" The Indians, after their fall hunt, as
usual, have visited our frontiers in their for
mer hostile manner. On the 23d of last
month they fired on John Nowlin and Wil
liam Montgomery ; the latter received a ball
in the thigh, and another which broke bis
arm. Onthe 30th, Samuel Blair and Tho
mas Wilcock were fired on, fix miles from
this place—-the former had his powder horn
shot off, and a ball through bis clothes, and
the latter his horse killed. On the night of
the firft instant, John Drake, and three oth
ers, were fired on at their hunting camp.—
Drake is yet miffing, and supposed to be kill
ed, he being an excellent woods-man.—
Indian sign is daily discovered in different
quarters on our frontier.
