The Treason Of Cauyagnac.

The Treason of Cauyagnac.
We must now go back a little way
and inform our readers what had been

have only heard imperfectly
After several assaults the outworks
were taken. but the brave defenders
OF it, after disputing. every inch Of

way. and took refuge in the fortress

NJ. de AIeilleraye knew well that If he
had lost five or six hundred men in
taking the outworks he should lose
six times as many in taking a fort
surrounded by good walls, and de
Tended by a man whose courage and
skill he had already experienced to
his cost. He had. therefore, decided on
commencing a regular siege, when the
arrival of the Due dEpernon doubled
his force.
This changed the aspect of affairs,
and they decided on an immediate as

Before long the cries were heard dis

"Oh, oh" said Lenet "here is a
hostage for Richou'
As the crowd approached they could
distinguish a party of thirty soldiers
endeayoring to protect a man from the
fury Of the people who were crying,
Death 10 the governor of Branne.'
"Oh, madam 1t seems that he also
is in danger. DO you hear the cries

Rev. Mr.. Hough of Brattleboro lectured
at the Methodist church Wednesday even
ing on "How to get there" coming under
the auspices of the Epworth league of the
church. The audience was of a good size
and listened very attentively, showing their
appreciation and enjoyment of the lecture.
We hope to have the privilege of listening
to Mr.. Hough in some of his other lectures.
The league served a supper in the vestry
before the lecture
Charles Sullivan, brother of Timothy
Sullivan, who was taken to the Brattle-
boro Retreat few weeks ago, is gradually
failing, Hope of any improvement in his
condition has been given up. Mrs. j. II.
Conway, his sister, visited him last week
and for a moment he recognized her, but at
once reapsed into his former state. He is
able to be about the building, but the
progress of the disease is such that he is
not expected to survive long.
j. b. Farley, who was formerly a we'll
known paper-maker here, now living il
| Wendell Mass, was burned out a second
time last week, losing a pulp mill known as
the Wendell Pulp company, of which he
was a principal owner. A paper mill own
ed by him was burned there two years ago
| By the way, what is the matter with pa
er makers who graduate here? Timothy
! Sullivan has been burned out twice since
hleaving here, and f. II. Brown once. Al

dealer who has been in town two or three
MONTHS having a store in the block at the
north end of the Square, and who took hi'
goods away the middle of last month, ha'

South Londonderry and was selling hi
clothing there at auction, when one even
ing last week the large lamp in the centr,
of the room fell, setting it on fire, and be
fore it could be controlled his stock, al
well as the building, was destroyed, Rosen

THE LARGEST FIRE ENGINE.
1t is owned by the city of Hartford
Conn.

Brattleboro firemen will be interested in
the description, given by Harper's Weekly,
of what is believed to be the largest and
most powerful steam fire engine in the
world. 1t is a locomotive machine driven
by its own steam), of the Amoskeag type,
and was recently built for the city of Hart
ford, Conn, The name with which she
has been chrstened, Jumbo is one to
which her dimensions well entitle her.
Over 10 feet high and II long, she weighs
eight and one-half tons, and can throw 1850
gallons of water per minute. Her boiler con-
tains 301 copper tubes. This engine threw
at her first trial, through 80 feet of hose three
and one-half inches in diameter, horizon
tai stream of water distance of 34S feet,
and threw two streams, each as large as
that thrown by an ordinary fire engine, a
distance of over 300 feet. The size of this
leviathan is better appreciated when we
think that a common horse draught engine
only weighs about 5000 pounds, and has a
capacity of only 800 or 600 gallons per
minute. The road driving power OF the
engine is applied through two endless
chains running over sprocket wheels on
each of the main rear wheels, permitting
these wheels to be driven at varying speeds
when turning corners. The engine may be
driven Eeither forward or backward, and
can be stopped inside of 80 feet when run
ming at full speed.
When in the house the boiler is connect
ed with steam pipes from heater in the
basement and steam is always kept up to
about % pounds, which would run her
about a quarter of mile. The fire box is
kept full of material ready for lighting,
and a steel arm under the engine carries a
| quantity of waste saturated with kerosene
oil, in close proximity to a card of matches
| in a holder under a scratcher. the latter
being attached to a cord tied to a ring in
the floor. At an alarm of fire the steam
pipes are disconnected, the throttle open
/ ed, and before the engine has moved six
| inches the cord pulls the scratcher, and the
rod carrying the blazing waste swings
around under the five box, igniting the
| shavings and wood. Camel coal is burned,
and steam enough can be generated in two
minutes to run the engine at a speed of 81
miles an hour.
