MM . of au our preparation!, THE FIRST AMERICAN REPUBLIC Some Interesting Records of the Old, Independent Colony of Guilford and the Rights Granted to It By King George-Supported the Golonles In the Revolution, and Was Captured by Ethan Allen (John Gould In New York Tribune Fnrmor.) What n delightful old colony Ver mont Is to go back to, and In tho summer months, when the modern vacation days are upon you, stroll over thoso old green hills, wander up and own Its picturesque valleys, visit tho often quaint villages, hnlf colonial and half modern, spy out tho farmhouses, so many of them reaching back to tho Revolution, with 'their curious architecture of low walls and long, sloping roof., that almost como to tho ground, and, bettor than all, como In contact with and fcol tho warm friendship of thoso people, who Jiavo long lived there, nnd who, as genealogies run, roproscnt pioneers who enmo to tho "Provo It- to mo. "Why did not my grandfather nnd fnthor tell mo of this?" "Well, tho chnrtor is In exist ence, and tho records of tho republic nro in good preservation and can bo seen at tho town clerk's offlco at Guilford Centre, apd a duplicate map of tho assignments of tho public do main of Guilford Republic to its sev eral lnhnbltnnts. Wo went across to tho barn. This was tho long stable, thoso the stalls, and It is supposed thnt Ethan Allen's horso by right had this stall, and from thoso very mows tho herd's grnss hay was raked down to feed it. Then wo found an old enrly history of tho town, In which tho history of tho republic was told nnd a now mlno of curious facts was rovealcd.

"Why. becamo a township of Vermont, under tho gentle norsuaaion of Ethan Alton and a force of ono hundred stato militia. I Xo Ioi1h nnd 'o Tariff. Then wo looked over tho rocords remarkable transactions. There seems to have boon no tariff, or im port laws. Boston, ono hundred miles away, seems to havo been tho gront point of commerce with the colony, nnd many a bill was brought In for transporting town "stuff" from that port. After tho beginning of tho Revol ution thoro seems to havo beon a grcnt deslro to help tho colonies. In August of 177G is nn entry to tho effect thnt tho selectmen YOted to Bupply thrco soldiers to tho Contin ental army during tho war, and, in nld of such, they wero to bo pnld nn annual bounty of 3 each. John Sheperdson Booms to havo beon tho first volutnecr undor tho net, and, so far ns tho records show, this army of threo wns kept In tho flold throughout tho war. During tho Revolution tho town seems to havo become somowhnt di vided in regard to Its government. Now York was claiming tho un named territory of Vermont on ono side, and New llnmpshlro on tho othor. Vermont becamo n sort of cross-over ground botwoon tho armies. It wos just wost of Guilford that General John Stark, with Now Hampshlno troops, won tho battlo of Donnlngton, In which mnny Green Mountain boys fought. Thoro was dlvldod opinion In tho toWn, nnd thoro was somowhnt serious disputes between tho lnhabltats, bo that after tho war tho Liberty Polo Inn soms to havo beon tho real capltol of tho govornmont. Demands vero mndo by thon govornmont of Vermont for tho surrondor of tho charter under which tho republic hnd oxlBtcd. Tho town was thon surrounded by othor towns loyal to Vermont, nnd ns a laBt rosort Genornl Ethan Allen was sout with ono hundred troopers to Guilford to "pcraundo" .tho peoplo to unlto with tho County of Wlnd hnm nnd tho Stnto of Vermont. It deems thnt tho Council wns In ses sion at tho Llborty Polo Inn when Allon and his troopp arrived. Ktlmii IVrsundcil Thoni. Allen sought ndmlttnnco to tho hotol, or rather tavern. Tho door wns cloBcd. Allon thundered on tho door with his list nnd demanded ad mittance. Ho then announced that ho had como to havo tho town join with tho stnto nnd glvo up Its Indo pondeco. IIo wns told, "Not" "Well," said ho, "I'll glvo you throo days to mako up your minds, nnd If you roftiBo I'll mako Glulford ns des olato as Sodom and Gomorrah." IIo thoroupon proceeded to mako hlm solf at homo nnd ordered his troops to mako themsolvcH comfortable "This," snld my host, "la tho old front door of tho tavern on which Allon thumped" a groat Bolld, pan elled door, kept ns n historical rolio In tho Gnlo family. Tho Council con sidered, tho will of tho town was sought, nnd Alton wnltod, nnd room ed with Gnlo. Tlioy mot to fix terms, but thoro was to bo no tormn, only Burrondor. What would Allon do? No ono know, but nU'guosHOd. Pln ally, If they compiled with his terms, would ho lonvo tho old chartor nnd records In tho possession of tho town? Certainly. Thoro woro no othor tonus. Terms of Hurroiider. Tho town capitulated, tho Council signed for tho town nnd adjourned Sleep And Rest Every movement of tho body consumes energy. So does mental effort. En ergy is supplied by tho nerves. It follows tbat physical or mental exhaus tion simply means an over-draft on tho nerves. Nature restores energy through rest and sleep. You cannot sleep with tired nerves. Dr. Miles' Nervine soothes tho irri tation and restores nerv ous energy. "AUhouKh I havo lived nearly 7ft yrnrs.
