Clear Creek.

Our correspondent, Sylvan, has been
rusticating, and he thus gives vent to his
surcharged feelings, upon beholding the
beautiful country, rich bottoms and big
hills bordering on Clearcreek.
Mr.. EDIToR:-This stream is properly
SO called from the exceeding clearness of
its waters.
1t rises in a beautiful country, between
Amanda and Circleville, and flows in an
eastern direction through a delightful re-
gion of country and empties into the
Hooking river near the paper mill of Mr..
Jacob Green. Its general width is about
GO or 70 feet, its crystal waters glide
beautifully over a clear pebble or solid
rock bottom, with many deep pools so
clear that fish, 5 or 6 feet under water,
may be seen gliding and darling about
in many a sportive gambol.
tits continually fed by the thousands of
never failing springs, which so abundant
ly water the country along its course. and
which are conveyed into its bosom by the
various riyulets that wind among the
hills. The solid rock bottom, which
reaches almost from head 10 mouth, and
but occasionally covered with gravel, pre-
vents the water from Ailtrating and thus
excellent water powers are formed in va
rious places.
The land along the creek is exceeding
ly fertile; from the head to about half
way down the stream, the country is lev.
ell or gently undulating, and for fertility
is surpassed by few portions of the State.
The land along the remaining portion
ofthe stream may be called hilly, and is
that part to which we shall particularly
direct our attention.
This portion commences a little above
the mill formerly owned by Mr.. Amos
Rice and extends to the mouth.
The bottoms along the creekRre in ma.
ny places wide, and every where fertile
and well adapted to the growth of grain
and grass. The soil of the upland is a
sandy clay, aud much more durable end
productive than any one would suppose
from its appearance; tits underlayed LIST.
by a stratum of clay, and then clay and
gravel mixed which affords every facility
for renewing the soil by clover, manure
&C., and with proper care may DO kept
up to the end of time. 1t is peculiarly q.
dapted to wheat but produces excellent
crops ofcorn, and other kinds ofgrain and
vegetables common in this country, and
seldom OIL. never bakes or becomes cloddy.
The whole aspect ofthe country is hat
