Much use was made of the skins of deer for dress ; while the buff*alo and bear skins were consigned to the floor, for beds and covering. There might incidentally, be a few articles brought to the country for sale, in a private way ; but there was no store for supply. Wooden vessels, either turned or coopered, were in common use as table furniture. A tin cup was an article of delicate luxury, almost as rare as an iron fork. Every hunter carried his knife ; it was no less the implement of a warri...or: not unfrequently the rest of the family was left with but one or two for the use of all. A like workmanship com- posed the table and the stool ; a slab, hewed with the axe, and sticks of a similar manufacture, set in for legs, supported both, When the bed was by chance or refinement, elevated above the floor, and given a fixed place, it was often laid on slabs placed across poles, supported on forks, set in the earthen floor; or wiiere the floor was puncheons, the bedstead was hewed pieces, pinned on upright posts, or let into them by auger holes.
