Early Navigation Of the Ohio.

Long before steamboats, had broken
with their pufings the soliiudes of the
Ohio rivers shores, ship vessels had
passed down that stream from Marietta,
and even from points higher up the Ohio.
Sea vessels were built at Marietta as
eaily as 1901. The ST. Clair. brig oil
100 tons burthen, reached Cincinnati on
the 9th of April Of that year. completely
rigged and ready for sea service, freight.
ed with country produce, and bound for
the West India Islands.
Her arrival at Cincinnati was hailed
by crowds, assembled on the river banks,
all eager to view such prestige OF the
growth Of the West. But this was not
the first sea vessel which went down The
Ohio. A schooner built at Elizabeth
town in 1909 on the river Monongahela.
called the Monongahela Farmer, was
launched aud equipped for sea service.
She was freighted with seven hundred
and twenty barrels Of flour at Elizabeth.
town, and took in at Fort Massac, on her
way down, two thousand bear and four
thousand deer skins all for the New Or.
leans market.
She was owned in shares by an asso.
cialion Of neighboripg farmers, and com
manded BY Capt John Walker, by whom
she had been bull, and left Elizabethtown
on the 18th Of May, reached Louisville
on the 10th oil June where she was de
tanned on account OF the low stage of
water, until rise in the ensuing January
enabled her TO cross the Falls and reach
Louisiana, The vessel made several
rips as a packet between New Orleans
and New York, making one trip iofm N.
Y ork to the Balize in Twelve days; an
Extraordinary passage, being the quickest
rip ever known at that d to -lS0l.
One other statistic respecting Captain
Walker is worthy Of notice. Sixty,ihree
'ears ago he brought out to Pittsburgh
