The Cussetuhs have some cattle, horses & hogs, but they prefer roving idly through the woods & down on the frontiers, to attending to farming or stock raising. The three towns just described have had a powerful stimulus to their industry in the regulations adopted by the agent for his supplies. Heretofore there was no market for provisions. The wants of the traders were few and those procured with beads, binding, thread or needles. There is now a regular market & weights & measures are introduced. To call the supply of a single table a regular market requires some explanation. The annual expenses of the agents table for the two last years has been 2,750 dollars & for 1799 the articles were paid for in money & merchandize, 1000 dollars of the former & 1750 of the latter. This was more than could be supplied by the three towns. The prices established were. Pork gross per? cent $3 cts. Field Peas $ cts Pork nett p hund 4. Capons, per pair 25 Baconditto 10 Fowls, 4
