The Wilmington Conference Acad-

yesterday to give the Delaware College
boys the throw down, but, instead, the
college boys took it in their heads to
give the visitors good sound trouncing,
and did il to the tune of AZ toe
The way the Newark eleven made
touchdowns made the to-be preachers
heads swim, and play as they would
they were unable to checS the onward
tide of defeat.
1t was very unequal contest, and
only interesting SO far as it gave line
on the strength OF the old gold and blue,
and showed that Pete Rice's coaching
has been great benefit to them.
The features of the game were VOLTS

kicking liartnan and Huxley played
up to their old time form, which means
unusual good playing. Conner was

Comm ,dore Dewey was born at
Montpelier 60 years ago and was APP
pointed to the naval academy from
this state in September 1854. -Four
years later, when he was graduated,
he was sent aboard the steam frigate
Wabash for cruise 10 the Mediler-
ranean. Dewey got his commission
as lieutenant on April 19, 1861,
eight days after Fort Sumter was
fired upon, aud he was Immediately
assigned to join the Mississippi and
do duty with The West Gulf squad
ron. He was on the Mississippi
when she took part with Farragut's
other vessels in forcing an entrance
to the Mississippi river and again
when the feet ran the gauntlet of fire
from the forts below New Orleans in
April, 1862, and forced the surrender
of that city. The ship he was in
belonged 10 Capt Baiiey's division
of The fleet which attacked Fort ST.
Philip.
The hottest fight that the Mississip
pi ever engaged in was her last one,
and this was perhaps as hot as any OF
the war. In March, 1868, the fleet
tried TO run by the confederate bat
telies at Port Hudson. Some Of the
ships got as far as a narrower part OF
the chaunei, where they met land bat
teries almost muzzle TO muzzle, and
then they were forced to retreat. The
Mississippi did not get as far as tins.
A foggy day had been chosen for the
attempt, and this was soon made
more obscure by the smoke Of battle,
and amid this the Mississippi lost hel
bearings and ran ashore.
Her officers found that she had
struck just under the guns OF bat
terry in the middle Of the line of for
tlfcations and one of the strongest of
the lot. In half an hour 25O shots
struck the vessel and she was rlddled
from end to end. There was no
chance to hold her, and her crew took
to their boats and landed on the op
posite side of the river, after setting
her on fire. Soon, lightened by the
loss OF the crew and by the fire, she
drfted off, and, blazing and saluting
with bursting SHELLS, she drifted down
the river, until finally the fire reached
her magazines, and her career was
ended in one great explosion.
Dewey was next attached to the
steam gunboat Agawam of the north
Atlantic blockadmg squadron, and he
took part in the two attacks made on

oUTH LONDONDERRY, VT, FRIDAY MORNING, MAY g. 1898.


We had occasion few weeks ago
to speak of the intelligence of our
people as shown by the extensive
reading facilities they pay for, and
this includes not only the village but
the town and its vicinity. To this
is to be added intense patriotism, not
excelled by any people on the face Of
the earth. We have no knowledge
of any "peace-at. any-price" man or
woman, or one that would endorse
such a speech as johnson of Indiana
made in Congress, with one excep-
ton, fellow, new conner, at the
North village. But we learn that his
mouth has to be shot off, any way.
Our Londonderry friends should adj
wise him that these are war times and
such mouth is subject to blockade !
