the demolition, and found that all the prisoners had been deranged by their solitary jCmifmement, except one. He had been a prisoner twenty-five years, and was led (forth during the height of the tumultuous 'riot ot the people, whilst engaged in teaijingdown the. building. He looked round with amazement; for he had seen nobody tor that space of time, and before night he j was so atl' cted that ho became a confirmled maniac, from which situation he never

NOTES ON K EN TUCKY. Extracts from section 7th ot Notes on Kentucky, now publishing in the Lexington ti.iz.'lte: la the month of October, 1779, a two keel boats were .tscending the Ohio river -inrne small distance above the mouth of Licking, the men on hoard discovered Indians standing on a sand lar on the south

lide of the river, and a canoe comingj:cros to them, with three or four in it.

'Captain Rogers, who commanded the! j boats, ordered the men to land and make j

' Hie, boats fast to the same shore near : where they were, which was immediately lone, when the parlv, consirding of about -evenly, marched through the woods up , ual iS ojm-ite the sa-tj bar where they had ' -eeti the Indians, with llie expectation o' killing or taking tbe whole, or dr ving them into the river, believing they were undiseovored bv the Indians, and that their number did not exceed twelve or fifteen. W iioo Rogers and his pat tv turned towards

i. .ii oil g, virtue a. ! wi do;n, to enrich l is IjHi" rivr, the Indian- who were fully ap'nnnl, to enhance the gior rf liis wealth, !; rrir-ed d tl.eir motions, and from whicb

thev judged of their intentions, had o se

duce them to come near him, which wa3 done, by which means he killed a large turkey. Kapily the weather was mild, and the man with broken arms could wado into Licking river, near which they lay, so deep into the water as to stoop down and drink; but Benham unable to move from

the spot where he lay, was likely to die of

thirst, when this projet occurred to Watson: he desired Benham to put his hat into his mouth in such a manner as that the hollow part of the crown should be upwards, which was done, and he went into the river and tilled it by stooping down, and by that means furnished his friend with water. Benham dresssed and splintered up the broken arms of John Watson, as well as dress his own wounds; to enable him to do which, he tore up both their shirts. They remained in this situation fifteen days, whilst their wounds healed very fast, insomuch, that with the use of a crutch, Benharn began to be able to move a little, during "which time he killed plenty of game to support them, whilst Watson was able to bring wood with his feet and water with the aid of the hat. Anut four weeks after they were wounded, Benham and his companion went to the Ohio liver.

i at the mouth of Licking, and about a mile

from where they were wounded, and from w hence they were taken by a boat descending the river, which they hailed, and were taken on board.

Among those who were taken pris i oners were Colonel John Campbell, vlajjor ASraham Chaplin. I The following most singular ctrcumstance atterided this defeat. A man ; whose name was Robert Benham, was

wounded through the hip in such a man- j ner as to render him unable to walk, he j crawled into the brush of a fallen tree, j

taking his rifle with him, and so secreted himself that the Indians passed him unnoticed. Me lav concealed two days without a mouthful of sustenance, when a raccoon came near him, and he shot it; immediate!) after his gun tired he heard somebody call, but suspecting it was Indians, he reloaded his gun, determined to soil his hfe dear; by the time his gun was charged he heard the voice again very near, and calling in plain English, "whoever yen ire, I beg you will answer me, for I am in the utmost distress." Upon this, Benham ansivor ul lii.u, and immediately appeared J din Watson, one of his unfortunate com panions, with both his arms broken; mutual congratulations wore exchanged, when Benham pointed to tin? raccoon where it lav, and directed Watson to kick it to him with his feet which he accordingly did. I laving good use of both his hands, Benhum was able to skin and prepare the rac roan for the spit, as well as to procure tire, whil st John Watson, having the full use of his feet, could with them kick and dr3g pieces of broken wood to Benham, who could make the tire and cook iln meet. Before the raccoon was cnten up, a flock f wild turkeys came in view: Benham directed Watson to j;o round thern and in-
