Extract of a letter from Oswego, dated March 31, 1756.  On
the 27th inst. a corporal and a drummer belonging to the
garrison, were taken prisoners by the Indians.  A French
deserter from Niagara is come here, and informs us, that
place is made very strong; but that they are scarce of
provisions, and that there is a great mortality among the
people.
