But by the A&ivity of the Inhabitants, it was prevented fpreading any further. We hear that Capt. Hallowell in the Province Ship of War, in his prefent Cruize met with a Pifcataqua Veflel which had been in very hard Gales of Wind, and was near foundering, which he convoy’d to Ha- lifax, but before he got into the Harbour difcovered a Sail in the Offing, to which he immediately gave Chace, and continued his Cruize, Capt.

Some Hours after they dif- cover'd a large Ship, fuppofed to have been of 74 Guns, but now improved as a Storefhip, as our Peo- .ple were informed by one of their Prizes which came from Breft, that fuch a Ship had failed for Louifbourg, and that fhe had 50,0001. Sterling on board for the Ufe of the Garrifon, which Ship Capt. Rous was left in chace of, when the Boreas made the beft of her Way to Halifax with the three prizes.—It was ru- moured that Capt. Rous, in the Sutherland, went to the Mouth of Louifbourg Harbour, hoifted French Colours, and fir'd for a Pilot, when two came out, which he took, and they gave an Account that the fpotted Fever rages violently among the Troops, and that Provifions were fo fcarce, that they had be- gun to kil their Horfes for want thereof :—And that the Prifoners taken on board the Veflel from Breft, reported that a large Fleet of Men of War were to fail for Louifbourg in a few Days after them.

We hear from New-Cattle, about two Miles from this Town, of a melancholy Accident which happen- ed there laft Sabbath Day about 11 o’Clock befoie Noon, at the Houfe of Deacon Jonathan Pierce’s, in which one Jofiah Furnald’s Family lived ; one Per- fon being left at home to take care of the Children, who was obliged to ftep outto a Neighbour’s Houfe a few Minutes ; and while the was gone, the Children got a Canifter of Powder about fix pounds weight, which by Accident was left in that Room, carried it to the Fire, not knowing the confequence of Powder, puta Coal to the fame, which blowing up, damaged the Houfe very much, tore a Clofet in the Room to pieces, and blew one of the Safhes out feveral Rods from the Houfe, burnt one Child of four Years old in-fuch a Manner, that it died in a few Hours; and another Child of feven Years old it burnt in fuch a Manner, that its Life is not expeted. 1t is hoped this (and many of the like Inflances avhich has happened by the Careleffnels of leaving G uns loaded, and Powder in Childrens Way ) avill be [Jufficicnt Warning to Perlons to take Care for 1he future.
