ANNEXATION or CANADA.
The Disastrous Attempt to Accom-.
plish il by FOrce-A fam
Gus Retreat.

The present agitation concerning
the relations between Canada ans
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 en-
trusted to the brave General Mont
goInery. assisted by the famous pat
riots. Colonies Ethan Allen and Seth
Warner. While engaged in this in
yasion Ethan Allen was taken pris.
oner by the British and sent to Eng.
!add. where he experienced very
harsh treatment.
1t was Colonel Warner who twice
conducted his men safely home,
though the march was constantly
surrounded by dangers. Once Mont.
gomery 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 coun-
try.
Colonel Warner had hardly arrived
home before he heard that MontgOm.
ery had been killed. and the cause, al
we'll as the lives of the men, were put
in great jeopardy. He collected his
men again and at once started fol
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.
it was the dead Of winter, and only
necessity sanctioned moving the
troops. The terror Of pursuit and the
rigor of the season furnished sufi1c-
lent cause for alarm and haste.
Colonel Warner remained with the
rear Of the army, and aided them In
many ways most effectually, as he
was man well posted in caring for
the sick and this knowledge now
came into excellent use.
He must keep the army In motion.
not a day must be lost, and yet he
was without any chest OF medicines.
But he understood themedicinal use
of roots and herbs, and OF proper
care at critical times, and with these,
allies. he made an e6ectual 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 hun.
dreds of men in this way, and he did
O noble work, but It remained for hlt
namesake, H. H. Warner head OF
Warmers Safe Cure establishment, to
give the same kind OF remedies then

remedies have been adopted after
thorough trial and investigation, and
