_From the Gentlemen's Magazine, Vol. 20, 1750. (June.)_
The Town of Halifax is entirely built according to the plan given in our last February number, and many additional buildings are carrying on. The barracks for the soldiers are completed and the fort at the mouth of the harbor will soon be in a good posture of defence.
The story in the papers of the Indians burning a town of 200 houses is without foundation.
Major Lawrence, of Warburton's Regiment at Nova Scotia, appointed Lieut.-Col. of Governor Cornwallis' Regiment and Lieut. Governor of Annapolis Royal. (July number of the Magazine, 1750.)
August, 1750. Halifax, Nova Scotia.--The fishery here is extremely good, one company only having 1400 or 1500 quintals of good dry fish ready to s.h.i.+p for a foreign market, and others also have been very successful.
Mr. Brown, gardener to Governor Cornwallis, with his son and four others, going out two or three miles from the town, were beset by the Indians, who killed him and his son; the latter they buried, but the other body was found on the ground scalped, and brought hither and buried; the four others, it is feared, are killed or carried off. The Indians have also attacked and scalped seven men that were at work on the other side of the harbor. Parties are gone out to repel them.
