* Southern slaves from Africa imported
* Susquehanna River

This is a volume I issue (number 46) of this uncommon title from Connecticut.

Page 2 has a report about the rescue of a young man stranded on an island near Bald Friar ferry after a sudden rise of the Susquehanna River.

On the back page under "Philadelphia" is word from South Carolina that: "...12,000 negro slaves have been imported from Africa into that state and Georgia, within these three years..."

Other news. 4-size, 4 pages, lite stain in the upper left corner, some lite foxing.
