We are indebted to the politeness of a

Paris, July IS.

and heard pray ers for the “ president
and general government instead of the
king,” &c. His rest was disturbed for
three nights successively, by “an Irish
hard or nake in which the mourners,
made a dreadful noise," crying and
groaning out, “ Why, dear sister did you
Jj e ?—do you want any thing ? were not
your friends kind to you,” A:c. These
ululations, animated by frequent potations
of whiskey, were several times inter
rupted by the night watch but quickly
resumed.
Our emigrants proceeded from Balti
more to Wheeling on the Ohio, having
engaged for the conveyance of tbem-
selve and luggage, two wagons with six
horses, and tho manner of travelling in
this way is minutely described by Mr.
"Woods. The contractor and drivers
behaved honorably and kindly; the treat
ment experienced at the inns on the
route was civil and liberal. Mr. W onds,
gives the following as the general bill of
fare of breakfast, for wagon-travellers,
at 2o cents each—“ Chickens, ham, veal,
cutlets, rost pork, beef steaks, and dif
ferent sorts of fish ; various kinds of hot
bread and cakes; butter, honey,jelly,
picklts, apple-butter, and various sorts
of dried fruits ; tea mid coffee.” What

Mr. Woods attended Dirine service besides the vast quantities of dead trees
in the woods. This day only (31st Jo
lt ) wc passed some thousand loads of
timber thus decaying. I believe I have
seen more timber in his ivaisting state,
than all the growing timber I ever saw-
in my life in England. We saw no heath
in the mountains, nor have I ever seen
or heard of any in America.”
Soon after crossing the little Tongany
or Crossing river, the emigrants called
at a cabin to get some bread, where they
found a woman with six "mall children.
“ She said her husband worked 40
miles off, and only cam- home once in
two or three weeks ; they lived in this
place, before the turnpike was begun,
four years since ; no stores nearer than
six or seven miles. They procured most
of their tea, coffee, whiskey, and other
necessaries, from the waggons that trad
ed to and from Baltimore, to the west
ward. She said she had never been mo
lested in this lonely situation.”
Mr. Woods now entered the Western
country, to who»e majestic forsets, lux
uriant corn, plentiful orchards, line
springs and co tl mines, he hears the rea
diest testimony. When six miles be
yond the Monoogahela, which lie cross
ed at Brow nsville, he writes thus ;
“ Between the river and the Golden
Lion tavern, a woman milking her cow
on the side of the road, gave us some
milk, and offered us some apples, of
which there were large quantities in
their orchard. She said they purchased
their farm far 2,700 dollars, 900 of
which they paid down at the time, and
the remainder by instalments, most of
which were now paid ; and when the
whole were paid, she would not give a
cent to call King George her uncle.”
Our traveller was more pleased with
the bridges near Pittsburg.—which he
visited & describes—than with itsstreets
and atmosphere. At Pittsburg he en
tered tho stage far Wheeling, and pass
ed in it a rough road, w ith many log
bridges, which some of his stage com
