From Central New York.
Utica, N. Y, Sept. "a, 1850


what acquainted with this aourishins city.
presume you, and perhaps your intelli-
gent readers, would be pleased to hear Of
our progress. The census. WHICH has just
been completed. shows an increase Of over
5000 inhabitants for the past five years,
our present number being over 900.
We are now supplied with abundance OF
soft and most excellent water, from the
hills about three miles south Of US. which
is circulated in iron arteries all through
the city. And while the water, Qke the
blood in the hu man SYSTEM is flowing
down TO the exiremities, the lighter cur
rent is flowing up through the veins. Civ.
ing vigor and animation TO all its parts.
The Gasometer is placed near the river,
little west Of the Railroad depot.
Houses Printing Telegraph has just
been completed from Buffalo TO Utica, and
will soon be extended TO New York, pass.
ing through the village on the south side
Of the Mohawk River. This makes three
telegraph lines passing through this city.
Houses Printing Machine is wonderful
invention. To see that little wheel, hav-
ing the alphabet on its circumference,
dance around at the will Of the operator,
at the rate Of one hundred and eighty a

even grey-head ed printers.

made TO endow Madison University, at

and tuition bills.
notice you are inviting the attention Of
YOUR citizens TO the desirableness Of invest
ing their funds in stock that will be pro-
duc,ive. That is very well. 1fthe man
who causes two spears Of grass to grow
where one grew before, is benefactor OF
his race, surely he who introduces an in.
strument by which men can do ten-fold
more labor with the same effort and time,
must also greatly benefit mankind. Our
Factories both Woolen and Cotton, are in
the full tide of successful experiment. But
it will not be wise for all capitalists, TO in.
vest their funds 10 the same business, for
that would create surplus, and increase
the supply beyond The demand.
An exhibition Of weakness on the part
Of frall woman, and Of rascalty and vile
ness on the part Of man, has just come io
lgh, here. On Thursday last, man
about forty.fve years Of age, accompani'
ed by young woman, stopped at the Ma
tional Hotel in this city. he entering their
names, II. Moore and Lady. Pough'

Having borrowed from the landlord, sl7
under pretence ofneeding it until the banks
opened, he left, and has not been seen
since. His companion, who appears to be
an over.con6ding, abused woman says
