All that reason can ask, may be obtained by the industrious hand, the op.ly dano;er to be feared is, that luxuries will flow too cheap.

After I had reached the Genesee river, curiosity led me on to Niagara, ninety mi!es -- not one house or white man the whole way. The only direction I had was an Indian path, which sometimes was doubtful. The first day I rode fifty miles, through swarms of musquetoes, gnats, &<= beyond all description. At eight O'clock in the evening I reached an Indian town, piled Tonnoraunto -- it contains many hundreds of the Savages, who live in very tolerable houses, which they make of timber and cover with bark. By signs I made them understand me, and for a little money they cut me limbs and bushes sufficient to erect a booth, under v\-hich I slept very quietly, on the grass. The next day I purs'ied my journey, nine miles of which lay through a very deep swamp ; with some difficulty I got through, and about sun-down arrived at the fort of Niagara : Here the centinel inquired from whence we came ; upon his being told, he called the sergeant of the day, who escorted us to the captain of the guard, he asked

our names, (a Mr. , of , was with me) and said he

supposed we came upon our private business &<= -- he sent us to the coujuKindant who entered our names, and offered us a pass to go ovt-r to the British side, which we accepted. Quite fatigued we were hnppy to find a tavern, and something to eat ; a few hours sleep brought me again to myself. Tliis fort is now garrisoned by the 5^i» regiment, commanded formerly by Earl Piercey, and had the honour of dancing yankee doodle on the plains of Cambridge, 19th April 1775.
