708. WH Sat May 4, 1793: Savannah, April 4. On Thursday morning last, Mr. George Washington Greene, son of the late General Greene, was unfortunately drowned in this river, near Mulberry Grove, by the oversetting of a canoe. Mr. Stiles, a young Gentleman who was with him,
with much difficulty got a shore. Mr. Green’s corpse was found the next day, and on Saturday was interred here. The Cincinnati Society, of which he was a member, and a number of respectable citizens, attended the funeral.

709. WH Sat May 4, 1793: Bennington, April 12. The following affecting event lately transpired in Sunderland. The wife of Mr. Isaac Lewis, of the south-east part of that town, left her house about ten o’clock on Tuesday morning last, to find the cows in the woods; she did not return,
and the neighbours were not informed of her absence until near sunset, when the children of Mrs. Lewis, went to a neighbor’s, crying, and
informed that their mother was absent, and had not been at home since morning; her husband coming home, received the sorrowful intelligence, and immediately called a few neighbours to assist his search, which however, proved fruitless, though they continued out all night, notwithstanding the heavy rains. When our informant left Sunderland, viz. Wednesday noon, a large collection of men from that and the
adjacent towns, were still in search of the unfortunate woman. One circumstance, which appears a little singular, was, Mrs. Lewis left her
own shoes at home, telling her children, that she could walk better in a pair of their daddy’s which she put on, and which were found a few rods
from the house, and the disconsolate husband thinks he traced her steps in her stocking feet, to the edge of the Roaring Branch, so called,
where, he fears, she must have fallen in.

710. WH Sat May 4, 1793: Married, at Nantucket, Mr. John Fairweather, to Miss Heppy Swain. Mr. Fairweather was single, and an apprentice ; free—married and bedded—broke out with the small pox the natural way separated from his wife and lodged in a hospital, on in less than 48 hours.

717. WH Sat May 11, 1793: Knoxville, March 9. We learn, the reward offered by the President of the United States for apprehending the leader of the party who destroyed the Cherokee town of Tenchtotee, has induced some persons to apprehend David M’Closky, of Tugelo, in Georgia. On his being apprehended, & until his arrival at Augusta, he considered it as a trivial affair; but upon his arrival there the officers of government had him confined in heavy irons, and from thence sent to Savannah to be tried before the federal court.

Scotland, at Capt. David Dorrance’s, on Wednesday the 15th inst. and will continue to be there once a fortnight, the season through. N.B..

726. WH Sat May 18, 1793: New-Haven, May 8. On Wednesday the 28th ult. came on before the Circuit Court of the United States sitting in this place, two actions in favour of Peter Elkay, a free Negro, of Stockbridge, in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, against Joel Moss and
John Ives, 3d. of Wallingford, for taking away and holding in servitude two of his children who were free. Upon an elaborate investigation and
discussion of these causes, the Jury were convinced that the children were, in truth, free; and that the conduct of the defendants were very
reprehensible, and gave a verdict against them, with two hundred and fifty dollars damages in each case. These verdict’s appeared
satisfactory to the Court and to all the friends of humanity. It is hoped that such an exemplary punishment of kidnapping Negroes, will
deter others from this crime, and happily tend to abolish it.

727. WH Sat May 18, 1793: New-Haven, May 8. Monday last, (being a general muster of the militia) at Branford, by the bursting of an
over-charged swivel gun, Roger Tyler, aged about 25 years was instantly killed, and Asa Cook, of the same age, lost his right hand. We also
learn, that at Fairfield, the same day, a young man lost one of his arms in a similar way.

728. WH Sat May 18, 1793: Windham, May 18. Last Sunday afternoon, the house of Mr. Jonas Huntington, in Mansfield, was struck with lightning, and Mr. Matthew Huntington, a young man about 18 years of age, (nephew of the above) instantly killed. He had been in the house but a few moments when the lightning struck, and at the time was standing before the fire drying his clothes, which had been wet by the rain. Several of the family were struck down at the same instant, but non materially hurt. A little girl who was in the room had her shoe torn from her foot by the lightning, but sustained no other injury. The lightning entered one of the chambers of the house, where there was a considerable quantity of flax, which it set on fire, but owing to the consternation the family were in, it was not perceived till it had got to such a
heighth as to baffle every effort to extinguish it, and in a few minutes the building, together with most of the provisions, a large quantity of
leather, chief of the household furniture, &c. were reduced to ashes. The house had been lately built, and was the hard earnings of its
industrious owner.

729. WH Sat May 18, 1793: Windham, May 18. As various reports respecting the small pox in this town, are in circulation, and some
perhaps so misrepresented, as to dissuade many good people from reporting hither as usual, it is necessary the public should be informed
of the true state of the facts, that they may be able to ascertain how far the truth has been related, and what degree of credit ought to be
given to reports. A person broke out with the above disorder in this town last week, and several persons whom it was judged had in
consequence been exposed to the infection, were inoculated, but they were all immediately removed to houses remote from any public roads, and at a proper distance from the town the roads leading to them have been fenced up, and every other precaution taken to prevent people from being endangered by the infection; and the public may be assured that in no other way is the town infected, than above related.

730. WH Sat May 18, 1793: Mr. Byrne, By giving the following a place in your paper, you will doubtless contribute much to the public good, and oblige one who is a friend and well wisher to the manufactures of our own country. Mr. John Fuller, of Willington, has this present season, began, and completed the setting out of 1200 rock or sugar maples on his farm, at the distance of 15 feet from tree to tree, all in handsome order, and on a moist side-hill. Should this laudable example be followed by the farmers in general throughout this state, no doubt we may in a short time, be able to bid defiance to the West-Indian planters to extort either money or provisions from us for their sugars. Mr.
Fuller, for the small sum of 30s has an insurance of all the above mentioned trees; and those that may happen to die, are to be replaced
from time to time, till there shall be 1200 living trees standing and growing on his farm.

731. WH Sat May 18, 1793: Married, Mr. Eleazer Fitch, jun. to Mrs. Olive Fitch.

Rockingham’s famous running horse Lath, from London. Pomfret, May 13, 1793.

733. WH Sat May 18, 1793: Strayed from the subscriber on the 5th day of May inst a three year old Mare Colt, rather small, trots and paces,
light iron-grey colour, rather short dock, barefoot. Whoever will return said Mare or give information so that the subscriber may have her again, shall be handsomely rewarded, and all necessary charges paid. William Burnam. Windham, (Scotland Society,) May 15, 1793.

734. WH Sat May 25, 1793: Alexandria, May 2. On the 24th ult Joseph Winsed, a sailor on board the sloop Fanny, commanded by Bennet Rose, and bound from this port to the Eastern shore, attempted to murder the captain with an ax while asleep. He gave him several severe wounds on the head. The noise having roused the other sailor, (there being only three on board) Winsed wounded him also; but finding he was likely to be overpowered, he ran upon deck, and upon being pursued, jumpt overboard. Not being able to make the shore he entreated to be taken on board which was granted. Having been carried before a magistrate, he was whipped, and, for want of bail, committed to the goal of Westmoreland, from which he is by this time released. He confessed that his intention was to murder the Captain, in order to get at the sum of money, which was on board. Winsed is about 5 feet 9 inches high, fair complexion, red hair tied behind, well made, with down look, about 20 years of age.

735. WH Sat May 25, 1793: New-Haven, May 15. Died at Waterbury, by intoxication, on the evening of the 22d ult. a smart active negro girl,
about nine years old, belonging to Mr. John Nichols, at the house of the Rev. Mr. Hart, with whom she lived. Mrs. Hart was abroad, and Mr. Hart leaving the house for a short time to attend on some labourers in a lot adjoining, inadvertently left a bottle of spirits in a closet unlocked,
to which she had access. On their return, they found her inebriated to a very considerable degree, tho’ not past speaking, and by moving her she vomited several times, till they supposed she had disgorged most of the spirits she had swallowed, and appearing somewhat relieved, and out of danger, was suffered to sleep, but in a few moments was discovered to be lifeless. A physician was immediately called, who made various efforts, by different applications to restore her to life, but in vain. Her corpse remained until the 24th before she was buried, without any
apparent signs of life. This unusual accident is a serious admonition to parents and masters of children to be careful not to leave this more
than common poison within their reach.

736. WH Sat May 25, 1793: Married, at New-London, Mr. Samuel Haynes, merchant, to Miss Rebecca Green, daughter of Timo. Green, Esq.

742. WH Sat May 25, 1793: For Covering, this season, at the stable of the subscriber, the well-made and beautiful horse, Argus. He is full
fifteen hands high, and exceeding well spirited, remarkable for cords and nerves, and one of the best saddle-horses on this continent, perhaps
not his equal in this state for swiftness and strength; his colts are very fine and well made; his grand-sire, Old Ranger, his sire that
beautiful horse Young Ranger, and out of a favorite mare sired by Old Leopard, and is seven years old this season, remarkable sure for foals,

of shining white, intermixt with innumerable black spots, with a grey mane and tail, which renders his appearance beautiful. Terms agreed on
at the time of covering. Also, A large likely Jack, which has proved remarkable sure for colts, and it is certain, has sired a number of
twins. The biggest price given for Mule colts, at four months old, in cash, and as reasonable for the single leap, season and risque, as can
be expected. The subscriber has prepared himself to use his customers as well as the good things of this life can please them, and his Horse and Jack are in the best order for covering. Good pasture for Mares. Jonathan Averel. Ashford, Eastford Society, May 9, 1793.

743. WH Sat May 25, 1793: Bosphorus, that truly tough and game full bred Horse, will cover the ensuing season, at the stable of Eliphas
Hibbard, in Mansfield, North Society, at four dollars the season, fifteen shillings the single leap, payable on or before the first day of

Bosphorus’s sire and dam were imported by Gov. Sharp (of Maryland). He is jet black, full fifteen hands and one inch high, with bone, muscle
and figure sufficient to attract the notice of breeders of good horses. The owner doubts not but Bosphorus’s points will stand the test of the
strictest examination; and pledges himself that the facts stated in the following pedigree are well authenticated. Bosphorus was got by
Brilliant, out of the Maid of the Mill, his grand-dam Selima,, his great-grand-dam Old Selima, bred by Lord Godolphin; Brilliant was got by
Badger, his grand sire was got by Lord Chedworth’s Bosphorus, justly esteemed the best twelve stone Horse in England, the Maid of the Mill
