34. WH Sat Feb. 1, 1794: New York, January 16. Town of Tuckabache, on the Talappoose river, Upper Creeks, November 30, 1793: Sir, It is with pleasure I inform your Excellency, that in consequence of a meeting, which I have had at this place with the chiefs of all the Creek nations, that peace and good understanding is again re-established, between the United States, and the said nation. The Creeks bind themselves to deliver to me all the prisoners in this land; to restore all the negroes, horses and cattle taken from Georgia, for twelve months past, to punish capitally, five or more of their aggressors. Measures are taken to carry into effect all these desirable objects; and runners are
sent in every direction, to make known the news of peace, and strictly to forbid their people from injuring the persons or property of the
people of your State or of the United States. I have therefore to request that your Excellency will lose no time in promulgating this
information throughout your State, thereby to prevent any outrage being offered to such Indians as may appear on your frontier belonging to this nation, whilst they conduct themselves as friends. I have not time to be more particular at present, but shall do myself the honour of writing to you again in a few days, and am with due respect, Your humble servant, James Seagrove. Agent Indian Affairs, S.D.U.S. His Excellency the Gov. of Georgia.

A maiden turn’d to Mud!

48. WH Sat Feb. 8, 1794: Departed this life at Pomfret, 28th ult. Doctor Albigence Waldo, in the 44th year of his age. Encomiums on the
deceased, we are sensible are too common, and frequently undeserved; but on a character so publicly useful, and universally respected, it would be unpardonable to be silent. Dr. Waldo was a man endued by the God of nature with the most brilliant and distinguished abilities, and with a heart susceptible of all those amiable and benevolent virtues which adorn the human breast. The diligent improvement of the former in the acquisition of science in general, but more especially in the healing art, rendered him extensively useful, and ranked him among the highest order of his profession. Many are the living monuments of his skill that have thereby been rescued from the tomb. By his compositions, at which he possessed superior talents, he has frequently entertained and instructed. And his manuscripts, which now remain, will doubtless afford great light and benefit to future ages. The assiduous cultivation of the benevolent dispositions of his heart in all those virtues and graces, which constitute the agreeable companion, the kind parent, the constant friend, and sincere christian, acquired him the esteem and love of all his ______ was in pouring balm into the wounded heart, relieving the distressed, and in contributing to the happiness of his fellow creatures. Unexampled, he lived without an enemy; and died greatly lamented by all that knew him. His remains were enterred on Sunday last, when a serious and sentimental discourse was delivered by the Rev. Mr. Dodge, to a numerous and respectable audience, that was ever before known in these parts on such an occasion; and altho the accommodations were extremely inconvenient, * yet ____ serious and devout attention did them honor as men, and christians. As he was an officer of Moriah Lodge, and endeared to the fraternity by every masonic virtue and accomplishment, the Master and Brethren universally attended, and with the greatest dignity and solemnity, performed the obsequies usual at the enterment of a brother. Their sympathetic grief on the occasion manifested their sensibility; and evinced their high estimation of the deceased friend, as an ornament to the craft. At the grave, an ingenious and pathetic eulogium was delivered by brother McClellan. And tho his body now moulders in the dust, his memory shall be embalmed in the hearts of all his acquaintance, and they erect monuments to his distinguished worth.
* The Catholic Reformed Society of Pomfret, of which the Doctor was a member, are at present destitute of a public house for worship. The
meeting house being in the hands of nine or ten persons, as the first society. And as the lodge were assembled at the time of the Doctor’s
death, they chose a respectable committee to wait on those persons, requesting the favour of occupying their meeting-house on the time of
his funeral. But to their great astonishment, they received for answer, “That after consultation they have agreed, as inn their opion, that the
burial of the dead is not a religious act, but in fact a profanation of the Sabbath, when performed on that day, they cannot consent to the
opening the meetinghouse on that day for the above purpose.” This piece of inhumanity compelled hundreds to stand in the snow during the
service; when, at the same time, a capacious meeting house, within a few rods was occupied by about thirty persons only.

61. WH Sat Feb. 15, 1794: To the Public. The subscriber informs the public, that he is so unfortunate as to have a son, who has been for a
long time subject to epileptic fits, which have almost wholly deprived him of reason; his lunacy discovers itself in nothing so much as a
disposition to wandering and trimming trees, which he does in a very curious manner. Until about seven months past he confined himself in his rambles to the vicinity of his friends, and was frequently seen by them and carried home since which he has extended his wanderings, and been several times heard of in the towns of Thompson, Woodstock, and Pomfret, and the northern parts of Windham county, and has escaped the most vigilant exertions of his friends to find him, and has not been heard of for about two months past. His name is Daniel Coit; he is seventeen years old last summer; is not tall but remarkably thick set and heavy for a boy of his age, and will every where be known by his propensity to trim trees, which appears to be his only source of amusement. In addition to the feelings which his father possesses in the happiness of his child, however unfortunate, he is also very unwilling that the public should be bothered with his support; he therefore earnestly requests his friends and the friends of humanity to take up said boy, wherever he may be found, and either return him to the subscriber, or secure him till he can be sent for, and give information ____ him, and the subscriber will simply pay for the trouble and expense; and whoever does it will have the satisfaction of having relieved an object of pity, and also having very much obliged the unfortunate father of an unfortunate child.

67. WH Sat Feb. 23, 1794: Dr. Wollaston of Bury, has published the following account of an afflicted family at Wattisham. John Downing, a
poor laboring man, living in Wattisham, in January last, had a wife and six children: The eldest a girl 15 years of age, the youngest about four
months. They were all at that time very healthy; and had not any of them been ill for some time before. On Sunday the 10th of January, the eldest girl complained in the morning of a pain in her left leg; particularly in the calf of the leg. Toward evening, the pain grew exceedingly
violent. The same evening another girl complained of the same violent pain in the same leg. On the Monday the mother and another child; on the Tuesday all the rest of the family were affected in the same manner; some in one leg, and some in both legs. The little infant was taken from the mothers breast: It seemed to be in pain; but the limbs did not mortify: It lived a few weeks. The mother and five other children
contined in violent pain a considerable time: In about four, five or six days, the diseased leg began to turn black, gradually; appearing at
first to be covered with blue spots, as if it had been bruised. The other leg of those who were afflicted at first only in one leg, about that time also began to be affected with the same excruciating pain, and in a few days began to mortify. The mortified parts separated gradually from the sound parts, and the surgeon had in most of the cases no other trouble than to cut thro’ the bone, which was black and almost dry. The state of their limbs at present is this: Mary, the mother, aged 40, has lost the right foot at the ankle; the left foot also is off, and the two bones of the leg remain, almost dry, with only some little putrid flesh adhering in some places. The flesh is found to about two inches below the knee. The bones would have been sawn through, at that place, if she would have consented to it. Mary, aged 15, both legs off below the knees. Elizabeth, aged 13, both legs off below the knees. Sarah, aged 10, one foot off at the ankle. The other foot was affected, but not in so great a degree; and is now sound again. Robert, aged 8, both legs off below the knees. Edward, aged 4, both feet off. An infant, four months old dead. The father was attacked about a fortnight after the rest of the family, but in a slighter degree; the pain being confined to his fingers. Two fingers of the right had continued for a long time discoloured, and partly shrunk and contracted; but he begins now to have some use of them. The nails of the other hand were also discoloured. He lost two of them. It is remarkable, that, during all the time of this misfortune, the whole family is said to have appeared, in other respects, well, ate heartily, and slept well, when the violence of the pain began to abate. The mother is now emaciated, and has very little use of her hands. The eldest girl has a superficial ulcer in one thigh, and seems also ill. The rest of the family are pretty well. The stumps of some of them perfectly healed.
