our meeting hash not bee, abftill,te
our information so extensive as we ex

and cause of praise to our common
Father, God and Saviour, that his
Spirit co-operates with the means of

by „ Saviour of Truth is macle to
prevail io a considerable degree in
many places, that numbers are bro't
to fee the extent of God's love and
salvation from the curse of the law,
whereby they are made willing to re
ceive the inward manifeftarions there

to deny on godlinefi and worldly lusts,
to live soberly, righteously, and godly
I,ri this present world. Dear brethren,
whom as the day spring from on high

the manifesting of this love and falva

faith, and endeavour to convince our
fellow heirs of the great filvation,
who, from want of knowledge of ra
truth, are rejeaing it ; that mankind
in themselves are poor, mifer^fe,
blind and naked, arid that our treafee
of perfea wisdom, righteousness, sane

I IN oar 4#ft to rcptim,c m@
liter of the wife of Pdtbh "rara„
;Henry M'C^ufti g. Perhaps it may
be well to state force of the circum*
fiances which led to the horrid mur
der.n-U appears rfat M'Caufting has
lately become deluded in matters of
religion. For forne time palt he has
principally affociaied hfmfelf with it
party of baptists, living on 3 plantar
tton batk of Piufton, headed by otre
Stinlon, und two or three ochers, in
one of his paroxisms of re igious in,'
sanity, he burnt an elegant church id?
the town of Pittston; He fays that.
Sttofan told him that his brother Ed
ward Fortis; who was lately executed
for the murder of Pamela Tiko&;wt
certainly gone to heaven, add that the
/road to heaven was mat ked with btood.
M°Caufting thought, that a, Fortis
had gone to heaven he should go there
too. provided he fho&d rife the fame
meaiC— Afterthe had reasoned him
feif into lhe propriety of going to
heaven in blood, who foould fall by °
his hand, was hty new>objtd of in- r
quiry. HSpitehecffm Mr, Warren,
w<ntm her houie end inquired after
her^ sod finding thap the had gone to
vifita fek mother, about ten miles up
thefceam, hi periled her, in a dark
sight, thtygh woodland over rivers,
which were almost impassable by day.
When he arrived at the fatal (pot, he
found her fitting behind, and holding
u,ter tick mother's head. Waiting
his opportunity; he flung her back,
with his left handy and with his righ:
drew a knife from his pocket, where
he had concealed it, and inftamly cut
her throaty without her bring able to
fay. more than this—" M'Canfling, are
^ g°i*g tempter me /"—He imme
diately Hed, but was loon arretted and
committed to gaol, where he must re
main for the lenience which awaits
him.
Fanaticism only, led this poor mor
tal affray. Let those who have been
the means Jee well to it that they clear
themselves of the blood which has
been fpilt, , It seems, by his own coq
feffion, that he had not only marked
out the Rev. Mr. Warren end others,
as objeds of deftruaton, but his own ,
Family, he in^nded ffcu# fall by hit
hands.
