A gentleman at Aberdeen has

oak, feven feet long, and about
two inches diameter at the root;
after liripping of? the bark, he
caufed it to be twilied till the
fibres feparated like threads: he
then coiled it up, put it into a
vefTel, pouring in as much frefn
yeaii as covered it, and left it to
foak for two days: he then took
it out, and hung it up in an airy
garret to dry for about three
month's; after which he took it
down, put it into a covered vefiiel,
and poured in a few pints of wort,
lukewarm; in eight hours the wort
began to ferment, and in fixteen
hours thereafter he found the vefiiel
full of fine frefh barm fit for im-

They write from Charles-town,
that on Sunday, May Iii, the Ca-q
tawba Indians had notice that a
party of the Shawanefe, who have
been long their enemies, had been
feen near their town; on which
they immediately raifed a party
to go out againlt the enemy, with
whom they came up next mornl;
ing, and found them to be feven
in number, and all afleep; the
Catawbas immediately fired,_ and
killed three on the fpot, and tool;
three prifoners; one efcaped
wounded, but has fince been found
dead in the woods. Among the
prifoners is the Indian who killed
king Haggler; they were all de-
livered to the families who have.
had their relations killed byithé
Shawanele, who put them to death
in the inhuman barbarous ILQDHCI’
common to the Indian tiations. One
of the prifoners was very young,
and pleaded hard for his life, beg-
ging them to confider his tender
age, alluring them he was brought
up by his brother againll his own
inclinations, and that he had never.
killed or hurt any body; but no-
thing could prevail.
