  in 
  this 
  State

  I 
  am 
  

   not 
  aware, 
  however, 
  that 
  tliey

  any 
  advantage 
  for 
  such, 
  

   purposes 
  over 
  our 
  common 
  beasts

  their 
  prefer- 
  

   ence 
  for 
  twigs 
  and 
  bark 
  of 
  trees, 
  instead 
  of 
  grasses, 
  would 
  render 
  

   them 
  not

  the

  The 
  moose 
  inhabits 
  the 
  northern 
  parts 
  of 
  both 
  continents. 
  In 
  

   America, 
  they 
  range 
  to 
  the 
  Arctic 
  Sea 
  ; 
  and 
  I 
  am 
  enabled 
  to 
  state, 
  

   from 
  personal 
  knowledge, 
  that 
  their 
  extreme 
  southern 
  limit 
  along 
  

   the 
  Atlantic 
  coast 
  is 
  43° 
  30' 
  in 
  the 
  State 
  of 
  New- 
  York.
