prepared to ascend Peters Mountain,
the road pretty good, we were 1¼ hour go-

last stage Cultivated, the grain chiefly Rye,
some fields of a changable Red with some

with some rain, close on the River, at the
foot of Barry's Mountain, then crossed Wi-
kinisky Creek a stream as large as Brandywine,
we now began to get among the Pines,
a few places, here and there Cultivated,
the Soil not very productive, poor look-

and refreshed ourselves out of the Waggon 10m.
Started at 2 had 3 miles of a good Road to
