Stop Her! $20 Reward! On the evening of the 14th inst., Desire SABIN, female prisoner, confined for adultery, made her escape from the Goal of this County. She is a fine buxom looking woman; about 40 years of age, has lost her fore teeth, her eyes are lively black, fair complexion and her countenance declares that Venus is yet at high meridian. She had no peculiar mark by which to distinguish her from other weak sisters of the household of love. Whoever will stop her, and bring her back to her place of confinement shall receive the above reward. James WHEELER, Sheriff

William GALLUP, died at Kingston on Friday last, aged about 40. On the morning of the day of his death he went out about a mile to cut some wood. At noon one of his children was sent to call him to dinner, who returned directly with the afflicting news that his father was dead. A number of the neighbors immediately repaired to the place where he had been at work and there they found the unfortunate man, with his head in a small creek, and his feet lying upon the bank. From appearances it is supposed that he fell a small tree, which striking against another in its descent, sprung and struck him on the head and knocked him into the place where he was found; and that he was so stunned by the blow as not to be able to raise himself from the water, in which he drowned. He has left a numerous family to bewail his untimely fate.

10 April 1807

List of Acts passed during the second session of the 9th Congress (46 Acts) – (See p. 2-3-m)

At the Court, held this week in town, three persons were sentenced to the state prison: Alfred ARMSTRONG, a black boy about 16 years old, for burglary – three years. John JOHNSON, about 19 years of age, for burglary and larceny (two suits) – two years. David GOUGH, a lad about 15, for horse stealing – three years. This lad plead Guilty, and the Court, in the first place sentenced him to one year’s imprisonment. During the evening of the day on which he had received his sentence, Judge COOPER, it is understood, heard some reports against the general character of the lad, and the next morning ordered him before the court. He appeared and the judge altered his sentence and increased the time of him imprisonment from one to three years. They boy was remanded to jail. When lo! It appeared that his second sentence had been pronounced in a court of Common Pleas; and not in a court of Quarter Sessions. The poor fellow was a third time brought forward – a court of Quarter Sessions opened, and Judge COOPER passed sentence a third time upon him! And the last time, I am told , the prisoner was in irons. On Thursday morning the Sheriff started with the prisoners to Philadelphia. Whether any of them will be sent back again (as formerly) as illegally committed, we do not yet know. During the sitting of the court, two men (one of whom was the constable of Kingston) were hurried off to jail for whispering, where they were confined for some hours. This created great murmurs among the People.

8 May 1807

If the last winter has not been severer than any preceding one for a long course of years, it has at least, marked its way by as many melancholy circumstances. We some time ago mentioned the death of the unfortunate MERRIT, at Wyalusing, and today we have learned the fate of another citizen, who perished by the cold. In the beginning of January last, John SMITH, of Sugar-Creek, took his rifle and started into the woods on an excursion after deer. As it was often the case when his pursuit led him far from home that he took shelter at the house of some acquaintance, his family were not alarmed at his absence through the night. The next day passed, and the day following, and the anxious wife had wearied her eyes in vain, in watching the path way for the return of her partner. On the fourth, she extended the alarm for Mr. SMITH through the neighborhood, and a number of men went out in pursuit of him.
After following his track in various directions, for many miles, they, at length, towards evening came to the spot where the wretched wanderer expired. It appeared that Mr. SMITH has attempted to kindle a fire in an old log, but in blowing the spark, cold, hunger and fatigue overpowered him, and he sunk back upon the snow and without a struggle or exertion closed his eyes for ever. The day before Mr. SMITH went out, he sold his dog t a man who lived about twenty miles from him., and Mr. RUTTY (the purchaser) had led him home. But the faithful animal was found upon the breast of his old master, watching with all the solicitude of love, the moment when he should awake. He has scratched around him, and upon his master’s breast, undoubtedly to awaken him; but when he found it in vain, coiled himself over his heart, and there had nearly expired. Faithful creature! Thy fidelity and attachment shame and boasted virtues of man. The manner in which the dog found his master, is a question difficult to resolve. He was in the wilderness, ten miles from Mr. RUTTY’S and on tracking his track some distance, it appeared that he came in the direct course to the spot from the house of his new master, and it could not be discovered that he had been at all on the track of Mr. SMITH. The deceased was a man much and deservedly esteemed by his acquaintance; he has left a wife and seven children to mourn their loss and his untimely fate.

The annual election for Borough Officers, on Tuesday last, the following gentlemen were chosen for the ensuing year:
Burgess: Jesse FELL
Town Council: Ebenezer BOWMAN, Lord BUTLER, Nathan PALMER, Arnold COLT, Wiliam ROSS, Joseph SLOCUM and John P. ARNDT
High Constable: Peter YARRINGTON

Mrs. Ruth, widow of Jonathan SLOCUM, died on Wednesday last, aged 71 years. She with her husband and family, removed to this place form Rhode Island 30 years ago. Here they suffered in common with the other first settlers, all the hardships incident to the establishment of new settlements in a wilderness, together with the distresses arising from domestic persecution, and all horrors of an Indian War. A short time after the family were settled here, a party of savages attacked the house, killed a man at the door, rushed in, seized two of her children, a son and a daughter. The daughter, about five years old, they bore off, and she has never once been seen since by her friends, although it was understood she was not killed. The son was lame from a wound in his foot, and Mrs. SLOCUM, as though certain what must be his fate, as he would be unable to travel, with uncommon fortitude, stepped up to the Indian who had him, and demanded her boy. With a horrid smile, the savage gave him up, and left the house in pursuit of others.
The next year another party of Indians came down upon the settlements. Mrs. SLOCUM, his aged father, and a son (Wm. SLOCUM, Esq., of Lackawanna) were at a hay stack, in the field, where they were attacked. Resistance was vain and mercy was a stranger to the bosom of the blood-thirsty wretches. The husband of Mrs. SLOCUM, and his father fell. The Indians pursued Mr. W. SLOCUM and wounded him in the leg; and the ball has never been extracted. Thus has the cup of affliction been often and deeply drained by the unfortunate widow. A husband, father and daughter, were wrested from her by the murderous savages. Mrs. SLOCUM sustained the character of a good wife, an affectionate mother, a kind and charitable friend: and the unaffected regret, exhibited by all her acquaintance, witnesses her worth.

From the “Connecticut Courant” – Thomas HUTCHINS has advertised that I have absented myself from his bed and board, and forbid all persons trusting me on his account and cautions all persons against making me any payment on his account; I now advertise the public that the said Thomas HUTCHINS came as a fortune hunter into this town about a year ago, with a recommendation, which with some artful falsehoods induced me to marry him and take him into my house and bed which he brutality has drove me with wounds and bruises; he has threatened my life, kept me by force from entering my house to take any of my cloathing, money, or to her property; he as also forcibly detained the chest, money and property of my sister; his fears that any body will trust him are vain, as I will not pay his debts; some debts due to me when I married. I hope will not be paid to him; I have never heard that any body owed him a debt, if the do, they had better pay him immediately, as he will want it, for I shall maintain him no longer. Of the four wives he had before me, the last he quarreled away, how the other three came by their deaths he can best inform the public. But I caution all widows or maidens against marrying him, be their desire for matrimony ever so strong. Should he make his advances under a feigned name, they may look out for a little strutting, talkative, feeble, meager, hatchet faced fellow, with spindle shanks and a little warp’d in the back! Thankful HUTCHINS, East Windsor

On Mrs. GODDARD’S coming and attempting to raise him up, he said he was dying, and asked for water. On his brother Capt. Luther GODDARD and others being called to his assistance, they discovered his back to be broken and one shoulder mashed to pieces; he survived a few moments and expired, leaving a wife and six children to bemoan the loss of an affectionate husband and kind and tender parent.

Epitaph – The Happy Marriage
Here lies a constant pair below,
Who knew not matrimonial wo,
And ne’er exprsse’d a wish to part;
Love the sole regent of the heart.

And life’s last sands were sands of gold;
What precious hours – what charming weather!
You ask how long they liv’d together?
From good authority I speak,
They liv’d together – one whole week.

To Firemen! In case of fire, the following suggested to those who may be employed in its extinction: As heat and smoke ascend to the upper part of the room, a stream of pure air occupies the space near the floor, a person can crawl on his hands and knees into a room full of smoke, and by keeping his face close to the floor, he may go and return where no one could walk upright. This method is practiced by the London fireman, who have hence acquired the name of Salamanders.

Indian Anecdote – When the first civilized adventurers arrived at Wyoming, and found a permanent settlement in the year 1769, they discovered in the soil, evident marks of a long and populous pre-occupancy and yet but very few of the aboriginals in the country. They enquired of the natives the reason of the present spare population, who accounted for it by the following narration. And though we cannot presume to vouch for its authenticity, yet as the facts narrated appear to be exceedingly congenial to the ordinary habits of savagism, we are inclined to believe them tolerably correct. For it doubtless is, to sanguinary extirpations, resulting from trivial causes that the thin population in all savage countries, is in a great measure owing. We would only remark, for the better illustration of the subject, that the Sawnees town was on the west side of the Susquehannah and that of the Wyomings, on the east side, about two miles higher up. Some Shawnee Squaws of high rank went one day, to make a friendly visit to those of equal rank in Wyoming. Some of the children of the one party caught an elegant green Grasshopper; the children of the other party attempted to rob them of the prize; this produced a squabble among the children; the mothers of both parties soon enlisted in the scuffle, and as soon grew angry: furious blows and bloody noses ensued. The Shawnee women broke off abruptly their friendly visit. And, hastening home in transports of rage, related in loud and affecting accents the unhappy reencounter. Their husband catched the flame, and the next day hot with rage, marched off and made a furious attack on the Wyomingers. These though unprepared made a vigorous resistance, and after much bruising and some blood shed, night coming on hostilities ceased. The Wyomingers highly irritated by this unexpected outrage, soon after roused all their energies; made a violent assault on the Shawnees, and killed three hundred the same day; and many of the Wyomingers likewise fell. It is said that the bones of those who perished on the bloody day were still lying on the field of battle, when the first white settlers came on the ground. As trivial as the sanguinary contrast about the green grasshopper, may appear to men of sense and information; it may nevertheless be considered as sufficient a cause for war, as the question about the delivery of five deserters, which now agitates the United States and Great Britain.
