them.
The article in the Herald was also re-
markabls for its veracity in regard to the
score made. 1t mentioned the fact that
Corvallis got the first 'sgoose-egg." Some
how or other the writer of the article in
question forgot that in the inning before,
Albany also got a ''goose egg" When 1
read the article I noticed that one tally
from the first inning had been placed in
the score of the second. thus making A I.
bany's score one in the second inning. Up
on reference to the score book, my suspi-
cious were confirmed and the only reason
that Corvallis got the first zero was because
of the veracity Of '.Aliquis."
I also notice in the account of the gan:e
that the ground was in good cundii,n.'
1t might be in good condition to "Aliquis,
but he must be used to very variegated
grounds. The outfield seemed to have
Deeh a uFleu u swamp Will III GHc seul-
ment left. There were several rock piles
scattered about the fed, and where there
were no rock piles the ground was inter-
spersed with dead. burrows. The diamond
was tolerable, but the track between the
bases had been laid down in gravel, SO that
it was rather dangerous for . base-runner to
slide when close to base.
As ..Aliquis" was. afraid Shat somebody
would criticise his article, will state for
his benefit, that he had signed his name
to it, this piec. would not have been writ
ten. To US, "Aliquis" my be any one in
Albany .,ri instead Of the nom-de-plu me
every else, it casts the blame
of such an article on every one present.
If "Aliquis'' she, to know nay author
ity for writing this articl. refer him to
the o. A. G. hall players, to the Corvallis
boys present at the game, and also to the
'fair.minded" Albany people.
