562. WH Sat Jul 4, 1795: Worcester, June 24. A Harrisburgh paper of June eight, furnishes the following paragraph: “By several of the
soldiers who passed through this town last week o their way home, from the army stationed at Pittsburgh, for the purpose of keeping peace and quietness among the late disaffected people in that quarter, we learn, that the soldiers have experienced there, a very fatiguing and sickly
time, during the winter; that scarcely a man in the whole army has escaped a severe sickness; and that out of 800 foot, to which our informants belonged, between fifty and sixty had been buried. It was supposed that sleeping in the damp log huts, newly erected, occasioned
such a universal malady among them. From the same authority we farther learn, that several of the soldiers who had been dismissed, were
murdered by the Indians.”

563. WH Sat Jul 4, 1795: Stockbridge, June 23. On Tuesday last the Ministers of this County met in Association at Williamstown; and, on the day following, Ordained the Rev. Ebenezer Fitch, President of Williams College, to the work and office of a Gospel Minister. The great decency and solemnity, both of the inhabitants of the Town then present, and of the Members of the College and Academy, on the occasion, could not but give pleasure to serious observers; and presage happy and useful effects of the Ordination.

567. WH Sat Jul 4, 1795: We the subscribers being appointed by the hon. court of probate, for the district of Pomfret, commissioners to examine the claims of the creditors of the estate of Mary-Ann Work, late of Ashford, deceased, represented insolvent, and six months from the 7th day of April last, is allowed for that purpose.

569. WH Sat Jul 11, 1795: Pittsburgh, June 20. Extract of a letter from a gentleman at Greenville to his friend in Pittsburgh, dated May 15,
1795. “The Indians visit this place and the posts advanced, with the greatest confidence. The Shawanese are settling to plant at Fort Wayne,
the Delawares at Fort Defiance, and various parties live and hunt in the neighbourhood of Greenvile in the utmost security; indeed, if we may
judge from appearances, the general tenor of their conduct since they have made overtures of peace, is of such a nature as to encourage the
fullest expectation of a speedy and happy adjustment of all differences subsisting between them and the United States.” We are informed, by a
person of veracity, who arrived here on Tuesday last, from Fort Washington, that the mail-boat between Limeston and Galliopolis, was fired on by the Indians, and that one man was killed, and two dangerously wounded.

570. WH Sat Jul 11, 1795: Lexington.
May 9. On Friday the 1st instant, two men who were hunting horses on the frontiers of Maddison county, were fired on by Indians, and one of
them was killed.
May 12. For several weeks past the Indians have been stealing horses on our frontiers. From mill creek about 17 horses have been stolen; a
party was out in pursuit of them when our informant left that quarter. The Indians stole a number of horses from Clarke county, and ‘tis said
that Capt. M’Intire who is stationed at Bourbon furnace, went in pursuit of them.
May 19. Last week some Indians stole horses from Fort Hamilton; they were pursued by a party to whom the horses belonged and traced 8 to a considerable distance from the Fort, where only one of the Indians was discovered; he was fired on and killed, the horses were brought back
again to Hamilton.
May 26. By a gentleman who arrived here a few days ago we are informed, that about ten days since, a party, consisting of 8, coming through the Wilderness was fired on by some Indians, within a few miles of Waldron’s station, by which four of them were instantly killed. By the same informant we learn, that in his way through the wilderness, he passed several large parties destined for this state. By a gentleman
arrived from Limestone we are informed, that during hi stay of two days there were seven family boats, principally Dutch, stopped there, whose destination was the Falls of the Ohio. When we consider the situation of this country, its salubrious air, and the fertility of its soil, we may not be surprised at the immense number of emigrants which arrive from different parts of the continent. Through various channels of
information we learn, that the emigrants to this country during the present year will far surpass that of former years. The lead mine at
Hickston, we learn, (from persons who have seen some of the ore) is as good, if not of a superior quality to any other they have seen ;and, if
properly worked and carried on, will be an undertaking highly advantageous not only to its proprietor, but will be of most essential
utility to this country.

571. WH Sat Jul 11, 1795: Hanover, June 29. Hail Storm! We hear from Newbury, that on Monday last, about 4 o’clock P.M. came on a storm of wind, rain, hail and thunder more violent than any which has happened within the memory of the oldest man now living in that place. The damage done by the destruction of mills, roads, bridges, fruit trees and other objects exposed to the rage of the contending elements supersedes all calculation. Our informant affirms that the river road in Newbury is so gullied that a thousand dollars would be insufficient to repair it. The same afternoon the house of Mr. Timothy Durkee, of Piermont was struck with lightning. It descended the chimney a few feet, then separated into two veins, and forced its way into two different apartments. Mrs. Durkee was struck down, partly out of the door, and remained senseless for some minutes. A young girl and an infant, which she held in her arms were likewise thrown out of the door; the former lay motionless some time, but the infant was unhurt. Two other children were taken up for dead. But it is hoped they are all in fair way to recover, although the last mentioned were deprived of sight for two days. At Bradford, and Fairlee, the tempest appears to have been very destructive. Hailstones of an enormous size, spread devastation over the fertile fields; and blasted the fairest prospects of the industrious husbandman. In many places scarcely the appearance of vegetation is left, where, but a few moments before, nature was smiling with more than vernal luxuriance!

572. WH Sat Jul 11, 1795: Worcester, July 1. “Hubbardston, June 25, 1795 The following melancholy accident took place in this town, on
Monday last. At the raising of a house belonging to Mr. John Woods, jun. two of the posts after being raised, fell down, occasioned by the sills
giving way, in attempting to raise two other posts; one of which struck a Mr. Amasa Bellows, on the head, which put an instant period to his
existence. He has left parents in the decline of life, a wife and one child, and many other connexions to lament his loss. Several others were
wounded, but none we hope mortally. It is hoped that all master workmen at frames will take the utmost care in preparing frames for raising.”

586. WH Sat Jul 25, 1795: New-London, July 23. Tuesday last Mr. Eli Dudley, stage driver between this place and Norwich, and another person were running horses on what is called Richards’ Plain, when unfortunately the horse on which Dudley rode ran out of the common
course, stumbled and threw him; he had no bones broken, but received so much injury that he died the following day. ‘The way of duty is the way of safety.’

587. WH Sat Jul 25, 1795: Windham. Mr. Byrne, Please to insert the following in the Herald, and you will oblige one (and perhaps a number)
of your constant readers. Saturday the 11th inst. departed this life, Mr. Gamaliel Ripley, jun. in the twenty second year of his age. He lived
a patron of virtue and morality, much respected by all his acquaintance; and died universally lamented. Thus is the fairest human prospect cut
short by the cruel hand of Death. Thus are the parents bereaved of a promising and dutiful son, the brothers and sister of a kind and
affectionate brother, and the world of a valuable citizen.
G ood faith the word, our time is short and vain,
A nd longest life is nothing but a span;
M ay virtue ever be our chief delight,
A nd vanity forever take her flight,
L ike young Gamaliel, let us be inclin’d,
I n virtue’s paths, to form each other _rind;
E ach day and hour let’s pass in virtue’s ways,
L ife soon is past, and youth and strength decays.

R ipley is gone, to his eternal rest,
I n worlds above, to live forever blest;
P ure as the light, we trust he reigns on high,
L et’s live like him, that when we come to die,
E ach one of us may soar to worlds above,
Y ield up our breath, and meet our friend in love.

588. WH Sat Jul 25, 1795: Windham. Died, at Mansfield, John Salter, Esq. aged 63.
