James Robertson, Esq;
Captain General ,rd Governor in Chief, in and ov^r
the Province of New-Yok, and the ^"erritn^e de^
pending thereon in America, Chancellor and Vice-
Admiral of the fame, and Major-General df hie
Majesty's Forces'.
A PROCLAMATION.
THE Necessity of a seasonable and ample Supply of
FUEL, for the Use of his Majed's Troops,
obligesme, however reluctant to call on the Inhabtants
of Long-Island, to furnifh a Proportion bf Wood for the
Barrack-Yard in New-York, federal Plans have been
fucccffiveL, adapted ; but without ' their Affiance a Ef
ficient Quantity to guard againfl the Severities of along
Winter cannot be procured ; and 1 flatter rarfelf, they
will the more cheerfully comply with the Requifirion. as
the Burthen, if any, will be equally borne, and the In
jury that muff unavoidably befol Individuals, from arf
unforefeen Deficiency be prevented.
The County of King's is therefore required to get
,500 Cords; Queen's County 4500 ; and the Western
Parted Suffolk (including Huntington, HI p, Smith-
Town, and Broo^haveo) 3^oo Cords, ready cut and
corded bv the 1 sth of August ensuing.
Arid that the Distribution may be equally made and all
Walk avoided, the Civil and Military Officers of teach
Courny will meet, on Saturday the 2 sth loft, at Fiat-
Buffi, Jamaica, and Smith-Town, and assess on each
pierid, a proportionate Part of the Quantity demanded.
The Officers in the Diftrift will then direct the Farmers
each to cut his Part, regulating it by the Wood Land he
possesses; and on Notice being given, will muster the
Teams of the Neighbourhood, and cart the Weed to such
Landing as (hall be appointed, where the Wood ready
corded, is to be by them surveyed in the Presence of the
Barrack Officer, who will give a Certificate on the Spot
for the Number of Cords, to the Proprietor at the Rae
of Thirty Shilling! per Cord for Walnut, and Tvvot, for
Oak ; and also for the Cartage, at the Rate of Four
Sbillmgs aCord per Mile. The Teams so employed will
be fully protected; and the Certificates punctually paid.
6 The foregoing Regulations not being adapted to the
Situation of the eaftetn Part of Suffolk ; the Inhabitants
of Southold, Sou hampton, and East Hampton, are re
quired to cut in the Wood Lands late belonging to Wil.
him Smith, and William Floyd of said County (now
gut in Rebellion) in the parts thereof nearaft to the
Landing by Maffick Neck, 3000 Cords of Wood, to be
ready by tbefirft of September. On due Information br
ing given, they will cart the fame, and attend in the
mean while to its Preservation, and when surveyed on
th. Water-fid,, they will receive at the Rate of Ten
Shillings per Cord, for cutting and carting ns above men
tioned.
These Orders being calculated at ones to provide for the
Armt, and to give every Security to the Farmer against
others interfering with his Property; he will be left
without Excuse, if by a criminal Negle& he does not
avail himfelf , Qthe advantageous Offers held out to him,
and must expert to fuffer all the Evils consequent on his
Bifobedience.
Given under my Hand, and the Great Seal of the
Province of New-York, in the City of New-
York, the 16th Day of June, Ooe Thousand
Seven Hundred and Eighty, in the 20th Year
of his Majesty's Reign.

Incomparable Worm-destroying
SUGAR PLUMB S,
Necessary to be kept in all Families.
SO exceedingly valued by all People who have bad
of them in Great Britain and Ireland, for tbeir
transcendent Excellency in the defroying Worms of all
kinds both in the Bodies of Men, Women, andCbildren,
by not only breaking tbe Knots in the Duodenum or Gut
next tbe Stomach, but they pass through tbe fmatlefl
Pnfages of tbe Body, and purge away tbe ropy and
(limy Humours which are tbe cause of those pernicious
Fermin, and tbe Source of many otb*r Disorders; they
are one of tbe bed Purges in the whole World forgrofs
bodied Children that are apt to breed Worms, andcave
large Bellies; tbeir Operation is mild, fafe and flea
fant ; they wonderfully cleanse the Bowels of allfltf
and clammy Humours whschflop up tbe Parts and
preverfthe Juice of Food being conveyed to tbe Liver
and made Blood, mfirh is o+ten the Case with Children,
and is attended -with a bard Belly, finking Breath,
frequent Fevers, Rickets, and a Decay of Strength in
tbr logger parts .Likewise • fettled Acb.es and painsin
tbe Head, fwel/i^gs, old Sores, Scabs, Tetters, or
Breaki^gs-Out, aptl! be perfeFtiy cur'd, and the Blood
and Skin refold {0 its, original Purity, and Smootb
nefs; they purpe by Urine, and bring away~the Gra
vel, ard tfcßuri.l!, cure all gifrußions of tbe Urine,
0- Ulerfs or tbe Kidneys'. I'bey at once firike at tbe
true cause of the Scurfy, and entirely defiroy it, at all
feorbutick Humors and, EffeHs, Root and Branch,Jo
as never to return afain, aadcwhat makes them more
commendable is,.ti)r¥ are:full as , agreeable to both taste
and light, as Loef Sugar; aud in tbeir Operation as
innocent as new Milk.
I have by these Plumbs cured a great many Children
of the Wbcnfidg-Cmigb, and Agues, icbicb Dis
tempers aft very commc'n and'troublefeme to Families,
and tbe Want ojtkefePlumbs are tbe Ruin oj Many
Children's Confitutions.
The Plumb is a great Dieuretick, clennfing the Reins
of Slime; it expelsW:nd, and is a sovereign Medicins
in the Cbolick and griping of the Guts. It allays and
carries off four Vapours -which occafon many Difordere
in tbe Head. It opens all OfftruHions in the Stomach,
Lungs, Liver, Reins and Bladder; causes a good Ap
petite and helps Digeffioh. It bath been found won
derfully fuccejsjul to Jack Persons as isre'-going into
Chronical Difempery, as .Ajlkmas, PWUficks, Sport
nefs of Breath, Drofyies and Tellock) Jaundice. Now
I hope all impartial p erson, arefatisfied, that tbe Me
dicine which works upon such Humours, will almofi
teach any Diflemper, if not 'too far gone, face Corrup
