fired from musket - consider able dis
tance, In time of war this contrivance
might be made very useful in conveying
intelligence into beseiged fortress or city
The screw bullet, however, he adds, is no
new thing, as the following account will
prove
In the year I777. when Gov George
Clinton resided in Albany, there came a
stranger to his house, one cold winter
morning. soon after the family had break
tasted. He was welcomed by the house
hold and hospitality entertained. A break
fast was ordered, and the Governor, with
his wife and daughter. who were sitting
before the fire employed in knitting. en-
tered into conversation with him about the
affairs Of the country. which naturally led
TO the inquiry what was his occupation
The emotion and hesitation with which
the stranger replied aroused the suspi-
cion of the keen-sighted Clinton. He
communicated his suspicion to his wife
and daughter. who closely watched his
every word and action. Unconscious Of
this. but finding he had fallen ia among
enemies, the stranger was seen to take
something from his pocket and swallow it.
Madam Clinton with the ready tact Of
the woman of those troublous times, went
quickly into the kitchen, ordered hot cof-
fee TO be Immediately prepared, and
added to it strong dose oftartar emetic
The Stranger delighted with the smoking
beverage. partook freely Of it. and Ma
dame Clinton soon had the satisfaction of
seeing ii produce the desired effect True
to Scripture, "out Of his own mouth he
was condemned" A silver bullet ap-
Peared. which. upon examination. was
unscrewed, and found to contain an inn
por'ant despatch to Burgoyne. The spy
was tried. convicted and executed. and
the bullet is still preserved in the family.
