 Every thing is very well regulated, and the 

 Jefuits are very well accommodated here, 

 On the outride is their college, which is 

 on two (ides furrounded with great orchards 

 and kitchen-gardens, in which they have 

 fine walks. A part of the trees here, are 

 the remains of the foreft which flood here 

 when the French began to build this town. 

 They have befides planted a number of 

 fruit-trees ; and the garden is {locked with 

 all forts of plants for the ufe of the kitchen. 

 The Jefuits dine together in a great hall. 

 There are tables placed all round it along 

 the walls, and feats between the tables and 

 the walls, but not on the other fide. Near 

 one wall is a pulpit, upon which one of 

 the fathers gets during the meal, in order 

 to read fome religious book ; but this day 

 it was omitted, all the time being em- 

 ployed .in converfation. They dine very 

 well, and their diflies are as numerous as 

 at the greateft feafts. In this fpacious 

 building you do not fee a fingle woman ; 

 all are fathers, or brothers ; the latter of 

 which are young men, brought up to be 

 Jefuits. They prepare the meal, and 

 "bring it upon table; for the common fer- 

 yants are not admitted.
