I know not what remarks to make upon the inhabitants of this town -- a half a dozen excepted, they seem to be the fag-end of man in disorder, and confusion of all kinds. The baptists have some regularity ; but the methodists are producing the scenes which are transpiring in Kentucky. Women liere metliodists, pray in their families instead of y« men -- and witli such strengtli of lungs as to be distinctly heard by their neighbors. I had ahnost as many nations, sects, and religions present to hear me preach, as Peter had on the day of Pentacost. In this town there is an excellent character, Esq"" Dier -- ^he tells me that Clinton has given commissions to 5 men for Justices, in this place -- one of whom is a renegade Irishman, without character and without prayer ; and the other has no bible in his house. In fact, this is a most miserable place, -- as to inhabitants. The land is good -- too good for such inliabitants.

3*^ and 4^^ . -- At Trenton This town is a part of the Holland Patent. Boon's settlement is within the circle of this town. The land is tolerable -- some of it very good -- ^weU watered -- about 130 voters. -- Found on some of as high land as any in the town, rocks and stones containing sea shells petrified into stone, and forming parts of stones. This is another evidence that the Mohawk at the Little Falls was once obstructed by the rocks -- and yt the lands in this town were a part of a large lake Timber -- beech, maple, ash, birch, and bass.
