Windham, April 28, 1794.
501. WH Sat May 2, 1795: Will stand this season at
the stable of the subscriber in Lebanon, (Crank Society) the famous
young Horse Grand
Turk. He will be three years old the 25th of June next, is a beautiful
bright bay colour, 15 and a half hands high, and every way well
proportioned. His figure is truly elegant, and he is well calculated
to recommend himself. Grand Turk was sired by the full-blooded horse
Recovery, well known by the name of the Pool horse. His dam was the noted
Rockwell mare. She was out of a famous mare, and was sired by the old
Demming horse. He sired the most good saddle horses of any horse in America.
The terms are three dollars the season and two dollars the single leap,
cash in hand, or four dollars the season, and fifteen shillings the single
leap, if bookd, and seven dollars to insure a
foal. Good pasturing for mares, and the greatest attention will be paid
by their humble servant. Benjamin Thacher, jun. Lebanon, 17th April,
1795.
502. WH Sat May 2, 1795: Will be let to mares the present
season, the Young Liberty, A full blooded beautiful bay horse, four
years old, 15
hands 1 inch high. His sire was the famous Liberty which I was to unfortunate
as to lose a year ago the 5th of last March. He was allowed
by the best of judges the best horse in America, and was without a fault.
His colts in this vicinity which are one year old this spring are the
likeliest that ever was raised in these parts. The owners of many of
them have refused 200 dollars for a colt at the age of 10 months. The
dam of the Young Liberty was the White Stocking, an imported full blooded
mare, and remarkable for swiftness. The Young Liberty is allowed
by the best judges to come nearest the Old Liberty to any horse on the
Continent, and bids fair to equal him in a very short time The terms,
three dollars the single leap and five dollars the season, paid in hand.
He will be kept at the stable of William Stanton in Preston, the first
week in May, from thence to Lucius Carys stable in Windham the
11th day at 12 oclock, there to continue until the 12th day at
12 oclock, from thence to Mr. Dan Storrs stable in Mansfield,
there to continue until Thursday morning, from thence to Capt. Oliver
Coits in Preston, there to continue until 25th, from thence to
the first mentioned stable, and will continue the same rout in the same
manner through the season. Strict attention shall be paid by the publicks
humble servant. Benjamin Clark. Plainfield, April 28, 1795.
503. WH Sat May 2, 1795: Will cover mares at the stable
of the subscriber in the North society in Mansfield, the present
season, that well known horse called Nabob. He is a dark bay colour,
15 hands high, handsome carriage, and remarkable sure; out of 65
mares that he covered
last season but six failed. He was sired by the famous horse Liberty,
and his colts are very near if not equal to the Libertys. The mare
he
came out of, was half blooded, which makes him three quarters blooded;
being the same horse that the subscriber has kept the two last seasons.
The terms eight shillings the leap, or twelve shillings the season, money
paid down, of fifteen shillings if paid next fall, or twenty-four shillings
for ensuring a foal. The 2d Monday in May he will be at the stable of
Nathaniel Williamson, in Windham, being the stable improved by the subscriber
the last season, where he will continue two days, from thence he will
go to Mr. Dan Storrs where he will be on Wednesday. On Friday he
will be at Mr. Abel Holmess, in Willington, where he will continue
two days, and from thence to the subscribers stable. Good pasturing
at a reasonable price, and good attendance given, by Abel Clarke. Mansfield,
April 29, 1795.
504. WH Sat May 2, 1795: Badger. The full-blooded English
Horse Badger, will stand at the stable of the subscriber in Canterbury,
for the
ensuing season, except from Tuesday noon till Wednesday 3 oclock
P.M. in each week, at which time he will be at Mr. John Parishs,
in
Brooklyn. He is a just made horse, 16 hands and one inch high, of a beautiful
bay colour, nine years old last spring. Badger was sired by
Mr. Carols Old Badger, the most noted horse in Maryland. His dam
was Teb, sired by Janus, upon Diana, a thorough bred hunting mare, imported
by Mr. Charles Chew. Badger has been proved to be an excellent horse
for stock and sure for foals. Mr. William Robinson, of Georgetown, in
Maryland, sold one of his colts, a gelding not four years old, for 320
dollars. Another of his colts, which was a gelding, has been sold by
Mr. _____ Fonsdale last spring, for 350 dollars. Said horse will cover
at five dollars a season, or three dollars the single leap. Constant
attendance will be given by Asahel Adams. Canterbury, (old society) April
17, 1795.
505. WH Sat May 2, 1795: To cover, the present season,
at the stable of Capt. John Falshaw, in Killingly, at six dollars
the season, or four
dollars the single leap, the famous English Horse Bashaw. He is of a
beautiful bay colour, sixteen hands high, and otherwise well
proportioned for his height; eleven years old this season. He was purchased
last spring in the city of New York, where he was bred, and
where he covered mares the season before at eight dollars, and proved
remarkable sure for colts; it is said his colts are not exceeded from
any other horse. Perhaps as much might be said with candour as to his
pedigree, as of any other horse, but I will only insert that he was
sired by the noted imported horse Bashaw, and came out of a full-blooded
English mare, and is one of the best bred horses in this part of the
continent, and is really a remarkable good saddle horse. Please to call
and see him. John Gary. Killingly, April 23, 1795.
506. WH Sat May 2, 1795: Remedy for the Canker Rash.
From Thomass Massachusetts Spy, &c. Mr. Thomas, Being informed
that the disorder, generally denominated the Canker Rash, is now
prevailing in many towns in this county, and that in some it has
proved extremely mortal; motives of humanity have induced me to suggest
to the Physicians of the county, and to the suffering families, who
are, or may be, so unfortunate as to be attacked by this formidable
disease, a remedy, which has, of late, been used with great success,
in many parts of the State of Connecticut. The remedy is simply a
solution of common Salt in pure Vinegar. It is prepared as follows:
Take a pint of strong vinegar, heat it in a crockery vessel, so hot
as the hand can be comfortably borne in it; then dissolve in it so
much rock salt, (previously washed) as it will hold in solution.
Metallick vessels ought not to be used, as the vinegar will corrode
them. The medicine, thus prepared, may be used both externally and
internally. Externally, it may be used in bathing the throat, if
it is considerably tumefied. Internally, it may be used as a gargle
for the mouth and [fauces? sauces?]; and half a table spoonful may
be swallowed every half hour or forty minutes, diluted with twice
its quantity of water. I do not recommend it as an infallible remedy.
No such are to be found. But, from my own experience, and the experience
of others, I can recommend it for a trial. It has, in many instances,
effected a cure of itself; in almost every instance it has afforded
a temporary relief. It probably operates as an antiseptick, by suddenly
and powerfully resisting the tendency to a putrid dissolution, which
the blood often
discovers in this dreadful malady. Catharticks are undoubtedly often
useful in this disorder, but it sometimes happens that, before the
friends of the patient are alarmed, a Physician called, and time for
a cathartick to operate has elapsed, the patient has bid the world an
eternal adieu. If the attending physician thinks proper to administer
a cathartick, the use of the saline mixture, above mentioned, ought to
be
suspended during its operation. In the circle of my practice at Stafford,
I have had numerous instances of this disorder. I have, as yet, been
so fortunate as to be successful in every instance. In the first cases
that occurred to me, I pursued Hushams plan: in some of later date
I have made free use of the remedy I have now suggested, together with
Calomel and the Bark. I would by no means arrogate to myself the merit
of the discovery. To the ingenious and justly celebrated Dr. Perkins,
of Plainfield, mankind are indebted for the discovery of this useful
medicine, and its introduction into practice. Samuel Willard. Petersham,
April 10th, 1795.

before the Mares are taken away. He is a full blooded English Horse,

high, of a most beautiful bay colour, 5 years old next July. Bajazet
was sired by Mr. Charles Carrols Horse Badger, perhaps the most
approved of any Horse in Maryland; Badger was sired by Apollo of Virginia,
upon an imported Mare owned by __ Portman; his dam was called Miss Trim,
a noted running mare sired by Doct. Hamiltons imported Horse Figure,
upon an imported Mare of __ Tankervels. Any gentleman wishing to
see said Horse, please to call and examine him for themselves. Good pasturage

servant, Elisha Branch. Mansfield April 23rd, 1795. Bourbon, A Jack,

dollars the single leap, and six dollars the season; he the last season

now kept in New-York, and is there esteemed the first horse in that State;
he came out of a full blooded Wilddair Mare whose dam was sent back to
England. Christopher Starr. The aforesaid horse may be seen at the stable

the famous young horse the Grenadier, three years old this spring,

lately kept by Col. Lemuel Grosvenor, Pomfret, and since by Mr. Rufus
Child, Woodstock, and his dam equal to any mare in the state to ____

recommendation than their own judgment will dictate. The terms are
Twenty Shillings the season, if the money is paid down, or Four dollars

Society) at Two
Dollars the season, or Four Dollars to ensure a foal. Said horse is the
same that I have kept for two seasons past, and has proved himself very
sure for foals, and will recommend himself as well as any other horse.
A very likely Jack will cover at the same stable, at one dollar the
season. Good attendance will be given by Pelatiah Kimbal, jun. Windham,
May 6th, 1795.
516. WH Sat May 9, 1795: The subscriber has a large

shape, to improve the stock of horses. He was sired by the noted full-blooded
horse Rover, formerly kept in Lebanon, well known by the name of the
hunt horse. Any one acquainted with that horses colts, will readily
agree that they were equal for the turf or saddle to any
ever raised in America. The terms are four dollars the season, and fifteen
shillings the single leap, if booked, and if paid down, three
dollars the season, and two dollars the single leap. Those mares that
failed the last season, go this season for half price. Good pasturing

518. WH Sat May 9, 1795: To cover this season at the
stable of James Howard in Hampton, Windham county, at the moderate

dollars, if paid down, or a good note, to wait till fall, for eight dollars,
the beautiful bright bay horse Light-Infantry. This horse is so well
known, needs no further recommendation only to say he is the same horse
I have kept two years past, and proved remarkable sure. Those
gentlemen who have good blooded mares, and depend on putting them to
said horse, are desired to send them early, for it is uncertain where
he
will be kept the next season, for there have been several applications
for him to go to the southward. Said horse will be at Mr. Dan Storrs,
in Mansfield, on Wednesday the 13th day of May, at 12 oclock, and
continue four hours; then at Dr. Howards, in Coventry, till Friday

519. WH Sat May 16, 1795: A Proclamation. Whereas,
I, the said plenipotentiary, in virtue of the power and authority
in me vested, have
entered into certain preliminary articles with the following tribes and
nations of Indians, viz. The Wyandots, Chippewas, Ottowas,
Puttawatimies, Miamis, Shawanoes, and Delawares, for a cessation of hostilities,
and for the mutual exchange and surrender of all prisoners
of every description, as well as for holding of general treaty for settling
all causes of controversy, and for establishing a permanent peace between
the United States and the aforesaid tribes of Indians on or about the
fifteenth day of June, next ensuing. Wherefore, I do hereby, in the name
of the President of the United States, prohibit and forbid all and every
person or persons, from killing, insulting or injuring any Indian or
Indians belonging to the aforesaid tribes or nations, or either of them,
(unless in their own defense.) And I do hereby also forbid any party
or parties, citizens of the United States, or either of them, from entering
the Indian country north west of the Ohio, with hostile intentions (without
permission from proper authority first obtained) between this period
and the end of the pending treaty, as the will answer a contrary conduct
at their peril. And to the end that the treaty may be carried into complete
effect, agreeably to the true intent and meaning of the preliminary articles;
the said plenipotentiary enjoins all and every person and persons having
in his or their possession any Indian prisoners, belong to those or either
of those nations, to surrender them and each of them at his place, on
or before the said fifteenth day of June next, and for which reasonable
expenses will be allowed by the public. Given under my Hand and Seal,
at Head-Quarters, Grenville, this 22d day of February, one thousand seven
hundred and seventy-five. Anthony Wayne, By order of the Commander in
Chief, Wm. H. Harrison, Aid de Camp.
520. WH Sat May 16, 1795: New-York, May 2. Extract
of a letter from a respectable officer in the Western Army, to his
friend in
Elizabeth-Town, dated Head-Quarters Grenville, Feb. 8, 1795. Peace
is the only topic of conversation here, as the Indians seem disposed
to
accept it on any terms. A deputation from all the hostile tribes, have
been with us, except the Shawanese and Delawares, they still hold out;
it is said they will come as soon as the cold weather is over. The Indians
themselves confess they are reduced to the greatest want and
distress. They say their most considerate counsellors have always been
opposed to the war, but the body of them have been misled by the
British, who constantly urged them to war, and never to bury the hatchet;
their eyes are at length opened, and the Great Spirit has shewn them
their error. Their interviews with the commander in chief were public,
and all the officers attended at those where they delivered their
speeches and wampum. The 10th of August has not only opened their eyes,
but made orators of some of them in the cause of peace; they staid
about ten or fifteen days, and were more anxious to return than usual,
being so pleased with the success of their embassy, that it hurried them
home with the glad tidings of peace. Previous to their departure they
signed the preliminaries to a treaty to be held here next June. Some
prisoners brought in with them say, they are in a state of starvation,
having no bread for more than four months; from this circumstance, the
United States will I think, have to support them next summer, for they
will take care to spin it out in the treaty; more than 3000 are
expected, I have been thus particular in this detail, as it is more than
probable you will have a great variety of contradictory reports; mine
you may confide in.
