Town Nnn~s.

In your paper Of Nov. 9th. have read
piece taken from the New York Observer.
over the signature of "P. II. W." stating
that the town of Danville in your county, re-
ccived its name from n French Admiral, NAM
ed de Awhile, and that the town was so
npE9cd by General Ethan Allen, at the sug-
ge5tion of Hector St, John de Crevceeur, the
Frence consul at New York, who had nided
Allen in his efforts TO get Vermont into the
Union us an Independent State. Now all
this may be, but there arc one or two things
which should be granfed to have explained.
The man who up. II. w" calls Admiral de
AWHILE, was, as presume, the Duke de An
willie, who commanded the French armament
of forty ships which was sent against the
then British colonies, in the year l746, which
armament was scattered and destroyed b,
most terrific storm, and when dc Awhile. i'm
fit OF despair committed suicide. / should
like to know whether this was the man for
whom Danvile was named. Thcreis another
fact which strikes me as somewhat strange.
Admiral de AWHILE died by his own hand in
l7l6, and it was at least 40 yenrs after when
Vermont became a stnte, aud farther. dc An
wins 'wasNn enemy to the eeleaieS. and met
his death when coming in arms against them.
Is It likely that tho lion-like conquerer of II
conderoga would have perpetuated in the
name Of a town this French Admiralp Per-
haps up. II. w" will explain. While writ
ing, VIII venture to ask another question:
In the same piece tahcn from the Observer,
it is stated that the town Of Lyndon was
named for Josiah arnold, son of DR.. Jona-
than Arnold, one Of the principal proprietors.
Is this nm error Of the press, or are we to un-
derstand it as written nbovep
