its militia were called out in occasional alarms, they suffered only in one more battle ; but that was the saddest and most sanguinary of all.
In the fall of 1779 General Sullivan, by order of Washington, inflicted a terrible chastisement upon those tribes of the Six Nations which had entered into an alliance with Great Britain, and in connection with the tories committed fearful atrocities the preceding year, at Wyoming and elsewhere.
During the ensuing winter this visitation was bitterly retaliated upon the friendly Oneidas, and in the summer of 1780 the Tarians under the chiefs, Brant and Corn Planter, combined with Sir Joe Johnson and other tories who had been driven from their homes in the Moluk valles to pursue their vengeance in that lovely region. The valley was a Invari ons farming country in which a harvest of usual abundance was ripening, upon which Washington's commissariat was known to place much reliance. Thus both policy and passion devoted the playsuit vil ley to rain.
In early summer. it becoming apparent that the homes on the More hawk, unless speedy measures were taken for their protection, would be visited by horrors like those of Wyoming. troops were collected them ; and, among others, a regiment of levies from the three in Berkshire. locally known as " the new Jevies." It is of nadition that the commml was first assigned to the senior colonel. John Ashley, of Sheffield, who proceeded to Albany where he was seized by an illness which afterward proved fatal. Col. Brown was in the city at the time, and consented to take his place ; his senior and friend assuring him that, especially after his late successes at Lakes George and Champlain, the Berkshire men would follow him more readily than any other officer. In is added thu! Col. Brown, being without his pistols, borrowed those of Col. Acht. which, when he was killed, became the booty of some planering saugo Ashley dying soon afterward the receipt for the pistols was found by his executors who collected pay for them from the estate of the moth who was killed as his substitute. There is something to say the least of the inaccuracy of tradition, in all this. The changes of conunders was doubtless made in the ordinary manter : the oficer next in rank suecool ing when his superior is invalided. The date of the appointment of the field and staff officers of the new levies was as follows: Col John Brown. July 14th ; Major Oliver Root, July 8th : Vljufant James Easton. July 17th : Quartermaster Elias Willard. July 17th : Surgeon Oliver Brog star. July 23d. All were of Pittsfield except Surgon Brewster, who was of Partridgefield. He was the ancestor of two prominent physicians of Pittsfield, one of whom. Dr. Oliver E, Brewster, was surgon of the sith Massachusetts regiment in the late civil war. Adjutant Easton was a soll of the colonel of the same name, and had done godt service At Banning ton. The appointment of the major before the edone and the officers appointed by him, and the taking of all the officers from the content part. ment, and all but one from the same town, is explained that when Hoog

was designated major the colonel was Ashley of Sheffield. Col. Brown probably welcomed the command the more readily because, Caughnawaga (now Rome, N. Y.), the place where he commenced the practice of law. was in the district which he was called to defend.
The regiment marched about the 20th of July, but we learn nothing of its movements until, on the 18th of October, we find it posted at Post Paris, a small block house about three miles north of the Moltask River. and in that part of the district of Stone Arabia which now forms the town of Palatine. Four days previous Sir John Johnson's hordes had set out on a grand mission of destruction through the fine valley of the Schoharie and the Mohawk ; and, wherever they had passed the devasto. tion was complete. The destroyers left unburned not one house. learn to stack of wheat which was known to belong to a whig: and hundreds of the patriotic inhabitants-men, women and children-were pitilessly murdered while flying or begging merey.
On the 18th Gen. Robert Van Rensselaer, an exceedingly sluggish commander, coming tardily, with a considerable body of New York mili- tia, to the relief of the distressed region, reached Canghiawaga, whirly flourishing village he found still in flames. so recently had the cnopay left it. Learning here that Fort Paris, which was about twelve miles dia tant, was to be attacked the next day, he sent orders for Colonel Brown to march out in the morning and form a junction with his own force. in order to anticipate the enemy's plans by a joint attack.
Many of the officers seem to have considered the movement as insole- ing more hazard than could reasonably be taken : some even comsollyal disobedience of orders. The men shared this feeling of distrust. Off of them-Giles Parker, of Adams, whose courage had not filed under the severest tests- came to the colonel in the morning and warned him to forego his march, relating at the same time an ominous drenni of the pre ceding night, which had depressed his spirits. .. What !" Poliund his commander. " Are you too afraid to go! Then stay behind Thị sốT dier indignantly protested that " he had fought by his side many a time. and that it was not for himself that he feared but for his colonel." Firele ing him seriously impressed with the belief that evil would attend the march. Colonel Brown serionsly advised him to remain in the fort : Font the noble fellow claimed his right to share the perils of his commandes. and was one of the first to fall under the murderous the of the savage.
The one thing which Colonel Brown ferred was tlug a barile in which he had a right to take part would be fought without him. Each in the morning of the 19th of October-his thirty fifth birthday -he therefore sallied ont from Fort Paris with abont 200 men. to form a junction with Van Rensselaer, in obedience to orders. He had marched some two neles. when, at a little distance on his right a man was seen mounting a horse which stood before a respectable looking farm house and was surrandol by a family group. The horseman tode directly up to Major Root, why was in advance, and inquired if he commanded the party. Colonel Brown

was pointed out to him, marching in the rear. Approaching him the stranger stated that he was directed by General Van Rensselaer to inform him that by proceeding down a road which turned to the left. instant of the one he was pursuing, he would better effect the proposed janetion.
The new route seemed a convenient detour around the region where the smoke of burning buildings now began to indicate the proate of the enemy, and, the well arranged family scene helping io werist caf sus picion, unfortunate credence was given to the stranger without Dighed guarantees and without detaining hin asia hostage bir his good fairly

The regiment had advanced well jute. this treacherous cul de-sac -- the colonel and major being both now at this head of the column -- when a sergeant near them exclaimed. " So that damned Indian !" and immediately discharged his musker. At over the woods resounded with savage yells, and a thousand muskets, gluffing from behind sheltering trees, poured in a rapid and murderous fire man the entrapped and bewildered troops. Colonel Brown, who was made conspicuous by his fine person and his official sich, was shot through the heart by the first discharge, and fell upon his face without a word up a struggle.
An attempt to restore order among the panic stricken sobliegy would have been worse then useless : officers and men fled precipitately toward the fort. There was no lack of vigor in the pursuit, but the irresistibile impulse to tomahawk and scalp the wounded delayed the savages and enabled a large portion of the fugitives to escape. Major Root saw me man crawl into the woods and hide himself, while his over eager pur suers rushed on without heading him : but he thought that almost every one of the seriously wounded was killed and scalped. He reports the number of killed as forty.
The fort was filled with women and children who had fled from the surrounding country, and their shrieks and mornings added to the con fusion as the flying soldiers crowded in disorder through its gres For tunately Major Root had been trained in a school which rendered him familiar with such scenes as well as with the character of the enemy with which he had to deal : having in his youth been one of Major Roger's famous corps of forest rangers, in which John Stuk and Ismael Patuan were officers. He knew well that the fort could not resist a vigorous assault from the foes who, eager to attack it, now thronged the edge of the clearing ; but he also know the terror with which "big guns " in- spired the warriors of the woods, and was convinced by the teurouts with which they exposed themselves that they Indioved him destitute of artil lery. But, by rare good fortune, the wretched little fortress was sup- plied with one poor little dwarf of a four-rounder; although the aring nition for it was limited to a single ball and Three four ges of poder

A charge of horse chains next went singing through the air to their still greater consternation. But in the meza- while, by order of the major, they had been broken into small frazmenis and the gun charged with them. These mysterious projectiles cifue screaming and shrieking among the besiegers who conbl not divino thois nature. Their dismay was complete, and they plunged spentily jon the shelter of the woods. Even the tory officer who exported them did not recognize the true character of the missiles, or if he did. was not shrewd enough to detect the scarcity of ammunition which to il strange- ness indicated : for he gave over the attack, remarking what he " hand a mind to take that fort by storm ; but it would cost too many lives." Ilid he suspected the defenseless state of the place and actually made the assault it would have cost but few lives, except of those within. of whom few would have been spared.
The New York militia rallied to the support of Van Rensselaer in such numbers that the Berkshire regiment was able to return home on the 21st, leaving the remains of their gallant commander in the grave yard at Stone Arabia.
