plain the Importance of their objects
OF to stimulate your zeal for it's pres
ervation. What l have here said is
In the superstition that the danger
to the salt works, which induced you
to go down that way, is not so great
as to require the whole force you may
be able to get together to guard
against 1t.
L do not mean to neglect the pre-
cautions necessary for their security;
they are too much important, but as
the defense of Red Bank is an object
of the greatest moment l wish you
would do as much as you possibly
can toward 1t consistent with a prop
er degree of attention to the salt
works. If circumstances are not such
as to make your presence essentially
necessary there, l would wish you to
command the body of militia you may
be able to spare for Red Bank"

ened that unless the fort was instant
ly surrendered no quarter would he
given. Colonel Greene's reply was:
1--WE ask no quarter, nor will we give
any" The Hessians were defeated
with a loss of 200 men. The Ameri-
cans lost 81 killed and wounded.
Donop himself was wounded and died

cred around him at different times,
while he would tell them his story,
substantially as follows:
"When l was seventeen years old,
a recruiting sergeant calling for vol
unteers for the American army under
General Washington, at the siege OF
Boston, came along. l wished to go
and join my country's army, and al
though my mother and sister tried to
dissuade me, and wept and begged l
would not go, l enlisted for three
months. When measured to see II 1

stretched myself up all that was posi-
BILE, and then was Just able to pass.
IN March, 1916, it was determined
by General Washington to build
breastworks upon Dorchester heights.
l was in a company from Eastman,
commanded by Capt. Solomon Hlg-
gins. and assisted in the work.
1--WE were prepared with spades,
crowbars, shovels, picks, etc., and
when the evening of the fourth OF
March came, none thought of sleep
ing. The working party consisted OF
1900, with a covering party of 500.
We reached the place unobserved by
the enemy, and set to work with all
possible dispatch, and before morn
ing we had thrown up a breastwork
sufficient to shelter us; but still kept
at work, relieving each other only to
eat. 1t was expected that the Eng
fish would leave Boston with troops,
and proceed to drive us from the new
fort, if they could not knock it down
with cannon balls. We prepared to
meet them by drawing up and placing
all around the fort large trees with
limbs attached, laying them bush end
out, so that they must stop and cut
their way through them before reach
ing the fort. Before this, men had
been employed in Dorchester woods
filling barrels with clay and stone
and heading them up strong. These
barrels were had in readiness the
first day, to roll down the hill and
thus break and cut up the ranks Of
the enemy should they attempt to
come upon us. 1t was told afterward,
that in the morning the English COM
mander, after looking with his spy
glass at our works, dashed the glass
to the ground, and exclaimed: All
the fishes of the sea have turned to
men and are swarming the hills at
the same time ordering the cannon to
fire upon our works, which they did
all day. but with little damage to
us.

A company formed by num-
Der of the farmers of this vicin-

fine black percheron stallion re-
Gently shipped in here from the

barn for sale. This horse won
first prize at the Ohio state fair
in 1908 in the two-year-old perch

magnificent animal. The price
paid is said to be $4,000. Among
the members of the company are
Gus Wickman, Fred Cole, G. A.
Pangborn, George Schleirer and
VIM. Holman, and ohters whose
names were not learned. One OF
the encouraging indications in
this country is the disposition
shown to improve the class OF
stock raised by the importation
of the very best of breeding ami
mails, and this means better price
and greater satisfaction in the
stock business.

competent witness in the case,
