He soon obtained a school, and in about a fortnight set up preaching, and he pretends to preach every Sabbath. Wlio and what he is they know not -- but that he is some notorious villain I believe there is no doubt. Many of the people -- especially the wickedest part -- are very much attaclied to him. There is no chh. in town, and but one professor, wlio belongs to the chh. in Stuben.

Wednesday 22d.-- Preached a lecture -- not more than 25 people present, and a number of those were far from being decent in their behaviour, and it was not in my power to make them feel reproof nor the force of truth.

Thursday 23d. -- Appointed a lecture to-morrow on Canada Creek, on a corner of the Royal grant. Feel considerably exhausted from much labour. I intended to have visited Stuben once more, but have been too long detained below. When at Stuben I promised some books, and have now drawn an order and sent it to Deacon Milotsed, who will receive and dispose of the books according to my directions -- viz. one bible 2 of Janeway's Tokens, 10 of Dodridge, 20 catachisms, one of y^ Society's Addresses, and one fast Sermon. Drew also an order for the same No of books for the people in Remsen, and sucli of them as I have not disposed of myself I liave left to the disposition of a M' Hoit, ye only professing p" in town and an excellent character.
