It contains also two bearing or- chards of good fruit. The river abounds, in the proper seasons, with great plenty of all kinds of fi(h usually found in lrefh water in this climate, and with a variety of wild-fowl ; both of which may afford a pleafmg amusement to the fpfcrtfman, as weil as a convenient additioft to the elegance and variety of his table. The whole of the land, except the wood-land, is inclosed and divided by good fences, great part of which is formed of red cedar ports, and rails of chefnut and white cedar.
