A Frenchman who lived in this village said when the word came the Americans were in sight, there was an old Indian smoking at his fireside; the Indian exclaimed, “Ho, de Mericans come; I suppose Ohio men come, we give them another chase:” (alluding to the time they chased Gen. Tapper from the Rapids.)
