I have concluded to visit this place, and several other towns in this quarter, near the close of my mission, should I be able to make it convenient.

29th -- I tiiis morning left Norway for Utica, and arrived at Utica about 5 o'clock, having travelled 23 miles. I passed thro' a corner of Schuyler, and found the people to be generally baptists -- from there I passed into Deerfield upon the Mohawk. In Deerfield the people are baptists, and are vacant. Of the extent and situation of those towns I cannot at present obtain correct information.

Utica and W/iites-Borrough, about 4 miles apart, form but one Presbyterian congregation, of which M' Dodd is the minister -- a pious and valuable man -- he preaches in the 2 parts of the town alternately. There is one baptist chh in Whitesborough -- who have a preacher by the name of Parsons. This congregation have a meeting-house ; and the Presbyterians are building one in Whitesborough. There is none in Utica.
