Some appeared to be affected, and the preaching appeared to have some effect. As there is no other town in this county which needs assistance, I have concluded to leave missionary ground to-morrow. Before I came into this county I felt worried that I had reserved but 2 Sabbaths to be spent in it ; but now I find that I should have done well to have tarried one Sabbath more in the county of Oneida. Unless I tarry in this place, I know not where to go to spend the Sabbath ; aU the towns I can hear of are supplied.
And as I can preach no more this week, having had 3 lectures and as both myself and horse are worn down with hard service, and can travel not more than 25 or 30 miles a day, I conclude to set out for home. 10 o'clock -- have just heard that my family are sick.

Oct. lO^'^-- Preached, &c.
Oct. 11 ^'i-- Rode to Halifax, 36 miles.
Oct. 12«A-- At home.
