Dewey took chances against the tor

well manned land and naval force. His
marvellous success is only to be account

Village of Fishermen.

A village inhabited by from 100 to
$50 individuals all of one name, and
all following the calling of fishermen,
is indeed unique Such, however, is a
very pretty little place named Bucks,

attractions ali visitors will be priv.

Two years after Tieonderoga the Brit
ish mustered up courage to attack the
Green Mountain boys ON their own soil.
The experiment was never repeated. 1t
happened at Bennington, where a de-
tachment Of Hessians from Burgoyne's
army appeared, having for allies bands
Of Tories and Indians This was anoth-
er case where by all the rules of war
the Britons should have had things
their own way. They set out to cap
ture an unguarded supply Of rich stores
and arms, but there was Green Noun
tain boy abroad who had been at Bunk
err Hill, Trenton and Princeton. His
name was Stark. General Stark was
at that date the fall of 1877, the COM
mander of the militia of the mountain
region. His followers had taken up
arms for the public defense, lured by
the magic Of his name. He had been
ordered by the Continental authorities
to march his militia south, but for
reasons he thought wise had refused to
do so until ordered by the assembly Of
the province. 1t was sound reservation.
Willy Green Mountain scouts brought
word home that Burgoyne had his eyes
ON Bennington, so convenient to the
borders of the region where he was oper-
ating. Like the highland chieftain of
Scottish romance, Stark blew a war
blast on his whistle. Then down from
the mountain crests and out from the
leafy glens tumbled the yeomen to repel
the invaders. 1t looked like rash I'M
dertaking. The British plot was to
march the Hessians in from the west
bring the savages from the mountains
and unite with the Tories in and around
Bennington Stark S men had no bayo-
nets and were short of powder and ball
But there were wealthy men in those
green hills even at that early date.
They pledged their fortunes to fit out
Stark for BATTLE and in five hours Of
what he called the hottest fighting he
ever saw he conquered, slaughtered and
put to fight the entire British force.
After that the Green mountains had
peace, and Stark S heroic followers swell
ed the ranks of Washington s Continen-
tai army.

LOCAL MAIL DELIVERIES.
A Reduction in Carriers Will I'M
pair the Service.
The POstOffice People Are Hopeful
That 1t May Be
Prevented.

The retrenchment in the free delivery
| system of the Postoffice Department
| made imperative by the probable de-
| ficit of from 100000 to sl50,000. will
| affect seriously the delivery of mail in
| Washington. The Postoffice Depart
ment. to make this city bear its share
| Of the cut directed Postmaster Will
| lett to reduce the local carrier force TO
Us men. This is a curtaiiment of
twelve carriers. This reduction will go
| into effect, if at all, on February l.
The idea OF the department is that
where there are four deliveries of mail
daily, the number shall be reduced 70
three, and where there are three daily
deliveries the number shall be reduced
to two. Thus, If the order of the Post
office Department stands, the business
sections of Washington will have three
deliveries instead of four and five. and
the residence parts Of the city viii
have but two.
AT present deliveries are made in the
business parts of the city at 1:30 a m,
1890, 12:15 and $3.50. There is a short
route which is delivered at $50 to ac-
commodate the mail brought from
New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore
on the fast New York and Washington
newspaper train" If the new order
goes into effect it is probable that the
$3.50, 1890 and 12:l5 deliveries will be
consolidated into one at about II
o'clock.
The residence parts of Washington
are now served by carrier at a. M.
1915 and $3.50. Under the proposed sys-
tenn, the last two deliveries will be con-
solidated into one at about 2:30 o'clock.
A reporter for The Times spoke with
many people yesterday afternoon on
this subject.
The officials at the Postoffice Depart
ment regretted the necessity for cur
tailment in this branch Of the service.
They had no option in the matter.
Their hands were tied. Carriers would
not deliver the mail without pay. and
the department did not have enough
of an appropriation to Pay the num-
Der of carriers required to maintain
the present service.
The officials dt the city postoffiCe
Were making preparations for the re-
duction, but they felt hopeful that it
would not be necessary to put ii into
execution. They felt that the intense
business pressure being brought TO
bear in opposition TO the curtailment
of deliveries would induce Congress TO
provide for the probable deficit.

not to b taken. The Postoffice De
partment is looked upon as d model
business institution. and now the
proposition is presented that il shall
retrograde instead OF advance. There
ought 10 be more deliveries instead Of
fewer"
Nearly everybody with whom The
Times man talked appeared To feel
that Congress would come to the re-
lief of the Postoffice Department. and
the threatened reduction OF force and
service would be aVerted.
