After passing Clinton, there are no inhabitants upon the road, until you reach Oneida, an Indian town, the first of the Six Nations; it contains about Five hundred and fifty inhabitants ; here I slept, and found the natives very friendly. The next day I Avent on to Onondaga, leaving the Oneida lake on the right, and the Onondaga lake on the left, each a few miles distant. I slept at Onondaga,

at the house of a Mr. , who is employed in boiling down the

waters of the Salt springs, which are about 7 miles north of his house, for supplying the country with Salt -- he told me that he made about fifty bushels per week, which he sold at five shillings per bushel, but that any quantity may be made, and at a less price; these springs are in the State reservation, and are a wonderful benefit to the country, every part of which is so united by lakes and rivers as to render the Supply of this bulky and necessary article very easy. Independent of our own Settlements, we can supply the British in the whole of Upper Canada.

Thirty five miles from this place I struck the Cayuga jaice. The road is tolerable for a new country ; the land excellent, and very heavy timbered. There are but three houses upon this road. This lake is from about thirty five to forty miles along, about two miles wide, and abounds with Salmon, bass, catfish, eels and many other kinds of fish. This lake empties itself into what is called Three Rivers, joining the waters of the Oneida Lake, and then proceeds by Oswego into Ontario. On each side the Cayuga Lake is a ferry house and good attendance given.
