In no part of the world does the eye meet
with more numerous proofs Of industry;

checkered over with grapes, apples, pears,
plums, cherries, peaches, corn, grass and
buck wheat.
The vine is cultivated with success, md
in great abundance; far beyond the con.

yields very handsome profit to the cuk.

The neatness Of the domestic concerns and
the people is striking; even the most hum

ness and simplicity, and impress pleasing
conviction OF their happiness. Each have
their own lot of ground fronting on the r''s'
and running back for quantity, which lhe5
have neatly distributed into vineyard, .
garden, field, a meadow, pasture, and
an orchard, all Of which they have skn'ea
with different trees, and supplied with well
water. Their chief amusements are sing,
ing, instrumental music, and dancing.
