MAPLE Jun-ads ~of unnerch $1.00 Richmond Hill an d Vicinity To the Editor of THE LIBERAL Another of our early settlers was Cap- tain Lippincot, the first owner of the Vanderburgh farm. Captain Richard Lippincot was a native of New Jersey, was a U. .E. Loyalist and a Revolutionary hero. History informs us that he was an active oflicer in the American war of 1776, and “or his services he was awarded by the British Government with a gift of three thousand acres of land, which was taken up in Toronto and adjacent town- ships. rI‘he Captain drew his patent for this, lot 43, in 1797. Among the incidents of 1776 a bold deed is recorded of Lippincot. A rela- tive of the Captain’s, named Phillip White. a soldier, while on a. stolen visit to his mother on Christmas Day, was sur- prised within the lines of the Revolution- ary force and in trying to escape was shot by an officer of the name of Huddy. Huddy was afterwards taken by the Royalists, and was placed in the hands of Lippiucot, being of the same rank, until i an exchange of prisoners could be efi‘ect- ed. Lippincot. without any proper authority, retaliated by hanging Huddy authority, retaliated by hanging Huddy on the 12th of April, 1782. on the heights near Middleton. 0n the breast of the suspended victim he pinned the fullewing notice: “ We. the refugees, having long with grief beheld the cruel murders of our brethren, and finding nothing but such measures carrying into eXecution. therefme determined not tn snfler Wth- nut taking vengeance for the numerous cruelties; thus begin, having made use of _ Captain Huddy as (he first. object Lt) pre- sent to your V'ICW; and further determine to hang man for man while there is a. refugee existing. Up goes Huddy f0: M; v . sent. to your View; and further determine to hang man for man while there is a refugee existing}. Up goes Huddy for Phillip \Vhite.” The result of this nu- jusiifiahle not was an order from the Washington anLhnritles fur the surrender of Lippincof, which was refused by the Royalists. An order was at once given fur the execution hf a prisoner, an ofiicer for the execution of a prisoner, an UfilCtâ€"Jl" of equal rank, the unfortunate object. of retaliation to be selected by lot. Among others in the hands of the Patriots was a Captain of the Guards, Charles Asgill, a youth of nineteen, a son of Lady Asgilli Upon him the lot fell, and the day was fixed for his execution. Influence was brought to bear on the authorities, and the execution postponed until the issue of a court martial promised by the Royal- ists to he lie-Id on Captain Lippineot should be obtained. Linptucott was ac- quitted, and all that. saved Asgill from an undeserved death. was the appeal of the young soldier’s mother to the French Minister of State, through “hose inter- vention he was rcleased,a short time after the cessation of hostilities, “ as a tiibute to humanity.”le young man lived to be- come an efficient oflicer, received pro- motion in the regular army and was after- wards known as General Charles Asgill. For services such as this and for others, we trust less questionable, Captain Lip- pincott was rewaided what many broad acres of Canada’s rich dornain. The Captain sold the farm to Captain James Fulton, and went to reside in Toronto. Bay of Quinta. Captain Fulton Brunswick, ufterw Quinte, then came his purchase.

Geo. Taylor Denisun. " Captain James Fulton, his successor, was also a U. E. Loyalist, and had seen uctive service. Fulton Was educated with the intention of becoming a Presbyterian minister. \Vhen about to graduate the‘ revolt of the Golnnies took place in 1776. He urged his father tu purchase for him a commission in the army, and lie obtain- ed the rank of Captain He immediately raised a company of Dragoons, paying a. guinea. a. head for each man.

Having a good amount of go-aheni-a rive-mess about him be seen began to widen the clearings and make the farm more home-like. The principal order of architecture in those days was round log lluuaes Well chincked, huge fire- places and stick chimneys. The Squire was somewhat more aristocratic and made an advance towards improvement by erecting the first. hewed log house in our prospective town, a log of which cut. from a noble pine and hewed to a ulCety may still be seen on the farm.

The scene of tree planted by the hand of the Squire, ‘ which has borne a. heavy crop of fru1t for more than fifty years in succession. Cap- tain James Fulton was the first Justice of the Peace in our village, not a very heavy responsibility we presume where the neighbors were so few and so far apart. He was considerate and kind, de- servedly popular, and noted for his splen- did horsemanship and suldierly bearing. In the exciting scenes of 1812 the old vetean was at the front running around the garrison at York fearless of danger, showing his loyalty by encouraging the officers and distributing bread and cheese among the soldiers, and was among those who witnessed the blowing up of the fort. For his services during the American War he was awarded a pension of half a crown, or sixty cents a day, which he drew from the Government up to the day of his death, which occurred on the farm, at the age of seventy-four years. He was buried in the sepulchre of the fathers of Richmond Hill, and his son, Captain James Fulton. reigned in his stead. Lacrosse Match 011 Satur- day next. Teoumseths, of Toronto, vs‘ Y. C‘s. Our village has been the scene of two excmng events since I last wrote you; the first on Friday afternoon when a heavy freight train going south on the grade below the Village ran otf the track. The accident was caused by the breaking of 2). Wheel, throwing ulf some eight or nine curs londcd With lumber, shingles and tarrlmrk. the engine and remainder of the train keeping the track. Fortu- nately no person was injured to any ex- tent. The scene of the accident after it happened was visited by crowds of people, and unless you saw it you can hardly imagine the lid.qu it makes with the roll- ing stock and track. Iron axles about live inches in diameter were bent nearly double, and ties and sticks of timber broken up liltil splinters. The next event was the storm on Fri- day evening, Commencing about 9 o’clock with great iury and culminating in a. per- fect hurricane. About 10 p. in. the alarm of tire was given. When people ventured out they found that the barn of W. Line had been struck by lightning and was a mass ol flames, nothing being saved but a buggy and some harness. Scarcely a garden or orchard that has not had trees blown up or broken off. The lightning also struck the house of MLW. Johnston, but did not set it on tire. This house had a miraculous esuape. It also struck the house of Mr. J. Baker, on the 2nd ‘ Con. The barn of Mr. H. l’uinible was partially unroofecl, also the barn of M. ‘ Powers. The stable at the parsonage ‘ was nearly blown down, a little more and it would have been a. perfect wreck. Fences were blown down in every di- rection. There appears to have been two storms which met 11'. the village, as the fences less than a. mile north of us, run- ning east and west, were blown down, while those in and back of the village, running, north and south, were the ones to suffer. 2 and {3-20th inches of rain fell in less than 2% hours, according, to the “machine” Sent by the government to the parsonage for measuring the down- fall. Mr. Pearcn states that. this is the heaviest rain that has fallen for nearly two years. Mr. Wm. Speight, shoe-maker, of Fish- erville, is coming to the village in two weeks to start, a. shoe store and shop; it is said he is a. good reliable man. Rev. Mr. Will, of Toronto, preached twice on Sunday in the Methodist church; in the morning the Quarterly Services were held. W'arren Hewiaon has been painting and kalsuinining the school house, which was badly needed. The tuneral of Mr. John McDonald, who died on Saturday, was very largely attended on Monday. He was in his 58th year, and was born and has lived in the neighborhood all his life.
