well, Benson and Sudbury to Brandon,
where | arrived Saturday evening, finding
Otter Creek more swollen than when saw
il at Vergennes and Weybridge. Started
the next Monday morning-went to Clalen-
don Springs, and arrived just as the Con-
vention was closing its business. Went
that night to East Rutland, and the next
day started on for this region, and on Friday
reached Dorset Pond - the head, as it is
called, Of Ouer Greek. When had got
along side Of this Pond, stopped my horse
TO gaze at its beauty, among the high lands
Of this State,-to see this pool or pond of
living water springing up continually "to

full to me-. NV mind was drawn back 10
the different places where had seen this
stream, but o, how changed the appearance
in the water. could not help comparing

stirred up the dirt and filth Of the movable
materials, and washed it into the channel
prepared for the pure waters from above.
They were gliding along together, and the
filth seeming TO say, as did the apples com

have viewed Otter Creek only a., OF near lis
mouth, if you wish to know the difference
between that stuff you call Creek water,
and especially after an OUTWARD pouring or
sprinkling and the real fountain, go up 10
Dorset heights. would say TOO, to those
who are seeking for truth and duty, if you
have been drinking in, OF. looking at, the
waters Of life away down the stream, where
so much moral filth has been washed into
the channel prepared for the pure water, and
so completely mixed with it, that spiritual

Here found most of the Aboltionists furn-
