Engineer Melvlle's trying experience

The pole is reached he says. "a vast

To Our Subscribers.

The FREEMAN has been sold to William
W. Prescott, the proprietor of the WaIch.
man. The paper will be merged in the
Watchman and the latter supplied TO
subscribers of the FREEMAN-those who
have paid in advance receiving the Watch
man without further charge to the end Of
the time paid for, while those in arrears
will settle therefor with Mr.. Prescott.
The GREEN MOUNTAIN FREEMAN was
established in 1874 by Joseph Poland who
for ii years conducted it. 1t was well
namc,l and we hope has always deserved
its Lame. 1t was founded as an anti
slavery paper and was one. 1t began
when the slave power ruled the nation and
was in its field helper TO break that
power whose death it saw.
In 1849 it was sold to Jacob Scott and
in 1850 to Daniel P. Thompson, during
whose ownership Joseph w. Wheelock
became connected with the paper, Of
which he eventually became the propri'
e'or. In 1855 Sidney S. Bryce became
proprietor and so remained until 1861
when the paper was bought by Charles W
Willard who during his ownership made
it by his earnestness and great ability y
strongland influential journal. The editor
and his newspaper were independent and
worth hearing and they were heard to.
From 1869 10 1873 the FREEMAN was
Jointly owned by Mr.. Willard and JOSEPH
w. Wheelock. In the last named yea
Mr.. Wheelock became sole proprietor ant
so remained till his death in February
1876. 1t was his aim to keep the FREE
MAN worthy of keeping up with its reader
the acquaintance it had formed under Mr.
Wizards conduct of it. And we think hi
had as good measure of success AS a right
minded man with good "newspapc
sense" could have well expected.
Since his death Herbert r. Wheelock, +
son of Joseph w., has been the proprietor
