An Old Paper - The Freeman's Journal
We have before us a copy of the Otsego Herald; or Western Advertiser, of the date of Sept. 18, 1800. vol. 6, "printed and published by Elihu Phinney, near the Court House." the sheet is about one-fourth the size of the Journal, and all the reading matter and advertisements it contains would hardly fill six columns of this paper.
The first page contains three or four miscellaneous articles.
The 2d page is mostly devoted to foreign news, in which is announced the defeat of the French army in Egypt under Gen. Kleber - the victory of Morean, commander of the French army of the Rhine, over the Austrians at Ulm - the doings of Mr. Pitt, in the English Parliament - rumors of proposals for peace &c.
The "Local" column on the 3d page gives an account of the melancholy death of Hannah [Cooper] eldest daughter of Wm. Cooper, who was thrown from her horse in the town of Butternuts [Otsego Co. NY] and instantly killed.
A correspondent, to show the great increase in population in Western New York for the 10 preceding years, states that in 1790 the town of Otsego (then embracing Richfield, Exeter, Plainfield, Burlington, Pittsfield, Butternuts, Otego, Milford and Unadilla) contained but 1702 persons - while "the enumeration under the law of Congress for taking the 2d census, now in operation, makes the number of persons in the town of Butternuts, one of the smallest and least settled of the above towns, 1388" of whom 8 were slaves.
