In compliance with his request, she went to draw some; but upon her return. he knocked her in the head as she reached the top of the cellar stairs. The cellar door was dashed with her blood, the stain of which was never wiped off; and when the house came to be taken down, not far from a century ago, to build another on its site, this blood-stained door was removed as it was to the barn, and there, and at a house in the neighborhood to which it was subsequently conveyed, it continued for years to be exhibited as a memorial of this instance of savage cruelty." [Tradition in the Wilson family, &c.]-MS. Letter from Rev. Samuel Sewall, of Burlington, Ms., to the Author. P. 264. In the History of Framingham, Ms., by the Rev. MR. BARRY, will be found many important facts relative to the destruction of the family of Thomas Eames, of Sudbury, which that diligent author derived from original MSS. We have many others, shedding further light, in our MS. CHRONICLES above referred to, but our limits do not allow of their admission here. A few items from himself are all we can at present add. THOMAS EAMES came to New England about 1634. He served in the Pequot war, after which he was "maimed by the hand of God in his limbs." He was born in the year 1616, and in 1668, was "the father of many children," "but had not one foote of land in ye countray of his owne," and was 66 very poore." His fortune seems to have been much improved not long after, for when his house was destroyed by the Indians, in 1676, he says, "Yea, I am now left destitute, and bereaved of almost all comforts of my life, and of euery bitt of my estate, which the other day amounted to no less than aboue 350 pounds. And being very lame and aged, and have half a dozen children, each under a dozen years of age." This was about the close of Philip's war, at which time he asks the General Court to grant him the land which had been possessed by those Indians that had destroyed his family; "seeing," he says, "the ten owners and inhabitants y'of are not now extant, 6 of them burned my house and family, 3 of whome haue been hanged, and the others are all fled vnto ye enemy." The government granted him 200 acres of land, but he did not live long to enjoy it. He died on the 25th of January, 1680, æt. 64. For an account of his posterity, consult the History of Framingham. P. 280.-The treaty entered into by the chiefs of the Eastern Indians and English in the midst of Philip's war, seems not to have fallen within the notice of the chroniclers, either of that time or since. Possibly Hubbard may refer to it in his Indian Wars. It being a document of great importance, is here inscrted entire, from the Massachusetts Archives. "Pascataqua River, Cochecho, 3 July [1676.] At a meeting of ye Come appointed by ye Hond Genl. Ct. for to treat ye Inds. of the Eastern Parts in order for ye procuring an Hon" Peace with ym.

P. 303.-A more precious document than the subject of this note, we seldom have the satisfaction of laying before the public. It elucidates a passage in New England's history of the deepest interest; and had we space, much explanatory matter might be given. "Honoured Mother After my duty and my wifes presented to yourselfe these may inform you of [our] present health of our present being when other of our friends are by the barbarous heathen cut off from having a being in this world The Lord [of] late hath renewed his witnesses against vs, and hath dealt very bitterly with us in that we are deprived of the societie of our nearest friends by the breaking in of the adversarie against vs; On Friday last in the morning your own son with your two sons in Law Anthony and Thomas Bracket and their whole families were killed and taken by the Indians, we know not how, tis certainly known by us that Thomas is slain and his wife and children carried away captiue, and of Anthony and his family we haue no tidings and therefore think that thay might be captivated the night before because of the remoteness of their habitation from neighborhood, Gm Corban and all his family Gm Lewis and his wife, James Ross and all his family, Gm Durham, John Munjoy, and Daniel Wakely, Benjamin Hadwell and all his family are lost, all slain by sun an hour high in the Morning and after, Gm Wallis his dwelling house and none besides his is burnt there are of men slain 11, of women and children 23 killed and taken, we that are alive are forced upon Mr. Andrews his Island to secure our own and the liues of our families we haue but little provision and are so few in number that we are not able to bury the dead till more strength come to us, the desire of the people to your selfe is that you would be pleased to speak to Mr. Munjoy and Deacon Philips that they would entreat the Governour that forthwith aid might be sent to vs either to fight the enemie out of our borders that our English Corn may be inned in whereby we may comfortably liue or remoue vs out of Danger that we may provide for our selues elsewhere having no more at present but desiring your prayers to God for his preservation of us in these times of danger, I rest Your dutifull Son Thaddeus Clark. remember my Love to my Sister &c. ffrom Casco-bay 16. 6. 76.

UPHAM, of Bowdoin College, is the author of the ballad there given. Farmer, as above cited. P. 522.-CAPT. WHITEEYES. In the Narrative of Richard Bard's Adventures among the Indians will be found some interesting details for an enlargement of the life of this chief. See Loudon's Selection of Ind. Nars. ii. 57–71. P. 531.-HALFKING. Besides the different Indian names which we have given for this chief, another has been published in the "History of Western Pennsylvania." He is there called Tanacharison, where it is also stated that he died at Harris Ferry, (Harrisburg,) Oct. 1st, 1754. In another part of the same work, (p. 71,) it is stated that he died at the house of John Harris, of that place, and was buried by him. P. 572.-Note t. In the Boston Courier of 31th August, 1843, it is mentioned that the Capt. Newman, who fell in St. Clair's defeat, was of Boston; that he was of the class of 1766, in the Latin school, while of the same class were Isaac Coffin, since Admiral Sir Isaac, Dr. Jona. Homer, late of Newton, Dr. James Freeman, &c. P. 683. In our note stating the age and death of Daniel Boone, we have made an alteration in conformity to information_received from Rev. J. M. PECK. It now agrees with what he has since published in his excellent life of the old Pioneer, and corresponds very nearly with the facts in Niles's Register, printed at the time. INDEX.
