Perth-Amboy, Jan. 26. This Day his Majesty King George the IIId, was proclaimed in this City. In the Morning the Militia of the County of Middlesex, Horse and Foot, came into Town; and about Twelve of the Clock his Excellency the Governor, attended by the Gentlemen of the Council, repaired to the Court-House, preceded by the Justices of the Peace of the County of Middlesex, the Mayor, Recorder, Aldermen, and Com- mon-Council-Men, of this City, with their proper Offi- cers, where his most Royal and Sacred Majesty was pro- claimed, in the Presence of the Governor and Council, amidst the joyful Acclamations of a numerous Audience of this and the neighbouring Counties. The Troops of Horse and Detachments from the Regiments of Militia of this County lined both Sides of the Way to the Court- House: in the Evening there were Illuminations, which concluded with all the Demonstrations of Joy, usual upon such Occasions.
It seems the Dispatches and Warrants for proclaiming our gracious Sovereign King George the IIId, arrived at New York, both by his Majesty's Ship Fowey, Capt. Tonyn, and an Express from Boston, on Friday Evening the 16th Instant, and an Express was the next Day sent from New-York, with those for this Government, Pen- sylvania, &c. but either by the Negligence, Ignorance, or Design of the Person sent with them, those for this Government were carried quite to Philadelphia, and then returned here by the common Post: Which occa- sioned us to be thus late in this Affair: However, we
524

flatter ourselves that in proportion to our Number, very few Solemnities of the Kind, have been carried on with more Loyalty, Unanimity and upright Conduct; than this of the small Province of New-Jersey.
It is thought the following Account is not quite un- worthy of Notice, viz. A few Days before Christmas last, a very valuable Negro named Cæsar, belonging to the Widow Furman, at Colt's Neck, in Monmouth County, New-Jersey, was found dead, at some Distance from Home, and being conjectured to have died by some accident, was buried; but soon after, a Neighbour in- forming, that the Night before he had heard great Cries of Murder near the Place where the Negro was found: And that he would have gone to the Assistance of the Distress'd but that a very large Mill-Pound lay in the Way, which he could not cross. The Negro was taken up again, and both his Legs found broke, and his Neck dislocated: Whereupon further Search was made, and at the Place of the Out-Cry, was found many marks of Cæsar's struggling with his Adversaries, and several plain Tokens of his having been hang'd on a low Limb of a Tree. It seems Cæsar had made his Addresses some Time to a neighbouring Wench, who had received him kindly, and they were to have been married at Christ- mas, but another Fellow who also address'd the Wench, not being received well, and jealous of Cæsar and having several Negro Friends, it is thought poor Cæsar was Way-laid, and Murdered in that Manner; and this Sus- picion is corroborated, by a Person's having heard an Old Wench tell Cæsar a few Days before, that if he contin- ued to visit that young Wench, he would not live to see Christmas. Several Negroes have since been taken up, on the Account, and 'tis thought the Truth will be dis- covered: So that poor Cæsar's Antagonist is likely to

be found in a worse State than the Dog in the Manger.
Near the same Place as the above, a few Days ago three or four Men dug out of the Side of a Hill, from whence a fine Spring issued, Fifty-two large Rattle- Snakes, and Nineteen Black Snakes all twined together in one Bunch or Knot: The cold Weather prevented their making any Resistance, though the Rattle Snakes were so lively as to be able to rattle prity briskly: They cut the Heads of the Rattle Snakes off, and then Skin'd them: The Digging was purposely after them, as a great Number had been seen near the Spring the Summer be- fore.
We hear from Philadelphia, that on Wednesday the 2Ist Instant, his Majesty King George the Third, was proclaimed there.
On the same Day a considerable Number of Merchants and other Gentlemen of this City, repaired to the New- Ferry-House, to an elegant Entertainment, provided on the Occasion; where they drank His Majesty's and all other loyal Healths. together with his Prussian Majesty, Prince Ferdinand, Prince Henry, and all the brave and gallant Generals, Admirals, Officers, Seamen and Sol- diers in His Majesty's Service, &c. &c. &c. under the Dis- charge of seven Brass Cannon at every Toast; the An- them of God Save the King, was admirable well sung, with the Chorus, by the Company, with Heart and Voice. The whole was conducted with great Decency, and con- cluded to the entire Satisfaction of every one present.

He was seized last Monday sennight with a violent inflammatory Fever, which greatly affected his Brain; and continued so obstinate as not to be controled by the Power of Medicine.

fills every Heart with Sorrow; and has apparently struck this Town and Seat of Learning into a perfect Panick: The Distress of the bereaved Family is not to be con- ceived, much less expressed. He was elected President of the College on the Death of the late Mr. Edwards, and at the repeated and earnest Sollicitations of the Trustees, his Removal from the important Sphere of Usefulness in the Colony of Virginia, to this Society, was obtained in July 1759: Since which he has been the great Ornament and Promoter of this Seat of the Muses. His uncommon Talents in point of Genius and Address, added to his indefatigable Application; his Piety, Cath- olicism and universal Benevolence at once secured him the Love and veneration of his Pupils, and promised the greatest advantages to the civil and religious Interests of this and the neighbouring Colonies. In private Life, he was not less agreeable, than in public, eminent: In scarcely any Man was there ever more happily united the serious Christian and the polite Gentleman; the faithful Friend and the facetious Companion, the tender- est Husband and the most affectionate Father-on reviewing all the various Qualifications of this excellent Person, it will perhaps be admitted, by the best Judges, that, for his years, he was one of the most considerable Men, in his way, upon the Continent. Tomorrow Even- ing his Funeral is to be attended; when his Remains will be deposited near those of his Predecessors. 1
