  a 
  letter 
  to 
  the 
  writer 
  Air 
  McLachlan 
  says: 
  

  

  Another 
  medal 
  for 
  the 
  Indians 
  is 
  referred 
  to 
  in 
  an 
  article 
  in 
  the 
  

   Historical 
  Magazine 
  for 
  September 
  1865, 
  page 
  285, 
  which 
  states 
  that 
  

   " 
  Sir 
  Danvers 
  Osborne, 
  after 
  he 
  had 
  been 
  appointed 
  Governor 
  of 
  

   New 
  York 
  in 
  1753, 
  brought 
  out, 
  among 
  other 
  presents 
  for 
  the 
  Six 
  

   Nation 
  Indians, 
  30 
  silver 
  medals, 
  his 
  majesty's 
  picture 
  on 
  one 
  side, 
  

   and 
  the 
  royal 
  arms 
  on 
  the 
  other. 
  . 
  . 
  These 
  medals 
  seem 
  to 
  have 
  

   disappeared, 
  possibly 
  a 
  stray 
  one 
  may 
  be 
  found 
  in 
  some 
  collection." 
  

  

  Sir 
  Danvers 
  Osborne 
  died 
  two 
  days 
  after 
  his 
  installation 
  in 
  office, 
  

   and 
  there 
  is 
  no 
  reference 
  to 
  these 
  medals 
  in 
  the 
  succeeding 
  Indian 
  

   councils. 
  The 
  Baldwinsville 
  medal 
  is 
  one 
  of 
  those 
  described. 
  A 
  

   remarkably 
  fine 
  bronze 
  medal 
  found 
  in 
  the 
  Onondaga 
  valley 
  in 
  1893, 
  

   between 
  the 
  old 
  Indian 
  fort 
  and 
  the 
  present 
  reservation, 
  has 
  no 
  

   reference 
  to 
  the 
  Indians 
  and 
  yet 
  may 
  have 
  belonged 
  to 
  one 
  of 
  them. 
  

   It 
  is 
  finely 
  executed, 
  and 
  was 
  found 
  by 
  Mr 
  George 
  Slocum, 
  in 
  whose 
  

   hands 
  it 
  still 
  remains. 
  Fig. 
  311 
  shows 
  the 
  obverse 
  and 
  fig. 
  312 
  the 
  

   reverse. 
  

  

  On 
  the 
  obverse 
  is 
  a 
  fine 
  bust 
  of 
  the 
  duke 
  of 
  Cumberland, 
  with 
  the 
  

   legend 
  in 
  capitals 
  around 
  the 
  edge, 
  WILL: 
  DUKE: 
  CUMB: 
  

   BRITISH: 
  HERO. 
  The 
  other 
  inscriptions 
  are 
  in 
  capitals. 
  Under 
  

   the 
  bust 
  and 
  following 
  the 
  rim 
  is 
  a 
  scroll 
  inclosing 
  the 
  words 
  

   " 
  BORX 
  15 
  APR. 
  1721." 
  Next 
  the 
  rim, 
  on 
  the 
  reverse, 
  are 
  the 
  

   words, 
  "REBELION 
  JUSTLY 
  REWARDED;" 
  and 
  under 
  a 
  

   group, 
  in 
  two 
  straight 
  lines, 
  is 
  the 
  continuation

  A 
  very 
  interesting 
  series 
  of 
  medals 
  was 
  designed 
  expressly 
  for 
  

   Indian 
  use, 
  but 
  the 
  exact 
  date 
  is 
  in 
  question.
