was to leave For Frederickton which I had to take in an hour aftr
I got in the city so I had but little time to see St Johns. I fou[n]d the place
had part of it been burned & the rest of it was in great excitemet in
consequence of a row they had a day or two before I got there A company of
Orangemen marched in p[r]ossessi[o]n the Catholics stoned & bricked
them they then armed theirselves & fought with pistols guns swords
&c & 15 or 20 were killed & many wounded. I visited the place of the
acc^t^ions & from the ball & shot Holes in the windows doors & Homes
I wonder that many more were not killed it is supposed it will
be renewed. I took steemer & rode to Frederickton 100 miles up the St John
River arived at 8 oclok I was still very lame & sore with my walking. I f[o]u[n]d
the country both sides of the St Johns River the most beautiful
farming country almost that I ever saw for so long a distance in so
rough a country as the general face back in in the timber lands
appears. I put at ^up^ at the Temperance Hotel in York Street. A stranger in a stra[n]ge
country. It rained most of the way up the river yet I stayed most
of the time on deck to view the country & to see the Salmon & Sturgeon
jump out of water.

18^th I learned this morning that I could not
leave for Miramichi for 3 days, but musst remain there. O How Horrible
to be shut up 3 or 4 days in a town for the wa[n]t of conveyance it is not so
in the States. I found Frederickton a very beatiful Location upon the Bank of the
river ground lever^l^ but all the streets runing through it to the west in a
strait line terminated a mile from the city on the top of a High Moutain
with a gradual risse. After examineing the city a little I went to the
Post Maste[r]s to see if I could get any New York papers He told me
the ownly Man in the city who took the New York Journal of Commerce
was the Hon Mr Partlow Member of Parliament. I asked him wha[r]e He
lived, for I was determined to Have the paperss. He told me. I called upon
the Hon Gentlemen. He treated me with all politeness loaned the pape[r]s
to me each day as they came in up to the Hour I left from them
I got much News from the States. Learned that in 10 weeks the deaths
in St Louis am[o]unted to 4321 in a pop of 45,000 that July 10^th their was 190
burials there. I read the New York papers up to the 12^th which I was
glad to get to pass away my time I attended a presbyterian meeting
at night. the most was done was to sprnkle a litle water in a Babys back
& called it Baptized which was solemn mockery befoe God
