Tuesday, Oct. 27. --Maysville is a growing little village, situated onthe Ohio and reaching in a southerly direction to the foot of a smallmountain. Left Maysville at 6 o'clock a. M. And arrived four milesbeyond the Blue Licks at 5 o'clock, a distance of thirty miles. PassedWashington, May Licks and some smaller villages. Some go...od land, somevery poor. Country mountainous and stony. Great difficulty in obtainingmeat or drink during the day, although taverns are plenty. The BlueLicks are rude, uncultivated, stony barrens, poor beyond description andextremely difficult to travel over. Passed several dead horses on theroad.
