Pn the following morning (Tuesday, Aug. 2',2,) ',accompanied by 4fr. . 0 1 , Vortabet and three other friendly Arabs who were travel;• ing slime direction' with ourselvei, we set out for Banias, a \town of Considerable ,note abOut twenty miles , to the south.of hely& "After two hours riding we came tb a' vast conconr.sd of people, collected together' in' the midst of an extensive' 'field - or Plain.

It is alsOealled nom, and is mentioned in the .seriptures as the "waters ofMeroin." (Josh. xr. 5.) .It is situated at the low;er end of a wide marshy plain, and is formed by the. united sources of • the river Jordan.• We were now within the horders of the tribe of .Naphtali. We soon entered upon the northentextreinityer the plain of :Huleh, and in two hours thereafter we arrived at the spot where stood -the an cient town of Dan. ThiS was one of the most northern cities that einie - into the pos— clegsion of the children . pf Israel, as - Beersheba was the most southern ; and thus arose the well-khown' 7proverbial expressien, -" from Din to' Beersheba," denoting' the•whole ex tent of the land: The original name -of-Dan was Laish, in the time of the - judges a celony of theDanites fell upon the eity,:mur dered the inhabitants:, burned their honSes, and then' built a town on the ruins which they called-Dan, after the name of theirtribe... You will find the history of 'these occurrenc es in the eighteenth chapter of Judges, (Vs: 26:29.) It si as here, too, that in after years king -: Jeroboam set up one of the golden caltel, for the people of Israel to worship ;. and is recorded in 1 - Kings xn, 30; that "this*hing &came a sin; for the people went to w+ship before - the. one' even unto Dan." Thred thousand years have'rolled away since these estrange events took place, and now thersgis nothing left to mark the spot Where they occurred, save a Mound of stones • and; earth. This mound rises , but a few feet above the plain, but covers - several acres in extent; and is call ;li 3 = the Arabs "Tell 11 Ka . -, dy,"'Which•signifies the . " Hil l -of the Judge."
