Philadelphia, Dec. 22. Extract of a letter dated Fort Pitt,
Nov 4. I am glad of this opportunity to give you an account

their corn behind, for they and their children would perish
with hunger in the wilderness. The Wiondats immediately
began to kill their hogs and cattle, and destroyed every
thing in their way. All night they danced the war dance and
made a most shocking noise. . .
