ANNEXATION OF CANADA.


III DiNtNiiohS ShtttthIh 10 accomplish III
by force-A Famous Retreat.
The present agitation concerning the re.
latlons between Canada and the United
States recalls the time when the annexa-
ton of that country was proposed to be
brought about by force of arms. The prof.
ect was entrusted to tho brave General
Montgomery, assisted by the famous patri-
OTIS, Colonels Ethan Allen and Seth Warner.
While engaged in this invasion Ethan Allen
was taken prisoner by the British and sent
to England, where he experienced very
harsh treatment.
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 line 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
collected his men again and at once started
for Canada to assist his Countrymen in their
extremity. Blu his efforts were of oavail.
and it was soon found necessary to take up
the line Of retreat.
1t 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 etfcctually, as he was Il man
well posted in caring for the sick and this
knowledge now came into excellent use.
He must keep the army in motion, not q
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 effectual fight against
disease among his men.
When Ticondcroga was reached and tho
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 namcsake, II.
