The front of the house was left standing.

WATER SHUT OFF. Beavers Built Dams On All Streams That Supplied Town. That busy little beavers nearly shut off the water supply of Emporium, l'a., with its 2,500 inhabitants, is a statement made by Carl Henson, assistant I game protector in that district, in a ! story dealing v. ith the state comtnis- | slon's efforts to restore tlie beaver to 1 its place among the fur-bearing ani- : mals of the state. Several years ago the commission ] released four beavers, which were proourc?l in Maine, at a secluded spot in the woods near a running stream, three miles from Siscerviilo, in Cameron : county. The animals at once dammed the stream, constructed their mud i houses, with one story under water, and went to housekeeping. The natural increase in the colony ; made it necessary for the young beav- , eir at mating time to find new quar- | ters, and it was not long before all the streams of the watershed which j supplies Emporium were dammed by the animals, causing the town extreme , inconvenience . in dry weather, when little water escaped the dams.

The neglect of this memorable field, where the tide of victory turned in favor of the colonists, made a profound impression upon the representative from the Fourth district. It has been allowed to grow up in briars and scrub timber, and the single road which leads up the hillside is almost impassable. Surely there should be a caretaker here as well as at Cowpcns. Both of these battlefields are now very near to one of the most important highways of travel in the South, and if they were made properly accessible and kept in condition as national military parks they would be objects of interest and inspiration to thousands of people from all parts of America. The descendants of the men who won the buttle of King's Mountain were the men who, later led in the winning of the West. Theodore Roosevelt in one of his letters to Trcvelyan confessed that few things had ever stirred him as deeply as his study of this fight and he showed, notably in his life of Benton, that he had appraised with wonderful insight the character of the men who fought with Shelby and Campbell and Cleveland and Williams and who helped then and later to set up tlie soundest j traditions in America.?Charleston 11 News and Courier.
