ANNEXATION or CANADA.

The Disastrous Attempt to ACCOMPLISH II
by Forco-A Famous Retreat.
The presen5 agitation concerning the re-
latiOns between Canada and the United
States recalls the time when the aunexa-
ton Of that country was proposed to be
brought about by force Of arms. The proj.
ect was entrusted to the brave General
Montgomery, assisted by the famous patri,
OTIS, Colonels Ethan Allen and Seth Warner.
While engaged in this invasion EthansAlleu
was taken prisoner by. the British and sent
to England, where he experienced very
harsh treatment. s-,',s
1t was Colonel Warner who twice con.
Quoted his men safely home, though the
march was constantly surrounded by dan
gers. Once Montgomery sent them home
because their time was out, and though
they were willing to continue in service,
they were without sufficient clothing, and
none could be had in that country.
Colonel Warner had hardly arrived home
before he heard that Montgomery had been
killed, and the cause, as well as the lives of
the men, were put in great jeopardy. He
for Canada to assist his countrymen in their
extremity. But his efforts were of no avail,
and it was soon found necessary to take uu
the line Of retreat.
It was the dead Of winter, and only ne
cessity sanctioned moving the troops. The
terror Of pursuit and the rigor of the sea-
son furnished sufficient cause for alarm and
haste. Colonel Warner remained with the
rear OF the army, and aided them in many
ways most ef7ectually, as~he was man
well posted in caring for the sick and this
knowledge now came into excellent use. 49,
He must keep the army in motion, not
day must be lost, and yet he was without
any chest OF medicines. But he understood
the medicinal use of roots and herbs, and of
proper care at critical times, and with these
allies, he made an efectual fight against
disease among his men.
When Ticonderoga was reached and the
roll called, thanks to Seth Warner but few
vacancies in the ranks appeared.
Col. Warner saved the lives Of hundreds
of men in this way, and he did a noble
work, but it remained for his namesaze, n.
II. Warner, head Of Warmers Safe Cure
establishment, to give the same kind Of
remedies then used to the people of today,
in "Warner's Log Cabin Remedies"
These remedies have been adopted after
thorough trial and investigation and they
are remedies of established reputation.
Being wholly vegetable, they can be used
without any fear as to the results.
Among the new remedies is a Sarsaparilla
for the blood, Hops and Buchu for the
stomach and digestion, Cough and Con-
sumption Remedy, Scalpine for the head
and hair, Rose Cream for that terrible dis
ease, catarrh, a Log Cabin Liver Pill, a Log
Cabin Plaster and an Extract for internal
and external use. Our readers may rest
assured that there is merit in every article.

"A skillful child was at once dispatched
to buy the materials for breakfast, and
they were well engaged in the FIRST meal
which they had eaten for several days,
when another party appeared upon the
stage. This time it was not the postman;
it was Colonel Sharp, to whom General
Glover's fourth letter had been written.
l wish could give the reader an idea OF
General Glover's description of Colonel
Sharp's methods. He sat, cheering all
parties by his lively talk-I wish We're
talking with him now-and when he saw
that the breakfast was well finished, he
took Needles with him to the great post
Office at Abydos. Colonel Sharp was a
pretty important person In that city, and,
breaking all lines Of defense, he soon found
himself with Mr.. Needles in the private
room OF the postmaster, whom, for the
purpose of this story, we will call Mr..
Rowland Hill. General Glover went on to
describe the interview. Ea. 81. 1T.
'.Sharp told Mr.. Hill that there was q

Hill shook hands with official cOrdiality, and

When one employee walks off to another
machine he has to squeeze by those at
work, and If two are carrying package
those at work on the machines which they
are compelled to pass, must quit their work
for the moment and step TO one side.
With little more room and an additional
book press, could get out the entire
series of school books required on time and
at less expense than those are being made
at present. What l desire is forty-foot
addition on the west side of the building.
This will give ample room in the bindery,
give us good-sized Job Office, which is now
cramped for room. 1t will also give us an
enlarged carpenter shop, where the men
can work to advantage, can store boxes
away, manufacture ahead, etc. You can
readily see the economy in such an i'm
provement. We can work much larger
force and TO much greater advantage with
no extra cost, except the labor of the opera
tives. 1t would take no more power, nor
water, nor insurance, and the wages of
watchmen. poIters, bookkeepers engineers,
etc, would remain the same, and would
give constant employment to a much larger
force of skilled labor. This would avoid
our having TO work over hours, as we did
last season, in order to accomplish the work
required by law.
When we get to making maps for the
biographies they VIII have 10 run through
the press several times in order to get the
different colors, and then you can readily
see that two book presses will not be able
to keep up with the work. The school
book revolving fund is doing well, and l
am satisfied that we can replace the books
at the present prices. We have made
careful computation of the cost of the
books, and are satisfied that nearly Sill
900 was lost by books not being placed at
the proper price at first"

A Druggists Palace.

One of the finest pharmaceutical estab-

at Seventh and & streets by Messrs. Hahn &
Washburne. 1t is on the southwest corner,
in the Capital Hotel block, and will be un-
der the management of John S. O'Calla-
han, most skillful druggist. The front is
of plate glass, iron columns, painted in
black, trimmed with gold, and the show
case on the corner is not excelled by any
other drug store in the city. Both of the
proprietors are old in the business /:
but still both Young and good looking.
They have neither spared pains nor ex-
pense in fitting ii up, and the interior is a
perfect palace, where are kept the ingredi-
ents that cure all the ills that the human
system is heir to. The counters consist of
glass show. cases, filed with the most at
tractive goods that are sold in the business,
and their stock is replete with novelties in
every line. Their shelving is incased with
glass doors, their apothecsry department
inciosed with glass, and every convenience

every line, has been observed. Joseph
Hahn is the well-known druggist at 430

Must Open the Road.

Judge Van Fleet has decided the cases Of
Peter Marlett, Road Overseer, VS.. Thomas
Anderson and w. s. Jacobs, in favor of the
plaintiff The cases were of considerable
interest TO the people living in the southern
part Of the county. The defendants had
set their fences out so as to obstruct and
encrosch upon the Lower Stockton road
from twelve to twenty feet. The Court found
that the encroachment was not made with
willful intent, but the honest belief by de-
PENDANTS that they had right to build and
maintain the fence, and decided that plain
tiff is entitled to judgment and decree
that the fences are an encroachment and a
nuisance, and that the same be abated and
removed. Under the decision plaintiff re-
covers cost of suit, but no penalty.
