two of them are children Of Englifh cap
tives, who were taken BY the Indians in
former Wars, one of them grandfon
about eight. years old, Of Mr. rarbull,
who was taken from Groton about iixty
years ago; heIgpsatiy rejoiced TO fee them
on this occaiion: The old gentleman was
hearty ard well, and expreiIed great affec-
ton to his relations in New England, and
deiired they might be informed of his wei
fare; he was the eldeff chief of that viii
lage.--A grandfon of Mrs. Eunice Will
liams of Deerfeld, in the year I74o,
would have come with them but was fick
with the meaaes but he is expected in
the fpring. number of Indian
CHILDREN in that ichool is eighteen.

at length thereon.-Any perion proving
their claim thereto may have the above by
