W HEREAS, Edward Broadfield, of Trenton, came from England, in order to cure and put up STURGEON in the best manner, dif- ferent to any that has been put up in these parts; and for these five years past, at great expence, has carried on the business, and given a general satis- faction to those who have bought for exportation, or home-consumption. The said Broadfield is just arrived with a quantity of the said fish, and those persons who have already favour'd him with their custom, and finds them to be deserving of recommendation, hopes that it will not be wanting, in order to encourage the said fish- ery. And if care be taken to keep the said fish under pickle, it will keep good in the hottest climates, for two years, which has already been sufficiently proved; and if any of the pickle should waste, only add as much vin- egar as will cover it, putting a cloth over the cask, and the head upon that to keep the air out, and you may preserve them as long as you please. The said fish is to be sold at Jacob Kimper's, next door to Mr. Derrick Schuyler's in Dock-street, near Coentjes-Market .- The New York Mercury, October 3, 1757.

NASSAU-HALL, (New-Jersey) Sept. 29, 1757. On Monday last was interred the Rev. Mr. AARON BURR, President of this College. He died on the 24th Instant, in the 4Ist year of his Age. His Funeral was attended by several Ministers, all the Students, and a large Num- ber of the neighbouring Inhabitants. Universal was the Grief upon this melancholy Occasion, and the Loss of so valuable a Man diffuses a general Sorrow among all Ranks of People. He was born at Fairfield, in Con- necticut, and descended from one of the most consider- able Families in New-England. His Education he had at Yale-College, in New-Haven, and was reputed one of the best Scholars in his Class. He offered himself to an Examination as a Candidate for the Dean's Bounty, * and was adjudged worthy to enjoy that Benevolence. About the year 1736 he settled in the Ministry at New- ark, and in his sacred Function was equally laborious and successful. On the Death of the Rev. Mr. Dickin- son, in the year 1747, he took upon him the Charge of the College of New-Jersey, which then consisted of about Eight Students, tho' at the Time of his Death, the Number, by the Blessing of Heaven on his unpar- ralell'd Industry, was augmented (including the Gram- mar School) to upwards of Eighty. While the College Funds were insufficient to support a President, he served without a Salary, in that arduous Station, for the Space of three years. He was a Gentleman of great Judgment, Sagacity, and Erudition: In his Temper, open, generous, familiar, and humane: In Conversa- tion, as the Subject required, solemn or facetious, and in both, entertaining and instructive: Of such disinter- ested and diffusive Benevolence as even to conciliate Malice, and repress the Efforts of Detraction. For
* Dean Barclay, afterwards Bishop of Cloyne.

Quickness of Apprehension, and Vivacity of Spirits the Admiration of all his Acquaintance: A learned and pro- found Divine; amiably candid in his religious Senti- ments, and in the Pulpit, fluent, sublime, and persua- sive: In his pastoral Character, venerable and serious; but his Seriousness, so far from gloomy or austere, dis- covered a perpetual Fund of that heart-felt Joy which results from real Goodness and Tranquility of Con- science. His Sermons, in which he blended Imagination with Judgment, and joined Elegance to Solidity, were wonderfully adapted to reform the Taste, to mend the Morals, and to warm the Heart. By his Pupils he was beloved as a Friend, and, like a Father, rever'd and hon- our'd." In promoting the Prosperity of the Seminary over which he presided, he was discouraged by no Dis- appointments; but of unwearied Assiduity and inflex- ible Resolution. By his pious Instructions and Ex- ample, his affectionate Addresses and gentle Discipline, he initiated the Students, as well in the School of Jesus, as in the Literature of Greece and Rome; and enured even the Youth, in the full Luxury of Blood, to fly the infectious World, and tread the Paths of Virtue. But the rest of his Accomplishments were shaded and eclipsed by the still brighter Lustre of his more resplend- ent Piety. With an ardent Affection for his divine Mas- ter, and an exemplary Conformity to his unerring Pat- tern, he crowned all his other amiable Qualities, and exalted the Great MAN, into the greater CHRISTIAN. After a Life so gloriously spent, well might he

A Proposal for forming a triple Union of our Colonies in North America, in order to retrieve our Losses, and prevent the like for the future.
For this Purpose we ought to divide our several Col- onies in North America into certain Parts, whose Situ- ation is much the same, and whose Interest that rules every Thing, is most easily connected. Our Colonies on the Continent of North America are usually divided into the northern and southern Colonies; which Divis- ion only regards their Trade, but not their Security and Protection. With regard to these, we should consider, all those remote and distant Provinces, and different Colonies, as making only three different Countries, the Northern, Middle, and Southern. Under the first I in- clude Nova-Scotia, New-England, New-York and New- Jersey. - The Pennsylvania Journal, No. 775, October 13, 1757.

1 A lawyer. See p. 14, ante.
" Moore Furman was at this time Postmaster at Trenton, where he was a highly esteemed merchant. Soon after 1762 he removed to Phila- delphia, where he was in mercantile business with Andrew Reed, the firm name being Reed & Furman. He appears to have removed thence to Pittstown, N. J., where he was in 1778, but in the spring of 1780 he was at Trenton. He was Deputy Quartermaster General of New Jer- sey during the war, and General Stryker says "he was a faithful patriot, and greatly entrusted by the government and by Washington during the Revolution." He married Sarah White, eldest daughter of Townsend White, of Philadelphia, March 17, 1767. Mr. Furman was a Trustee of the Presbyterian Church of Trenton, 1760-62, and 1783-1808, and occupied what is now (1897) the hotel known as the State Street House, on State street, having his office in a one-story brick building adjoining. He was the first Mayor of Trenton, under the charter of 1792. He died in that city, March 16, 1808, in his eightieth year.
3 John Ewing graduated from the College of New Jersey in 1754, and was a tutor in the College for three years thereafter. In 1758 he be- came pastor of the First Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia. In 1773 he visited Europe, where he remained two years, during which time he received the degree of D. D. from Edinburgh University. He re- turned to America in 1775, and in 1779 was appointed Provost of the University of Pennsylvania. He died Sept. 8, 1802.

1 The Rev. Thomas Bradbury Chandler, rector of St. John's Church at Elizabethtown, and one of the most noted men of his day. He was a zealous Loyalist during the Revolution.
2 The Rev. Abraham Keteltas, born in New York, Dec. 26, 1732, was ordained pastor of the Presbyterian Church at Elizabethtown, Sept. 14, 1757, and continued there until July, 1760, soon after which he took up his residence at Jamaica, L. I., where he died Sept. 30, 179S. During the Revolution he made himself very obnoxious to the British by his ar- dent and outspoken patriotism.
3 'The Rev. Isaac Brown was a descendant of John Brown, one of the first settlers of Newark in 1666. He graduated at Yale College in 1729, and in 1733 was appointed rector of the Episcopal Church at Setauket, town of Brookhaven, L. I., where he remained for fourteen years, ac- quiring the reputation of being "a man of talents and education." In 1747 he became rector of Trinity Church, Newark. He practiced med- icine in Newark, and when he sent his bills to members of his congre- gation for medical advice, some of them thought it should have been included in his spiritual ministrations, and there was some friction in consequence. At the beginning of the Revolution he was an outspoken Loyalist, and in consequence of his zeal was confined in the Morris County jail early in 1777, only to be released in order that he and his family might be sent to the enemy in New York. In 1784 he went to Annapolis, Nova Scotia, where he died in 1787. Mr. Brown had a daugh- ter who married Isaac Ogden, a prominent Newark lawyer, a Loyalist in the Revolution: she died March 15, 1772, aged 26 years.

HUGH HARTSHORNE,1 Clerk. -- The Pennsylvania Ga- zette, No. 1507, November 10, 1757.
1 The Hartshorne family of Monmouth County trace their ancestry to Richard Hartshorne, the son of William Hartshorne, of Leicester- shire, England. Richard was a brother of Hugh Hartshorne, who was a citizen of London, and was admitted to the freedom of the Skinners' Company, Aug. 1, 1654. He was an "upholsterer" of Houndsditch, and is referred to sometimes as a "skinner," an "upholsterer," and as a "merchant." He was one of the Twenty-four Proprietors of East Jersey, named in the confirmatory grant of March 14, 1682-3, from the Duke of York. He died April 25, 1684, aged 55 years. There is no rea- son to suppose that he ever visited America .-. V. J. Archires, I., 366, 374, 383, 412, 528; Whitehead's East Jersey, 2d ed., 118, 178; N. Y. Gen. and Biog. Record, XIV., 95; Old Times in Old Monmouth, 12.
Richard Hartshorne was born Oct. 24, 1641, at Hathearne, Leicester- shire, England; he married Margaret Carr, Nov. 27, 1670. Coming from' London to America, in September, 1669, he located at East Jersey, and took up an extensive tract of land at Middletown and the Highlands of the Navesink (acquiring Sandy Hook in 1677), where he lavished a generous hospitality, as attested by George Fox and others, he being a Friend, and naturally partial to the traveling ministers of that per- suasion .- Smith's Hist. N. J., 63, note; N. J. Archires, II., 329, note; Old Times in Old Monmouth, 12. He was Town Clerk of Middletown in 1675 .- Hist. Mon- mouth County, 519. In 1683 he was appointed Sheriff of Monmouth County, an honor he sought to decline .- N. J. Archives, XIII., 77. The precedent has not been followed to any extent. In 1863 he also became a member of Gov. Gawen Laurie's Council. In the same year he was elected to the Assembly, and in 1686 was Speaker of that body, holding that posi- tion until October, 1693, and again, from February, 1696, to March, 1698, when he became a member of Gov. Jeremiah Basse's Council. He con- tinued in the Assembly also, and held both offices until the surrender of the Province to the Crown, in 1702 .- N. J. Archives, I., 220, note. He was again elected to the Assembly from the Eastern Division in 1703 and 1704. He died in 1722 .- Old Times in Old Monmouth, 291; Hist. Monmouth County, 534.
His children were: 1. Robert, born 5th 12th mo. 1671; probably died young; 2. Hugh, born 15th 5th mo. 1673; died in infancy; 3. Thomas, born 14th 9th mo. 1674; 4. Mary, born 14th 8th mo. 1676; married Clayton; 5. William, born 22d 1st mo. 1678-9; lived at Portland, on the Highlands; died 1748; had issue: Richard, William, Margaret Mott.
