Instead of meeting the fate, which she apprehended from her inability to march with convenient speed, Mrs. Johnson was treated with unexpected human- ity and great care was shewn in protecting and nursing her infant. Scoggin, the horse, was killed during their march to supply the want of provisions. Soon after their arrival at Montreal a parole of two months was granted to Mr. Johnson, that he might return and obtain the means of redemption. By applying to the Assembly of New Hampshire he obtai...ned, after some time, one hundred and fifty pounds sterling. But the season was so far advanced and the winter so severe that he did not reach Canada till spring. He was then accused of breaking his parole, a great part of his money was taken from him by violence, he was shut up with his family in prison, where they took the small-pox. After eighteen months Mrs. Johnson, her sister and two of her daughters were sent in a cartel ship to England, and thence they returned to Bos- ton. Mr. Johnson was detained in prison three years and then, with his son, returned and met his wife in Boston, where he had the singular ill fortune to be suspected of designs, unfriendly to his country, and was again impris- oned, but no evidence appearing against him he was liber- ated.
