A correspondent informs us, in answer to "YV. H. N.'s" iuriiiiry. 

 that there is no stated time for the logs to run on the Cminc-tienl

rpHE Passaic Rivor rises thirty odd mltea northwest of its mouth 

 JL and follows the form of a gigantic S about a hundred miles to

 wood-fringed, winds through broad meadows; anon it skirls, the base 

 of high lulls, and at two points it rounds the sheer ends of towering 



heights, ,ai maps railed 



The voyager may either c
