Rash and unfomdcd Rvn,or. The Coopcrs
town tOtsego) Journal, dated Yesterday morning
furnishes this paragraph
GA letter from the Editor Of the Buffalo Jour
nal, dated ten o'clock Sunday morning, states
Just as the steamboat Niagara left the wharves OF
that city for Detroit, her boiler burst, with ter
rible MISUNDERSTANDING and carrying away
large portion of her decks. There were about
three hundred passengers on board, and as near
ly as could be ascertancd at the time. about fifty
were more or less injured; twenty-five OF the
| number were either killed or blown overheard
and drowned. Much blame is attached to the
Engineer, though with what justice we cannot
say"
Now Cooperstown is about two hundred and
fifry miles from Buffalo; and therefore the letter
referred to in the Otsego paper of yesterday
morning (which was probably printed on Sunday
night could not have oeen written last Sunday;
aud the accident could not have happened on the
preceding Sunday, because we have Buffalo pa
pers OF Wednesday last, which are totally silent
on the subject, as are the Albany papers OF yes
terday. The story, therefore, is manitestiy a
forgerv palmed upon the C"operstown Journal,
but to which its Editor shou Il never have gwen
publicity, without scrutiniLins its authenticity.
