Letter to editor, with illustration

              to this conclusion from an examination of the Mexican or Azteka manuscripts, which e e made of a certain kind of leaves and of skins piepared; on which an account in painted hieroglyphics or pictures was given of their migration from Azuilan to Mexico, and how long they halted at cer* tain places, which in the aggregate a- mounts to four hundred and sixteen yeais. and that they commenced their journeying during the eighth century.

After riding two or three days without • oad or guide, and 'camping out' as many ni;^hts. we arrived at old Fort Aikiosoo ou Rock River. But here we weie. for a while, destined to suspend the gratifica¬ tion of our curiosity; for before us Ly the beautiful fitrc>an\ here some two hundred yards wide, and quite too deeji to fcid It was with the greotest leluctance that we gave up our enteipiixe for that time; and having given it up. we wete loath to quit the place, for it was at that season of the year when nature puts on her roott liyt ly colois. and the sceneiy was almost en¬ chanting. But having uSid ou. fiSblMg tackle lo some advantage, (foi my fiiend is a noted angler; a firm di-siple of old Izaak); we legaled ourselves on some broiled fish- saddled our ponies and start¬ ed for Rock Pott, with the deieimination I to renew our enterprize as soon as some I canoes should be prepared for crossing the streams.
