It appears well adapted for their existence. At the mouth of Canada creek we re-embarked, and pro-ceeded down Wood creek eight miles to the Oak Orchard, where General Amhurst’s army encamped on his way to the Canada expedition, in the French war. Here our little camp pitched their tents. I rested well on the bank of Wood creek. Struck our tents early in the morning of the 18th, and proceeded down the stream about six miles; then kindled up a fire on the bank, and cooked a breakfast of tea and chocolate. The land continues low, level, and rich, abounding with sugar trees and white walnut. The navigation of the creek is abun-dantly obstructed by vast quantities of timber. — Here the stream is about fifty feet wide. These waters abound with fish, of which we caught some, with a gig, from the bow of our boat, and some trout, with hook and line. About noon, we dined at the Big Bend, four miles from the lake, on the bank of the creek, not having seen a cabin for twen-ty- five miles. The banks abound with lofty timber, sugar trees, elm, some large oaks, and shellbark hickory, in which the pigeons innumerable build their nests. Here and there a small fox squirrel ap-pears, — a few robins, blackbirds, and jays. About three o'clock we came to the entrance of Oneida lake, which, though among the number of inferior lakes, makes an awful appearance, and is doubtless a wonderful display of that infinite Wisdom and Power by which the worlds were made. Our course along this little ocean appeared to be a little north of west; and the wind being brisk from that point, we raised our tents, as no habitation appeared.
