mill, a fulling mill, a mill for grinding bark and 
dje stuff, a tan yard,, a currier’s yard ; and on 
the Leleigh River an extensive brewery,, at 
which very good malt liquor is manufactured. 
These mills, &c. belong to the society at large,, 
and the profits arising from them, the persons 
severally employed in conducting them, being 
first handsomely rewarded for their services, are 
paid into the public fund. The lands for some 
miles round the town, which are highly im¬ 
proved, likewise belong to the society, as does 
also the tavern, and the profits arising from 
them are disposed of in the same maimer as 
those arising from the mills, the persons em¬ 
ployed in managing the farms, and attendingto 
the tavern, being nothing more than stewards 
or agents of the society. The fund thus raised 
is employed in relieving the distressed brethren 
of the society in other parts of the world, in 
forming new settlements, and in defraying the 
expence of the missions for the purpose of pro¬ 
pagating the gospel among the heathens. 
The tavern at Bethlehem is very commodi¬ 
ous, and it is the neatest and best conducted 
one, without exception, that I ever met with 
in any part of America. Having communi¬ 
cated to the landlord, on arriving at it, our wish 
to see the town and public buildings, he im¬ 
mediately dispatched a messenger for one of the 
elders, and in less than a quarter of an hour.
