Such a December has not been experienced here for many years—Wood rose to twenty shillings a cord! But since this year came in, the weather has moderated—provisions have been very plenty, and very cheap—the sleighing excellent—Pot and Pearl-ashes, Hemp, Flax, &c. &c, have been brought in from the back country which have generally commanded good prices, and sent much money to enliven the interior parts of this state, Vermont and New-Hampshire.
The attachment of the people of this Commonwealth to the general government daily increases; and in the rise of the public credit—the demand for produce &c. they feel its superiority over that of the late untied system.
