in the woods, and commit dreadful ravages on the corn
crops. They are mostly grey.

universally admired for its delicate purity. It is a kind of

staple commodities of the State of New York, being brought
to great perfection.

with the River Hudson begins.

147. **NEW YORK.** Capital of the state of that
name, situated on the Hudson. The city hall is of white
marble, as are also the exchange, and the United States
branch bank. This city has often been ravaged by fires;
it contains nearly one hundred churches, belonging to
different denominations, a college, and many fine public
buildings. Whoever first arrives at exactly this number,
