An Unrecorded Hero.
We have all read of the intrepid
ecu rage of "Green Mountain Hoys,' at
the time of the revolutionary war. and
the u»ua! supposition is that all those of
i a patriotic tjiirit were to I»« found in
i the ranns ot the American arrnv; but
truny a hrive man jterliaps by tin" f iree
of circumstances, wi- obliged t > tarrv
at heme. 1
At the tiriif the following incident
( occurred the B"iti«h wt-re in possession
of Fort 'J iconderoga, an 1 the towns for
many miles arounu were subject to law
less depredations of the "red coats,"
which aroused the just indignation of
ail who favored the "patriotic cause."
But as a little free speech often de
prived a man of liUrty, it was thought
best (using a homely expression > to grin
j and bear it.
One day a company of British sol
diers, numbering al»out twenty, iu pass
ing through the town of Cornwall,
\ erniont, lingered around long enough
to plac- a certain secrt-t mark on the
house of every person suspected or
known to favor the patriots, that others
ot the "King's Own''who should fol
l low after would know by this mystic
j sign where to find friend or foe.
Now this raised the ire of one man
in particultr, who determined to cir
cumvent theni by a little plot he had
formed in his own mind So, tuking
the Briti-h officer aside and speaking
in a cautious manner, this person,
(Blodget by name; »aid: ".Say, now be
you goin* to Ticonderogar" but with
out waiting for :i reply continued, "for
if you be me anil some of my neigh
bors want to go along with ye. We've
been waiting for some chance like this
* for a long time, and if you'll just
' march out of town, so as not to excite
1 suspicion, you see, and will wait for us
at a certain spot I can tell ye of, why,
I'll see the other men and we'll join
| there. What say you*"
Now the army, both on the American
and British side, was always willine to
take new recruits whenever offered,
, and as this man's story seemed plausi
; ble enough, the British captain willing
ly acceded to the proposal of Blodget,
who thereupon proceeded to appoint a
rendezvous which was where the public
highway or road whs cat through a
ledge of limestone rock, forming a wall
| some ten feet high on either side, on
; lop of which was a stunted growth of
trees. Blodget requested the officer to
wait there a certain length of time, and
they would make all expedition in join
ing him.
As soon as Blodget saw the soldiers
out of sight, he hastily mounted his
hors.* and started out to iuforin his
go<»d "Whig" neighbors of his inten
tions. It ueeded but a few words in
those days to rouse a person's patriot
ism, «o each man, taking down his
trusty tirelock, or old fusee, with no
military outfit, except tho three-crown
ed hut of (Gen.!) Blodget, which be had
fortunately discovered in some old rest
ing place, they proceeded by a much
shorter route to the point of rendezvous,
»o that tliey time t."> secrete them
selves among ttit: bushes ut tho further
end of the Limestone pass before the
Britishers came up According to
Morn'* Hixtory, published some GO years
ugo, military tactics in those duys were
not by any m«ans perfect; even Gen.
Putnam overpowered by strategy lath
er than numbers. Soon wrs heard the
heavy tramp, tramp, tramp «f the sol
diers as they marched into the pass,
where they wera expecting to halt at
the further end and wait for the recruits
to join them, but when midway be
tween either opening, with groat rocks,
us impenetrable as prison walls, rising
on two sides of them, even obstrncting
tho sunlight for the time, they were as
tonished at hearing a stentorian voice
c>J "halt!" Tlioy stopped, surprised,
when the impromptu Gen. Blodget,
who had reined his horse directly in
front of the opening, commanded them
to lay down their arms and surrender.
At first the officer attempted to parley,
but Blodget knew it would not do to
liive theui time to coupler the position,
so lit! again cried in n loud voice, amid
a great flourish of arms tin the hack
ground). "First platoon, ri-e ami ."
But there was no necessity for him tu
add "fire I'' as the captain, supposing
themselves to be surrounded by a large
body of American soldiers, by * sign
gave the other to understand Unit he
would surrender. Tin n Blo<lgct ordered
the twenty men to walk off some paces,
s'urk their arms and fall back again.
Having done so, he ordered five of his
own company to take possession of
them, and as the jict wit till (h< mm '•>*
IOU'II mutter, strange as it may appear,
they really marched the twenty men as
prisoners of war, not to Ticonderoga,
but to General Stark, then at Benning
ton, Vermont.— Rxh-tUr Union.

The Watervillo (Me.) M<iU is publish
ing extracts from the diary of the lata
Asa Kedingtun, of Waterville, who was
a revolutionary soldier. The strange
incident related below happened in
New Salisbury, N. H . in 1874 while he
was working for a Mr. Greeley: "An
elderly lady by the name of Bailey,
and ot wbotu it was said she was a lover
of toddy, happened to be at the barn
one day, * hen there came on a heavy
shower of rain ami thunder, during
which periix! the prince of darkness ap
peared unto her; in consrqinr.ee of
some valuable promises made to her.
she eutered into contract with him,
agteeing to give herself up. both body
and soul, to his internal majesty, at a
certain hour on a certain day. and in
•about sia days after this interview
When the storm was over the goM lady
returned to the house and gave them a
history of what had taken place, ad
ding that ste had signed and M?a..il
the contract with her own blood, show

i hurt h to the regions of despair, and on
the day named for the exhibition he
should by c»nsent of the church then
present appoint a meeting, and wished
that it any one pres-ent had aay objec
tions he would make it known. A
pause then ensued, and not even a whis
per was heard. The minister then said
he should, and accordingly did, appoint
thii meeting. On tint important day a
multitude of persons id all ages and
sext-s a-semblcd in Mr. lVttingill's or- ,
chard on an elevated piece of ground,
measure, having been previously taken
t<» have ten or twelve ministers from the
neighboring loans to attend at the
netting, and they accordingly appeared
on thi' ground in due season for the ex
ercise. The good old lady was then in
troduced and placed in the centre of the
multitude, ttie ministers forming a cir
cle around her, then another circle com-!
posed of deacons, elders, and mcin
liers of the churches present, ami
then in the rear of those the multitude
formed in a close column. Everything
then being prepared for action, and at
lf-a«t one hour before the time ap[<ointed i
for his satanic* majesty to make his
appearance, the exercises began by ;
singing, praying and supplications, all
in iavor of tho good old lady and 1
against the tempter, which continued
till five P. m., it being several hours
after the time appointed for the ex
plosion, and no smell of brimstone or
appearance of danger, the multitude
b-gan to disperse, and the lady was j
delivered t> her friends, and by sunset
'he ground wa% cleared. Mr. Greeley
early in the day geared up his old steed
with saddle and pillion, went a num
ber of times, taking the females of his
family, on to the ground in season, and
returning home in the same way, which i
was not accomplished till nearly dark.
I did not attend at this scene of folly,
but the meeting took place in sight of
where I was hoeing corn in Mr. Gree
ley's field, and I could plainly see the
gatheriug multitude at the place of
action. The particulars of what took ,
place at tho meeting I bad from sev- j
eral persons present. My brother, Th®s.
Redington, then resided near Mr. Gree
ley's, and had a knowledge of the j
transaction and recollects it."
