280. WH Sat Oct 4, 1794: Albany, Sept. 11. On Monday last arrived in this city from Michelemackenack, via Detroit and Niagara, James Niel, an inhabitant of Beardstown county, Kentucky, and one of the packhorse men employed by the contractors to general Wayne’s army. He says he was taken by the indians at the attack on fort Recovery, stripped of his clothing and carried a journey of three weeks west, into the interior of their country; that during the march he was twice tied up to be burnt, but some casualty happened each time which prevented it. On his arrival at Michelmakenack he was ransomed by Capt Boyle, commanding at that post, from whom he obtained a pass to Detroit where he
obtained another pass to Niagara from colonel England; at Niagara governor Simcoe renewed his pass, and gave him liberty to return home, and 11 dollars to bear his expences. He confirms the account in our paper of Thursday last, of the defeat of the indians at the Miami, and says several white people were with the indians, as he saw sundry of them who were wounded brought into Detroit, while he was there. He also says that Simon Girty and a son of colonel Mageee, who lives at the Rapids of the Miami, commanded the indians ; that Girty publickly declared, that he took of Captain Gibson’s scalp.

304. WH Sat Oct 18, 1794: Remedy for the Putrid Fever. To the Printers of the Sherbourne Mercury. “Gentlemen, As Putrid Fevers, (especially at this time) are very prevalent in different parts of the kingdom, it were to be wished that every person knew and attended to the following fact, viz. That Yeast or Barm, to the quantity of three or four spoonfuls hath been exhibited in Putrid cases, with the most singular success, so that patients in the extremity of this very contagious and most fatal disease, have been seen almost instantly to have recovered from a dying state to perfect safety. N.B. This simple but very efficacious remedy hath been recently discovered and applied by a very
benevolent and worthy clergyman, the Rev. Edmund Cartwright; and it is to be hoped that the gentlemen of the faculty, and those of the clergy, who have frequent recess to the sick, will neither despise, or neglect such an invaluable discovery. Probably it will be expedient to use a little warm water to wash the Yeast down the patient’s throat; and to administer at the intermediate hours, and as useful auxiliaries a few of the customary and the most efficacious antesceptic cordials and draughts. The substance of this paragraph, is extracted from the 302 page of the monthly Review for March 1794, and is now presented for public inspection and the relief of the afflicted, by Philanthropus.

307. WH Sat Oct 18, 1794: Particulars of the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. Extract of a letter from Naples, beginning June 17, and ending June 21, 1794. On Sunday the 15th June I was called to witness the grandest and most awful sight, I ever beheld. It was about eleven at night; and the eruption I imagine, had burst forth about twenty minutes previous to the time of my seeing it. It was on the side of the mountain much below its crater. A few minutes before the fire and smoke were visible, a violent shock of earth was felt, sufficient to wring the bells of the houses and shake the doors and windows. When I first saw it, it had the appearance of an immense column of fire arising out of an aperture of the earth of a wonderful size; the fire was not, or had not the appearance of being thrown up by jets or coup fur cour, but one continued body
of gerbe. The volume of smoke greatly exceeded even what could in any possible manner be expected from such a body of fire, and owing to the direction it took, we never lost sight of the summet of mount Vesuvius, or of Semma, the opposite mountain, which heightened the beauty and grandeur of the scene. The lava broke out in many places at the sides, and it is said from 36 different openings; these soon uniting to one great river of fire, flowed with great rapidity towards Torre de la Graeco, a town at the foot of the mountain, on the sea shore. In its way to this town, it at one time took a direction that threatened the town of Portica, but happily did not reach it. The stream of lava was the whole time a tremendous sight: the throws from the mountain, the explosions like thunder, and shocks of the earth were repeated at very small intervals. At three I ventured to bed; but at five the house shook so much, the windows and doors rattled, and the bells rang to that degree, that I thought it adviseable to get up again. The scene was now entirely changed: No Vesuvius, no fire, no smoke, no lava to be seen, the whole atmosphere was charged with ashes, and the powder from them lay an inch thick in the streets; the explosions and shocks were less violent, but the sun was obscured by the ashes the greatest part of Monday the 16th of June. To what height the stone or lava were thrown up, it is not accurately known, but probably above 1000 feet; they have been known in a former eruption to have been thrown 11,000 feet in height, at which time sir William Hamilton told me that he picked up stones of 60 pounds in weight at the distance of 5 or 6 miles, one of 12 pounds at 8, and one of 2 ounces, at 30 miles distant from the mountain. About ten in the morning we heard that the town of Torre de la Graeco, eight miles hence by
water, was entirely consumed, with 28,000 inhabitants: a boat took us there in two hours, when we happily found these reports greatly exaggerated, for only 8 were lost, and these either old or confined to bed by sickness. Many houses are burnt and destroyed, and more just suffer the same fate, as the lava still continues to roll towards the sea, tho’ not with rapidity. The main stream of lava divided near Torre de la Graeco into four parts: one having made its way through the town, reached the sea, carrying every thing before it: the second works through a valley without doing much mischief, a third, tho’ slow in its progress, is very mischievous in its effects on a different part of the town. I saw a fourth above the town in a vineyard, presenting a front of lava 800 feet wide and 100 feet high, which threatens more mischief. Imagine then what must have been the mast or river of lava on the declivity of the mountain before its first division. The rapidity with which it proceeded, varied according to the greater or less inclination of the ground over which it passed: it reached the town, which was at the distance of eight miles in four hours from the time when it first broke out. The inhabitants of Torre de la Graeco are calculated at fourteen thousand, almost all of whom fled immediately, without attempting to secure any of their effects. I did not see more than 150 persons, and very few of these were employed in saving any thing out of the houses that were beginning to take fire. Why they fled so suddenly, or at least did not return earlier after their first panic, I cannot guess; for the progress of the lava was so gradual, that they certainly had time to save their effects without
endangering themselves, except in one instance, higher up the mountain, where one house with four nuns in it were buried before assistance could be given. Those who have made observations on volcanoes, say that this is the greatest and most violent eruption ever known since the time of Pliny, Anno Domini 79; that the appearance of this, in many of its circumstances, was similar to an eruption in 1767, at which time the mountain discharged its contents during one day and night, and then ceased for the same time, and so on alternately for six days, with exactly the same intermissions.
June 18. From the continuance of the noise, it is expected more lava will be discharged very soon; at this instant the noise is more violent & the ashes thicker than ever. There has been no eruption wherein the lava has reached the sea since 1631, at which time the town of Torre de la Graeco was nearly destroyed.
June 19. The crater is fallen in; the ashes less thick; tho the rumbling like thunder continues. I believe the danger of another violent shock is over. The opening from whence the lava flowed prior to this eruption, was about a quarter of a mile in circumference; it is now imagined to be a mile.
June 21. Two other towns have been destroyed by a shower of ashes, but all danger is over here.

308. WH Sat Oct 25, 1794: Dublin, July 28. A most desperate & alarming species of Kidnapping has for weeks past been practiced in this city, for the avowed purpose of populating Upper Canada. There are now two vessels in the bay from that Province, on board of which many women and children have been conveyed. The Agents employed in this business give four guineas for each child, and twenty for every woman under thirty five. The populace are so much incensed that every woman who is seen with a bundle or a child is searched and examined, and many who have been suspected of having sold their children, have been desperately beaten, and, in two or three instances dragged through the Liffey.
A few days since some suspicious looking fellows were watched to a cellar, in Barrack-street. The mob collected; and broke open the doors, when they found twenty-seven children who were that night to have embarked for America. Steps have been taken to prevent this improper commerce.

309. WH Sat Oct 25, 1794: New-Haven, October 14. The committee to make weekly reports of deaths and state of sickness in this city; certify that the following persons have died since their last report, viz:

This, if true seems to be a practice of cramming Jacobinism down their throats in spite of their teeth.

321. WH Sat Oct 25, 1794: Naples, July 8. The late eruption of Mount Vesuvius seems to have occasioned a sensible alteration in the season. For three weeks past scarcely a day has passed without a violent storm of thunder, lightning and heavy rain, quite unusual here in the month of July; and the damage done to the fertile lands at the foot of the mountain, by torrents of water, mixed with the Puzzolane ashes (and which immediately forms into a hard cement,) is inconceivable. In some places the soil is covered by it, not less than four feet in thickness. The volcano begins now to make its appearance from under the clouds of ashes and smoke which had obscured it ever since the beginning of the
eruption. It lost near one third of the height of its cone, and to make up for that loss, several very considerable conical hills, with deep and extensive craters (some not less than a mile in circumference,) have been formed by the late eruption, and are visible on its flanks towards the sea-side.
