GREET I N G,
Prefntcd by a Committee , confifivg of
Miffcs Tabitha Hahakkuk,
Rachael Toothandnail,
Diana Gadabout,
Peggy Finder and
Ann Stcwarder.
WE’VE come, Messrs. Printers, in wofulcon
condilion,
On our knees to prelent, e’en one small peti
tion ;
Being sadly barrafs’dby that vile rate, the men,
Tho’ mltcad of protciting, infultus women.
They thought, that we women were brutes, to
be furc,
That vve have no more foul than a Norwegian
bear,
That our passions are frigid, congeal’d, void of
fire,
Deflitute of all beauty the youths to inspire.
Confidcring tbefe things, at a mcetinglaft week,
In an open affcmbly, where each one could
speak;
Miss Lucinda Tootblcfs took her (eat in due
Hate,
Giving three raps for fiience, op’d the grand
debate :
Dear fillers, pray li Hen, and give good attention,
Nor fruftratc the motives ot this new conven
tion,
1 have news to inform you,will make your hearts
break,
But I pray be compos’d, and attend for my fake;
That vile race of infedts, which tec, Bachelors
call,
Have lately had a meeting at Bachelors Hall ;
At which they relolved, to wed none over
t bitty,
Nor pay e’en compliments to any pad forty !
Reftri6lions they also have pafs’d on their sex,
.Lord 1 how I could leratch them it does me so
vex !
That, no fop nor fribble shall eVrconie neartts,
But .forever that all mankind shall forfwcar us.
Our only resort is to choose a committee
Ol live worthy fillers, both handfomeand witty,
To wait on the Printers and requefta repeal,
Os thole afls lately pafs’d under Bachelors
seal :
We know they have influence o’er those giddv
coots,
They arceafily led by thenofe e’n like brutes :
For fliould tliTy once fee us, with fair re* fun
their guide,
They would burn all their afts, and feck pardon
belide.
Pray, good Mclfrs. Printers, now exert all your
Ikill, ;
To lave a Society, tottering down n steep hill :
Only, whifp-r one word to tfiole going allray,
And she w them the ditf’rence betwixt midnight
and day.
Also, Hop M.fter Dicky , don't let him appear
Again in your Papers, at least for one year ;
I! you fliould, we (tho’ women) will ilick to
him like leeches,
And Tis ten to one, Dicky, wc pull down your
b s.
i’rom a Lexington Paper.
Mr. Sc'ivc/rty
If you think the following is worth
communicating to the public, please to
give it a place in your paper—
Clarhe-amnty , June 6, 1796.
** Information was given me by Mr.
Peter Sholl, that at the house of a certain
jMr. Bell, who lives on the waters of
Stoner, that blood was frequently seen
on the floor of his house, and was seen by
iVIr. Bell, on the plantation, in the yard,
which gave the family and fome of the
neighbours suspicion: upon which fevcral
of the neighbours aflembled at the house
of Bell, who examined, under the
expectation, that fonfb person had been
killed at that place, before thefaid Beli
moved his family there ; and at length
found the appearance of the ends of fome
puncheons, in a fink hole near the house ;
and upon which difeovery they removed
the earth off them, and raised the pun
cheons, and found that the under fide of
them was burnt to a coal, and found
fome pieces of bones ofa human person,
but much burnt ; but so much was
found, as to give full fatisfaffion that
fotne person was burnt. Some of the
thigh, h p, arm, neck bones, were found,
and the cup of the knee ; which difeove
ry was made on Sundry the sth inilant.
Upon this information, I went over
inyfelf, and saw the burnt puncheons,
and the place from whence they were
removed, and the bones as above deferi
bed and the find Mrs. Bell laid, die
was willing to be qualified, that lhe saw
the blood as above related, and one of
her neighbours,. Mr. Stinion, said, he
saw the blood on himfelf, and
it appeared to him to rife out of the pun
cheons. on the floor—but as the blood
appearing on the floor, I know nothino
ot mv own knowledge, but have reason
to behove that the persons who gave the
bJmfi 1 JhT! 1 tliat , fome P crfbl ? been
who it W oc f aLC aoovc men tioncd, but
who it w.,s 1 was not able t o find-out,
or who commuted the murder, nor do I
think it pruuent at this time, to give
Columbian JtfluCeum, £?<♦
you a relation who is fufpe&ed of com
mitting this horrible crime—but as to
the person murdered, it is suspected to
be a gentleman from the ilate of Geor
gia, who was in pursuit of fome negroes
which were itolc from him.
“ I thought a publication of this kind
might be a means of our getting ionic
farther information by fome of the mur
, dcred person’s relations or acquaintance
who he was, which might bring fome
things to light, so as to enable the offi
cers of this county to take hold of the
suspected person or persons.
i am, fir, your’s, &c.
JILSON BAYNE.
“ N. B. It is earnestly requested, if
the above relation Ihould come to the
know ledge of any person who knows of
one being loft or miffing since the be
ginning of February 1795, would make
it known as soon as pollible, to fome
jufticc of this neighbourhood. A num
ber of people of this place have their
thoughts who was the person or persons
guilty of the horrid act.”
