The Route of the Albany and Swsq.eiannah Railroad
corps of engineers engaged in surveying the

point fourteen miles from its source Thence it
follows the course Of the stream, frequently
ing and recrOssng to save distance, and traversing
che OF the most beautiful but sequestercd valleys 10
the Union.
The engineers, who are all strangers here, speak
in terms Of high praise of the fertility and beauty
OF the country they have passed through, and the
intelligence, hospitality and good feeling mani
Tested by the citizens along the route.
This rtgiOn, hitherto so secluded, was one of the
first settled portions of the State, and with regard
to the intelligence and independence Gifts nhabi
ants, the saubrity of its atmosphere, and the se-
neral diffusion Of the means of good living, will
compare favorably with any other portion Of the
rural districts The great staples produced by the
agricultural part of the people here are butter and
cheese, which, until the construction of the New
York and Erie Railroad, were conveyed in wagons
over the Catskill Mountains to market. A great
quantity of these commodities are still carried to
the North River by the same means. Give these
FARMERS the i1ciities Tor conveying their produce
to market cheapy and expeditiously. and this val
ley will soon become one OF the most wealthy por-
lions Oft the State. Even nov, notwithstanding the
many disadvantages with which the inhabitants
have ever had to contend, the traveller will, in n
section Of the State, meet with fewer evidences
poverty, or witness greater exhibition of neatness,
taste and good order, than in passing through the
lovely valley ofthe Susquehannah, from Binghamton
to COoper,town. The banks Of this noble stream
once the favorite dwelling places of the Indians,
and the plough frequently turns up specimens OF
their weapons and utensils. Stone hatchets, arrow
heads, spears, mortars, Sc, are in the possession
of almost every family. About three miles below
this village stands monument erected by the
Indians, in honor of the virtues of one of their
most ilustrous chieftains.
There many interesting localities in this
vicinity, some Of which are associated with tho
memory of heroic deeds of the revolution but time
and space will not permit me to describe them now
The denizens Of the city would find themselves
amply paid by ramble through this region.

ton enclosing another addressed TO Jonathan Heck

that whoever should find her apparel would put the
letter in the post office. She then went 10 say
that, in cons, quence of being victim Of the seducers
