POUGHKEEPSIE, June 8.
Last week came to town a gentleman from Tryon
county, who brings advices, that fume Indians in
those parts, under, or instigated by Butler, had
difeovered signs of hoflile intentions against our back
settlements, and soon after it was reported that they
had cut cff 20 families in Cherry Valley.---But.we
know not what authority there was for the report.
However we are informed that the militia there, will
be fufficient to repel any attack they might make in
that quarter.
FISHKI L L, June 11.
Extract of a letterfrom Albany, June 8, 1778.
66 The enemy have destroyed nine dwelling houses,
besides barns, &c. and those unhappy Americans
who fell into their hands have been most inhumanly
butchered. We have not hea^d from that quarter
these two days past, and there is reason to suppose
they hav: gone off, hearing that our people are ga
thering faft.
“ Another party of Indians and Tories have at
tacked some settlements at Sacondago, a place about
ten miles from Johnffown, where they have'taken
two or three prisoners."
We hear that on last Saturday, some companies of
the militia, in Ulster county, marched to a place
near the Minifink, where it was reported the Indians
and Tories had destroyed some houses; we have not
heard of the loss of any lives in that quarter as yet.--,
Thus the Tories and their brothers the Indians, are
disturbing our peace ! 'tis not doubted but e'er long
they will have abundant reason to repent their pro
ceedings. >

“ that the date of Virginia has, in pursuance of are
commendation of congress, puffed a general a& of par
don and indemnity in favour of her fubje&s who have

Surinham MOLASSES
Of the very best Quality, fold at the Corner of
Irijh Street, by
MOORE and NEA LL.
A most amazing Cure, by the Use of Maredams Antiscorbutic
Drops, prepared by Mr. Norton, Surgeon, in Golden
Square,
ABOUT twenty Years since, I got a violent Surfeit,
by leaping into the Water when hot; after trying
many Things to no Purpose, was advised to drink Salt-
Water, and go into the Sea, which I complied with
some Years, when my Disorder ftrua in: I afcri bed it to
my going into the Water in the Month of February, it
being then at a long Distance from the Shore; from
which Time I date the loss of Health. I then had an
Issue cut, which I thought did me Service, In a Morn
ing I was greatly affiaed with violent Reachings, which
greatly weakened my Spirits, and kept increasing till
February, 1765. My Head was so greatly aft ' ded, that
I pitched out of a Chair, as if in a Fit of Apoplexy; I
was now persuaded to have two more Issues cut bewixt my
Shoulders. About June, 176 g, I had the Advice of an
eminent Physician, whose Direaions were followed, but
no Benefit received ; I grew worse, had such a prodigicus
Uneasiness in my Stomach, that I was almost diftia&ed ;
a Blister was applied to my Head ; 1 don't think I had 6
Hours Sleep in 6 Months ; Laudanum was now given to
compose me: Another famous Physician ordered bathing
in the Sea, to emit one drop of Laudanum Daily, and
take certain things; it did me Service, that, afser fix
Weeks bathing, &c. I got fairly rid of the Laudanum;
I have been ever since perhaps in the most miserable Man
ner „,r known, hardly any Sleep till the late hard Frost
ended. I was persuaded, by a Friend, to try Maredant's
Drops, he made me this (1 think) just Remark, that it
was almost impossible for me to be worse, and that their
was a Possibility of their doing me good. The Night the
Thaw came on, I had such a Sleep, that I had not met
with before for three Years. The time I was so extreme
bad, generally what I difeharged upwards, in the Nature
of Spittle, so congealed, that it would not dissolve for
some Days, it now came from me by Stool, which gave
me great Ease; 1 continued keeping, from the fi ft Night's
Rest, till the :Bth of February, much the fame; my
Belly, hard like a Drum's-Head, was now very pliant,
anti surprisingly eased ; Wat^'now issued from my Groins,
that were so fore, it was a Trouble to fit, stand or lie;
in four Days afterwards this abated, and the Humour
came out on my Thighs and Legs, which was thought,
by the Phyfieians, to be impossible. Thank God, lam
so unexpe&dly relieved, that I have been to fee several
Friends, and begin, after three Years Misery and Con
finement, to fee after my Affairs. If it was in the Power
of any Person to give me the whole national Debt of En
gland, to remain in the State I was in before I took theft
Drops, I would not accept of it. I don't publish this with
any View of serving Mr. Norton, nor did he ever request
it of me, but entirely for the Benefit of the Public.
