near the house of a man of the name of Webster

,
who had killed 36 bears the last season.

In the evening we came to Muncy

, where I took
up my lodgings at W. E.'s, a very hospitable friend.
This being the evening preceding the monthly
meeting, upwards of 20 friends lodged at his
house; and, as far as I could judge, were both li-
berally and comfortably entertained. I was told, by
a neighbour, that it was not very uncommon for as
many as 30 strangers to dismount at the door of
this friend's house, in the course of an evening,
and for themselves and horses to be all well ac-
commodated. W. E. has a family of 8 or 10
children, and his wife, who is an amiable woman,
sometimes appears in the ministry. Here I met
with my cousin S. M. who has taken up her abode
at this place for the present. It affords a fine field
for the exercise of her talents; and I believe she
makes herself exceedingly useful.

12th Month, 18th.

A deputation from Half-
moon valley monthly meeting

, in Maryland, attended
this meeting at Muncy, with a proposition to unite
these two monthly meetings into a quarterly meet-
ing; the friends of each of them having to travel
about 150 miles to their respective quarterly meet-
ings, according to the present arrangement.
