upon Women. Such of 'em as are married, have 

 the wifdom to retire to their own Houfesj but the 

 Batchelors ad juft as our Eafi-India~Mm> and Pi- 

 rates are wont to do ; for they Lavifh, Eat, Drink, 

 and Play all away as long as the Goods hpld out ; 

 and when thefe are gone, they e'en fell their Em- 

 broidery, their Lace, and their Cloaths. This done, 

 they are forc'd to go upon a new Voyage for Sub- 

 fiftance. 



The Diredors of the Seminary of St. Sulfitim, 

 take care to fend Miffionaries hither from time to 

 time, who live under the dire&ion of a Supsriour d 

 that is very much refpe&ed in the Country. They 

 have Apartments allotted for ? em in aftately, great, 

 and pleafant Houfe, built of Free-ftone. This 

 Houfe is built after the Model of that of St* S Hi- 

 pice at Far is ; and the Altar ftands by it felf, juft 

 like that at Far is. Their Seignories or Cantons that 

 lye on the South-fide of the Ifland, produce a con- 

 fiderable Revenue ; for the Plantations are good, 

 and the Inhabitants are rich in Corn, Cattle, Fowl, 

 and a thoufand other Commodities, for which they 

 find a Mercat in the City : But the North part of 

 the ifland lies wafte. Thefe Directors would ne- 

 ver fuffer the Jefuits or Recollects to difplay their 

 Banners here; though 'tis conjedar'd, that at the 

 long run they'll be forc'd to confent to it. At the 

 diftance of a League from the Town, Ifawatthe 

 foot of a Mountain, a Plantation of Iroquefe Chvi- 

 ftians, who are in drafted by two Priefts of the Or- 

 der of Sulpltius ; and I'm informed of a larger and 

 more populous Plantation on t'other fide of the Ri- 

 ver, at the diftance of two Leagues from hence, 

 which is took care of by Father Bruyas the Jefuit, 

 I hope to fet out from hence, as foon as Mr. de la 

 Barre receives advice from France ; for he defigo.s to 

 leave Quebec upon the arrival of the firft Ship, X 

 refolve to go to Fort Frontenac, upgri the Lake that
