While sittiipr 1T

again in deep canon. While sitting in camp this morning, ready to start. two deer came running up towards them, and stop ped. Lewis shot and brought one down, and was followed by Andrews, who Iziiiio,, killed the other. Chambers and Andrews then insisted on stopping and eating, to the great anger of Lewis, who hated to lose fine. 4.--Traveled all day, and encamped on the upper end of the mountain.
 5.-This morning Lewis issued the last meat, being piece for each man about as large as his two fingers. The reader will remember that though they killed two deer, they were too weak to pack much of them. Andrews this morning alleged that he could carry his gun no further, and that they must stop till he could rest a day or two and gain strength. What was to be done? Lewis was forced to lay by and starve, or carry his own gun and that of Andrews likewise. Either gun is extremely heavy. Andrews had long been burdensome by delaying his companions, and once Lewis had threaten- ed to throw him into the fire, and would have done go had he not, as Lewis calls 1t, backed out This day they reached a small creek within six miles of the foot of 1 the mountain, which have said we ascend ed on the twenty-fifth. The road goes by the creek, but the snow which had fallen af- ter we went in, had erased the tracks com pieteiy, and there was no vesiige off road. 6.-Left Cache creek, and travelled to- ward the mountain. After ascending it about half way and coming upon small platform on :he side ofit, Andrews insisted on encamping, and they did so. A fire was made, and they were standing by it, when Lewis observed That he still had a great mind to go on. I wish that you wouid,' observed Andrews, for then you could tell them to send for me- A word was enough for Lewis, and shouldering his gun and ta- king brand of fire, he went on up the mountain alone. He had day or two be- fore given his thin moccasins to Andrews, who complained bitterly of his feet, and he was himself now equipped with pair made of the raw hide of buffalo.
 The few days journey which are left now, shall give in his own words; that is, 1 as far as the words of an unlettered man can be written without giving the world cause for supposlng that one IS aiming al burlesque. If retain his own peculiar phrases, 1t will be because he can express himself by them more forcibly than can by any language of my own. Henccfor- ward, then, inc reader will understand him as speaking in the first person, and any re- mark which l have to make for the purpose of explanation, will be placed in parcntheses.

PROPERTIES OF SUGAR.--Dutrone calls sugar the most perfect aIimentary sub- stance in nature, and the testimony of ma- ny physicians establishes the fact.* Dr. Rush, of Philadelphia, says, in common with all who have analysed it, that "susar affords the greatest quantity of nourish- ment in gwen quantity of matter, of any subject in nature.' Used alone, it has fat- tened horses and cattle in St. Domingo, for a period of several months, during the time when the exportation of sugar and the importation of grain were suspended from the want of ships.
 The plentiful use of sugar in diet, is one Of the best preventives that ever has been discovered of the diseases which are pro- duced by worms. Nature seems to have implanted love for this aliment in all children, as if 1t were on purpose to defend them from those diseases.
 Sir John Pringle tells us that the plague was never known to visit any country where sugar composes material part of the diet of the inhabitants.
 Dr. Rush, Dr. Cullen, and many other physicians are of opinion that the frequen- cy ofmalignant levers of all kinds has been lessened by the use of sugar. Dr. Rush observes, that, in disorders of the breast, sugar is the basis of many agreeable reme- dies, and 1t is useful in weakness, and acrid defuxious in other parts of the body.f
 The celebrated Trouchin, recommended "Eau Sucre" for almost every malady.- Dr. Fothergill was very anxious that the price of sugar should be sufficiently mod crate to render 1t accessible to the mass of the people. From experiments made by some eminent French surgeons, it appears
 xHe that undertakes, says Dr. Slare, to argue against sweets in general, takes upon him very difficult task for nature seems to have recommended this taste to all sorts of creatures the birds of the air, the beasts of the field, many reptiles and flies, seem to be pleased and delighted with the specific relish of all sweets, and to dis taste it's contrary. Now, the sugar cane or sugar, l hold for the top and higest standard of vegetable swects.-Ecward's s West Indles.
 fThe celebrated pr. Franklin had taken large quantities of blackberry jam for the pain in the stone, and found benefit from it; but discovered at length that the medi- cinal part of the jam resided wholly in the sugar. From half pint of syrup pre- pared by boiling down sugar in water, and taken just before he went to he'd, he de- clared that he often found the same relief that lie did from dose of opium.
 It has been said that sugar injures the teeth, but the opinion does not deserve serious reheciton.--Amer. Phil. Trans, vol. iii.
