The article presents some socio-political updates related with the U.S. These interesting pieces of news are taken from copies of the Farmer's Journal, a weekly paper published at Danbury, Connecticut, in the winter of 1790-1791. The article presents a letter from Sunbury, Northumberland county of Pennsylvania. It says that one of the men who murdered the Indians at Pine Creek was tried on Saturday evening and though a number of witnesses clearly proved the hand he had in perpetrating the horrid deed, yet, notwithstanding an express charge from the judges to bring him in guilty, the jury in a few moments returned with a verdict in his favor, and a subscription to pay the costs of the suit, that he might immediately be set at liberty.
