the bridge, and the men who We're occupying
positions Of extreme peril on the north side
of the river were wondering why ii did not
come to their aid. Captain Van Houghten
finally went back across the bridge accom-
panied by several of his men, and asked
why the gun was not brought up. He was
told that it was impossible to take it across
the bridge, as it would have to be dis
mantled and carried in sections and that it
would take two or three men to carry the
gun itself "Unlimber it and put it on my
shoulder" said Van Houghten, who saw the
urgent need of it to save the day "and I'll
carry it over myself" And he did, clinging
to the railing with one hand and edging
painfully along the narrow stringer, about
four inches wide, which was all he had to
walk on. The gun weighs 240 pounds, and
Van Houghten, who was formerly black
smith and a very powerful man of fine
physique, strained himself, not being fully
recovered yet.
| The gun carriage was taken over the
bridge by the men in charge OF 1t. assisted
by some men of Company d, and. scaling the
obstructions placed at the end of the bridge
by the insurgents, they set up the gun, and
with the aid of the infantry fire the trenches
were cleared and the American troops moved
into them. Without the gun Huntington
and his little band, as well as Companies
d and +, would probably have been cut off,
as the enemy was reforming, and, seeing the
small force opposed to it, seemed debating
as to the adviSabilty of charge.
Van Houghten refuses to consider his ex-
! plot anything out OF the ordinary.
Amy one would have done the same thing
under the circumstances" he protests, but
| nobody else did Ii and il was an emergency
that demanded prompt action.

The Grand Trunk Railway officials
have shut off the supply of free passes
from the Nermonters since acquiring
control of the Central Vermont rail
road, and the Nermonters feel almost
as if they were living under new
form of government. Hitherto the
people of that state have been
divided into two classes - those
who rode free on the late Gregory
Smiths railroad and those who did
not. The former class constituted an
aristocracy. 1t consisted of the law
yers, editors, politicians, clergymen,
the rich men of the state generally
and everybody, in fact, with "a pull. .
TO abolish the immemolial privilege
of this noble band to ride free on the
states chief railroad system is a revo-
lutionary act. We feel justified in
predicting that the winter of 1899
1900 will be a colder one than many
persons in Vermont have experienced
for years. Hartford Times.
Not at all. There is not an editor.
as far as we know, but that is fully
satisfied with the new order of things.

Vertsing they do for the road and pay
for their transportation the same as
everybody else. They like it. too.

''The gentle, innocent pastoral farm

who regards the privilege of abusing,
