Americans led on by Capt. Burney
The battle was a hard fought one anrj
lasted three hours. The result was that
the Indians were driven from the village
with a loss of some sixty killed, and from
ten to twenty wounded. Eight Ameri
cans were wounded, two of them mortal
ly. One of the latter was Lieut. S. Keane,
and the other a Mr. Little. The deceased
are particularly noticed in the despatches
as having behaved wuh courage and in
trepidity After the battle the Ameri

They were pursued and constantly 'firrri

But the most horrible intelligence con

tion relieved him from the embarrassment
ot numerous heavy debts that he had pre-
viously contracted. Soon after the Doc-;
tor s acceptance ol the charge, the pews .
ot the church were sold at auction.: On
the first day there were ninety sold, the
prices which, for one year's use ranged
from JS350 to $1,650; making a total of
3G,000. The sale of the remainder of
the pews will probably raise the whole a
