THE VERMONT PHOENIX, BRATTLEBORO FRIDAY, JULY

Blanchard's brook. The men were return
ing home, each carrying a sack of flour,
and on the discovery of the red men, all
dropped their loads, advanced to the rise of
land in front, sprang to their feet, gave a
whoop, and dropped back again into the
ferns This had the desired effect, for in.
stantly the Indians arose in semicircle
around the path which Bellows was to fol
low. This gave the men a splendid oppor'
tunity, and the volley which greeted them
so Disconnected them, that they fell back
at once, and Col Bellows and his men re-
turned to the fort without further mishap
The Indians next appeared on the eminence
east of Kilburn's house, and the Indian
Philip, who had become acquainted with the
whites previously, and knew some English
screening himself behind tree, called out
to the settlers to surrender, promising to
give good quarter.
After few minutes consultation the In
dians gave the war-cry and began the at
tack. Kilburn managed to get in the first
shot, before the smoke INSTRUCTED his view,
| and he had the satisfaction of seeing the
first Indian fall, whom he supposed was
Philip. 1t is claimed that about 400 bullets
lodged in kilburns cabin at the first fire.
kilburn and his men kept up all incessant
fire, and when the supply of bullets be-
came low the women suspended blankets
under the roof of the house to catch
the balls of the enemy, which were instant
| ly remeted and turned into bullets, which
were returned to the Indians with equal
| velocity. The Indians made several at
tempts to break in the doors, but were re.
| pulsed each time with great loss.
The battle lasted until nearly sundown,
] bAI f., "a
| evening came on the sound of the guns and
the cry Of the warwhoop died away into 81
lence. "Quarter' shouted back old Xii
burn, with voice that rang through every
Indians heart and every hill and valley,
You black rascals BECOME or well quarter
YOU
This encounter proved all etfectual check
to the expedition Of the Indians, and in
short time they returned to Canada Dur
ing the whole of the Indian aud French
war, which continued until 1863, the In
dians never again made their appearance il
this locality, and the settlers were left un
molested. A number of arrow heads anC
other small relics are found on the battle
field nearly every year, and several skele
tons are possessed by persons living arounC
here which have been dug up at various
times.
Only few years ago skeleton was un
earthed near where kilburn's cabin stood
and the skull had a bullet hole through it
The skull is now in case in the Bridge me

pointed out to the visitor as probably tina
of the chief Philip
According to tradition, John Kilburn an,
his daughter once spent the night on tn
top of Mount Kilburn, John keeping watc
while his daughter slept. An Indian, VIII
discovered their presence, suddenly spran
from the bushes and attacked Kilburn, an
in the fight which ensued, the Indian wa
hurled headlong from the point now know
as Table Rock.

The Republican town committee, con
sisting of Dr. G. H. Gorham, Dorr NJ
Thayer, Frederick H. Babbitt and Ma
thaniel l. Divoll, held meeting on Satur
day evening in DR.. Gorhams office. 1t
was proposed to use the same method OF
calling out the voters which was employed
two years ago, namely, to divide the town
into about 80 election districts, and to ap,
point captains, who shall be held respon-
sible for the voters in the sections that are
assigned to them. This will make each
captain responsible for 20 or 30 men, and
it is hoped that this plan will result in
bringing large number to the polls at the
September elections. ~. I'd III

A Big Bug In His Ear.

LII Northrup had decidedly unpleas,,
ant experience Wednesday evening, and
one he will not care to repeat. W hlle sit
ting near the electric light on his piazza on
Cherry street large,sized bug flew into
his ear 1t was over half an inch long,
with hard shell and exceedingly sharp
toes. 1t completely filled the orifiee and
quickly scratched his way in as tar as Tn
ear drum, decorating that as well as Tn
nner ear in its endeavors to turn around;
surgeon was summoned and the Palntul
visitor removed. Mr. Northrup has his
captive now preserved in alcohol, and he
exhibits it to the boys who try to put a
flea in his ear" as a memento of a half
hours acute suffering.

Nothing Done TO Assure Free Delivery
of Mails.

Inquiry as to what has been done by the
village authorities to put the streets in con
dition so free delivery of mails could be es-
tablished here, as was voted recently to he
done, shows that no progress has been
made. The numbering of the houses Of the
place officially is the only thing known TO
be lacking. The village voted that it be
done, but the bailifs, feeling the citizens
had but little interest in the matter, have
done nothing No correspondence has
passed between the local post office and the
department regarding it, as there is moth
ing to be said until they can inform them
the streets are numbered as required by
law The bailffs think the expense should
be paid by the house owners instead of the
corporation, and no one seems enough in
terested in the matter to take the lead, or
assume responsibility in any form The
present prospect is that it will be some
time before those who wish it, which i,
but a small part of the total citizenship
will be able to have their mail delivered al
their doors as is done in other places of this
size.
