REW-YORK, November ro.
Last Saturday William Hetfield, an inhabi
ofElizabeth-Town, Rahway, came to Staten
Hand with a small quantity of Hour to dispose
of, that he might get some hard money, which
would enable him to pay the taxes imported
by the rebel Governor: On his return in the
evening, he was met in the Sound by one Pe
ter Terrat, a notea thief, who Supports him
felf and a gang of such mifereants, by rob
bing and plundering ; to him and his party
Hetfield ftirrendered himfelf; but after he
was a prisoner, Terrat thought Hetfield
threw something overboard, on which the in
fernal fiend took a pistol out of his pocket and
ihot him dead, laid the body on the bank of
the Sound, and went off exulting with the
other prisoners he had taken.
Hetfield has left a wife and several children
to lament their loss. It is said the people of
the country, detesting such horrid violence,
intend making enquiry into the murder, and
punish the villain as he deserves.
We since hear that a Jury has brought a ver
di6 tagainft him guilty of murder, on which he
fled from justice,
Last Thursday as fix men were unmooring
the Swallow packet, their boat overfet, by
which accident three of them were unfortu
nately drowned.
NEW-YORK, November 12.
We hear the French and General Wash
ington's Army are at York-Town, Pennffl
vania, about So Miles from Philadelphia.
We have no certain Account yet whether
the French Fleet have left the Chefapeak, or
Hid remain there.
On Saturday last departed this life Mr.
John Sidell, Taylor, a Native of Germany,
but upwards of thirty Years a Resident of this
City.—He ever supported the Character of a
truly upright Man.
Cn Sunday next, which wi 1 be
the 18th Inti, a Charity Sermon
will be preached at St. Georges
Chapel, for the Benefit of the
Charity School in this City.
^ N. B. The School conlifts of 86
Scholars, viz. 56 Boys, and 30 Girls. ihe
Children are intruded in the Principles of
the Christian Religion, and in Plalmody;
they conftaotly attend Divine Service at
Church, on Week Days as well as Sundays ;
and the utmost Attention is paid to their
Morals.
The Boys are taught Reading, Writing,
Arithmetic and Merchant's Accompts; the
Girls, Reading, Writing, Arithmetic and
Needle-Work: — 1 hey are all annually
eloathed, and are furnifhed with Books,
Paper, &c. The School is visited once a
Month, and the Children are carefully exa
mined, by a Committee, confining of the
Rc&or, and three or four Members of the
Veltry, of Trinity Church. When any of
the scholars are of Age, and properly qua
lified, they are put out to suitable Trades or
Services; and others are taken into their
Place.
This excellent Inflitution is earnestly re
commended to the Patronage cd every bene
volent Mind. Orphans, and the Children
cf indigent Parents, aie herebv fna,ched from
Ignorance and Vice, preserved from the In
fluence of bad Examples, and are qualified to
be ufeful Members of Society, Many re
fpedable Tradesmen and Citizens have re
. ceived their Education in this School. Its
only Support is derived from voluntary Do
nations, and Collections at those Sermons
which are annually preached for the Purpose.
—These Circumftanccs, it is hoped, will
waimly interest every generous and feeling
Heart in the Prosperity of an Institution so
laudable in itfelf, so beneficial to the Com
munity4 —especially at the present I ime,
when the advanced Price of Fuel, Cloathing,
&c. hath greatly increased the Expence which
attends it, arid hath already leduced the Ma
nagers of it to many Difficulties.
