Arnold in ejigy, for his treachery at West-Point ; just as they were going to commit the effigy to the flames, one of the company observed, that one of Ar- nold's legs was wounded when he was fighting bravely for America, that this leg ought not to be burnt, but amputated ; in which the whole company agreed ; and this leg was taken off, and safely laid by." 100 THE CHRISTIAN This joyful event awakened in the minds of the Americans brightening prospects of liberty and peace.
