ANNEXATION OF CANADA.

The Disastrous Attempt to Accomplish It by Force—A Famous Retreat. The present agitation concerning the relations 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 famoos patriots, 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, It Was Colonel Warner who twice conducted his men safely home, though the march was constantly surrounded by dangers. 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 collected his men again and at once startec’, for Canada to assist his countrymeh in their extremity. But his efforts were of no avail, and t was soon found necessary to take up the line of retreat. It was the dead of winter, and only necessity sanctioned moving the troops. The terror of pursuit and the rigor of the sea c on furnished sufficient cause for alarm and haste. Colonel Warner re mained with the rear of the army, and aided them in many ways most effectually, as he was a 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. Bat he understood the medicinal use of roots and herbs, and of proper care at critical times, and rich these allies, he made an effectual fight against disease among his men. W hen Ticonderoga was reached and the roll called, thanks to Bath Warner but few vacancies in the ranks appeared. Ooi. Warner saved the lives of hundreds of men in this way, and he did a noble work, but it remained for bis namesake, H. H. Warner, head of Warner’s Safe Cure establishment, to give the same kind of remedies then used to the oeople of to-day, in “Warner’s Log Cabm 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 Bnchu for the stomach and digestion, Cough and Consumption Remedy, Bcalpiue for rhe head and 'air, Rose Cream tor that terrible disease, catarrh, a Log Cabin Liver Pill, a Log Cabin Piaster and an Extract for internal and external use. Our readers may rest assured that there is merit in every article. Women in politics is like greasin’ a wagon with molasses.
