Capt Martin, who, when commanding the
whaler Enterprise, was the last person 10
communicate with SIR John Franklin.
The Enterprise was alongside the Ere
bus IA Melville Bay, aud SIR John lngiied
Capt Martin TO dine with him, which the
latter declined doing as the wind was far
to 90 south. Sir John. while conserslng
with Captain Martin: told him THAI he had
live years provisions, which he could make
last seven, aud his people were busly en-
gagged IA sailing down birds, of winch they
had several casks full already, and twelve
men were out shooting BIRDS
To see such determination and foresight
at that early period is really wonderful, aud
must give US the greatest hopes.
| asked Capt. Martin why he had not
mentioned this belorel He said that he did
not at first think 1t # any Importance, aud
that when Lady Franklin was at Peterhead

Vermont has history peculiar TO her
self II finds no parallel m the history of
any sister state. Her first settlers were
drawn from the colonies of Massachusetts,
New Hampshire and Connecticut, and pos
sessed those characteristics that So strongly
marked the people of those colonies. ln-
ielhgent, shreWd, and thoughtful, sell-de-
pendent, brave, enduring, deeply religious,
they had clear perception of their rights
as men, aud all the physical, mental aud
moral qualities that enabled them to do bat
tie for those rights, m every field. They
were the most lIberty-oyIng of a liberty
! loving people They were the most cour-
ageous of people whose courage has new
er been doubted, aud often proved on the
tented field aud at the cannou's mouth
Hardy, enterprislng, aud adventurous, with
stout hands aud unialierlng hearts, they
left the loved haunts of civilization, and
faced the terrors of new home amidst
mountain SHOWS, aud surrounded by hostile
Indians. The circumstances IN winch they
were placed tended TO deyelope, with stll
greater force, that love of liberty that al
ways glowed in their bosoms The scenery
about them mad lis influence.
