ANNEXATION OF CANADA.
THE Disastrous AttemPfto Accomplish it by Force
Fanians Ektreat.

The present agitation concerning the rela-
tions between Canada and the United States
recalls the time when the annexation of that
country was proposed to be brought about by
force of arms. The project was entrusted to
the brave General Montgomery, assisted by the
famous patriots, Coionels Ethan Allen and Seth
Warner. While engaged in this invasion Ethan
Allen was taken prisoner by the British and
sent to England, where BE experienced very
harsh treatment
Tt was Colonel Warner who twice conducted
his men safely home Though the march was
constantly surrounded By dangers. Once Mont
gonery sent them home because their time was
out, and though they were willing to continue
in service, they were without sufficient cloth
ing, and none could be had in that country.
Colonel Warner had hardly arrived home
before be heard that Montgomery had been
killed, and the cause, rs well as the lives OF the
men, were put in great jeopardy. lie collected
his men again and at once started for Canada
to assist his countrymen in their extremity.
But his efforts were of no avail, and it was
soon found necessary to take up the line Of re-
treat.
1t was the dead Of winter, and only necessity
sanctioned moving the troops. The terror of
pursuit and the rigor of the season furnished
sufficient cause for alarm and haste. Colonel
Warner remained with the rear Of the army. and
aided them in many ways most effeetually, rs

sick and this knowledge now came into ex-
cellent use.
lie must keep the army in motion; not day
must be lost, and yet he was without any chest
of medicines. But he understood the medici-
nal 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 Ticonderoga was reached and the roll
called thanks to Seth Warner but few yacan-
cies in the ranks appeared.
Col. Warner saved the lives of hundreds of
men in this way, and he did noble work, but
it remained for his namesake, IT. III. Warner,
head of Warmers Safe Cure establishment, to
give the same kind of remedies then used to
the people of to-day in Warmers 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 with
utany fear as to the results.
Among the new remedies is q Sarsaparilla
for the blood, Hops and Buchu for the stomach
and digestion, Cough and Consumption Rem
edy, Scalpine for the head and hair, Rose Cream
for that terrible disease, catarrh, Log Cabin
Liver Pill, a Log Cabin Plaster and an Ex-
tract for internal and external use Our read
ers may rest assured that there is merit in
every article.

SCIENTIFIC CHAT.

The British TriehoIogcal Association has been

SETTLED AT LAST.

Alma's great sensation has come
and gone and the world still moves
on. The big $4,000 "breach of
promise" suit, which has occupied
the minds, as well as the tongues, of
the people of Gratiot county, causing
considerable speculation for the last
few months, came To somewhat alb
rupt termination in the circuit court
at Ithaca, on Tuesday. After the
fair plaintiff had given her testimony,
which consumed the greater part of
Monday afternoon and Tuesd y fore.

most dramatic style, (Which, by the
way, must have taken weeks of prac-
tice and rehearsal to give such a
state of perfection), its pathetic eff

sympathetic minds of the jury
sympathy for the "weaker Sex" in
eases of this kind goes for "prepond-
erance Of testimony" and is "nine
points in law" with country jury

dence of certain letters by the de.
PENDANTS counsel, the fair plain
tiff's side of the case showed up to
be rather "incompetent,' irrelevant
and not pertaining to the breach"
In fact the promise" proved an
imaginary one, existing only in the
mind of the plaintiff. Still, it looked
as if sympathetic and biased jury
might give her verdict in spite of
all law and evidence TO heal her inn
aginary wounds" This was the

taken by the Court until after din.
