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.
