and build it up again in another place. This 

 is not a peculiarity of this particular spot of 

 land, for manure has no value here at all. All

 vinced of the necessity of, or at least of the 

 great benefit that would result from, the gene 

 ral establishment of them in the United States. 

 He has frequently recommended it in his public 

 capacity, he informed me, and I hope he will ad 

 vocate it with effect. He is a true lover of his 

 country, and no man that I have met with has

 villainy of the odious Boroughmongering go 

 vernment of England, and, of course, it has 

 his full share of hatred. 



944. July %\st. Leave Chillicothe. A fine, 

 healthy country and very rich land all the way 

 to New Lancaster, 34 miles from Chillicothe, 

 and 38 from Zanesville. Stop at the house of 

 a German, where we slept, but* not in bed, 

 preferring a soft board and something clean for 

 a pillow to a bed of down accompanied with 

 bugs.
