The Battle of Bennington.
An Old Song by GEN. WILLIAM CHAM.
BERLAIN.

The tune of Yankee Doodle" was
used by the Continental army at the
battle OF Bunker Hill, and afterward be-
came a general favorite with the Ameri-
can soldiers. A British officer wrote the
words set to it, hurlesquine the Yankees,
which the British and Tories oft sang
with great zest for their benefit. The
following verses, set to the same lively
tune, were written by Gen. William
Chamberlain, as kind OF counterpart,
and were contributed by him for the an
niversary celebration of the Battle OF
Bennington, by the veterans, of which he
was one, in 1909. They were found,
with other papers and some rare old
coins, in blind drawer in his old desk
a few years ago. General Chamberlain
made no pretensions to being poet, but
he was soldier and patriotic, as the
following verses indicate:
The sixteenth day of August last
Twas early in the morning
To hold ourselves in readiness,
Bold Stark he gave us warning,
By six O'Clock the order came
An order for our marching
To meet our foes in their stronghold.
To rout and to dslodge them.
CHORUS
Sing Yankee Doodle. Victory!
Sing Yankee Doodle Dandy.
From Yankee see the British fee,
And leave their arms quite handy.
A disposition then we form
To meet them on each quarter;
And men with heroes ardor warn
Rush on to blood and slaughter.
And, though the cannon loud did roar
And grape shot flew like hailstones,
We stormed their works and made them fly,
And quit their strong embrasures.
Brave Colonel Nichols on the right
Behavior showed most gallant;
And Colonel Stickney on the left
Displayed his martial talent.
For through hot, incessant fire
Ofsmall arms, and of cannon.
We rushed upon, and forced them
The ground to quite abandon.
Seven hundred prisoners, with their arms,
Baggage and ammunition,
Then fell into our conquering hands,
They made a full submission.
Besides, upon the battle ground,
Slain in this mortal duel.
Two hundred were the bodies found,
The Drey of Death so cruel
But while our soldiers busy were,
Securing prisoners taken,
The foe was strongly reinforced,
We saw them toward us making.
Brave Warner then, with corps reserved
Gave them a warm reception,
And quickly made them retrograde
With great precipitation.
New Hampshire boys the victory won,
Which does them lasting honor;
Commanded by brave General Stark,
And the intrepid Warner
And we would fight for liberty
With Howe-or Alexander
And never fear the face OF clay,
With Stark for our commander
And now my verse is nearly closed,
And to conclude my story,
Twas Heaven that kindly interposed
And crowned the day with glory.
Our officers and men all fought
With bravery and spirit
Their active services that day
Immortal honor merit,

Cost.
1O2,760
$113,661 so

The average cost per rod for all
drains constructed during the past
twelve years is thus seen to be about
$1.10.
Another proof of the care with which
the work was done is seen in the fact
that total of over one hundred thir-
teen thousand dollars was raised and
expended for drains, and of that sum
less than eight hundred dollars had to
be raised by re-assessments. the law re-
quiring re-assessments when the first
assessment does not provide sufficient
funds to carry through the drain.
During the period of his service, Mr..
Mason has had over six hundred differ
ent contractors working under him and
every individual contractor may rest as
sured that his name is on the list. Mr..
Mason found it profitable to keep such
a list for his own personal use, and can
tell at q glance, even if his memory
should fail him, whether the work of
any contractor was good or faulty, and
tricky contractor usually met uneX-
pected difficulties when he came to bid
for second Job. The different con-
tracts vary from $50 tolsS0O or 5000.
John Riley, contractor from Eaton
county, and one of the best, has had
about 81, 500 worth of work this last
last summer and fall. III. Weatherby,
of OwossO, has bid in and secured
about $1,000. Both employ men and
teams enough to push the work and are
among the number who could secure
the best of recommendation from the
retiring commissioner.
In his work with contractors as we'll
as in various other places, Mr.. Mason
found no blank forms to help him in
the work, so he set to work and, as he
gained experience, devised and improv.
ed such forms until he can keep track
of contractors work until it is finish
ed and paid for with the least labor and
the greatest accuracy. At present there
are a great many drain commissioners
throughout the state who have availed
themselves of the fruits of his labors,
and are using blanks of the forms de-
vised by him.
The various changes made in the
drain law in 1895 and 1897 were explain
ed with special reference to the require
ments in the matter of applications.
The law of 1895 as originally drafted
was perfectly satisfactory in this respect
| but mistake somehow crept in before
it was placed upon the statute books,
which made it even worse than the old
law. 1t was only by the most careful
planning that any drains could be laid,
as the wording of the law gave almost
unlimited opportunities to kickers for
hindering the work. Mr.. Mason, how
ever anticipated Supreme Court de-
cision on the law and all his work stood.
The law of 1897 is perfectly satisfactory
in this respect and makes it practically
impossible for kicker or speculator to
stop the building of a drain where there
are those who need it and wish it.
In regard to the abolishment of the
township drain commissioners, Mr.. Ma
son said that the county drain commits
sioners had nothing whatever to do with

The remarks of James +. Kelly as to
"The Future" were brief and full of
spirit He said he had looked into
Gods Word, expecting to find some
thing there as to the future for Gods
people, but always found that in some
way or another the promise depended
on the people. He thought, however.
much depended on the class leader.
He had never known of but one class
leader whom he considered ideal, but
he mentioned some of his good quail
ties. He said he used to think that all
the good fruit of religion came after
this life, but now he believes that we
GO into Canaan, the land of perfect love
and sanctification before we die. The
church is sure to receive its Inheritance
and its boundaries will stretch out on
every side, if it fully follows God.
By this time the time was so far spent
that the pastor, Rev. G.. f. Hill, defer
red his remarks until another time, and
the meeting was closed with song and
prayer.

through, hence nothing shows on the
records The importance of the records
is well illustrated by the following table
which covers total of 143 drains of a
total length exceeding 800 miles. The
records show every district ever assessed
by Mr.. Mason, every description of land
which was assessed the amount of the
assessment, and other details Then
the financial record book shows where
every dollar expended on every drain
went to, even to the division of the
drain and the contractor to whom and
for what it was paid. Some improve
ment over the previous years when no
records at all were kept in permanent
form. The table is as follows:
