HoRNELLSVILLB, N. Y., JuTr 25, 1867.
I Inscribe this letter to you from the head
waters 0 ono of the branches of the Susque
hanna. On the theory that the temperature
decreases as the altitude increases, we ought to
be eDjoying cool weather, for it is tip hill all the
way from Philadelphia here. A few miles
iurther north and the wuters flow the other
way, finding their outiet to the ocean through
Lake Ontario and the river St. Lawrence, and not
far to the west arc springs which feed the hend
watcrs of the Allegheny, whose waters finally
mingle with tbosu of the Gulf of Mexico. The
direct route hither from Philadelphia is by
way of the Philadelphia and Erie Railroad, or
by the Reading and Catawissa Roads to Wil
liamsport, thence by tho Northern Central to
Elmira, and thence by the New York and Erie
to this point. I came this time by the Cata"
wissa route, and enjoyed the trip muck. Leav
ing the Reading Railroad depot at 8'10 A. M.,
wc fped up tho valley of the Schuylkill, adorned
With its beautiful farms aud flourushiug cities
and villages, The crops are looking finely,
wheat already harvested, or standing in the
shock. An occasional piece of corn looks back
ward, but generally the crop promises fairly.
Crass is excellent.
At Port Clinton we left the valley of tho
Schuylkill aud began the ascent of tho mouu
tains. From this point until the valley of the
Susquehanna la reached, the route lies through
a very rugged country. The road itself is much
of the way constructed along the very crests of
the mountains, from which you look down into
deep valleys far beneath, or off on to neighbor
ing hills aud heights. In descending from the
summit several very high bridges are crossed,
the prospect from which, in contemplation of
possible accidents, is fearful enough. I believe,
however, that no catastrophe has ever occurred
in connection with any of them. The trains
are run over them very carefully, and though
the structures are of wood, they are kept in con
stant repair. The train arrives at Williamsport
for supper. Of this line aud nourishing town
I need not speak at length, as it has lately been
well described iu your columns. In going
Irom Williamsport to Elmira you cross
the summit between the valleys of the West
Branch of the Susquehanna and the Che
mung, which latter is one of the streams
which go to make up the North Branch of
the Susquehanna. Here, too, for a part of the
way, is a rugged country high, steep hills rising
on either hand, clad with forests, abounding in
grain, and the little brooks swarming with
trout. It is quite a rf gion of summer resort.
At last we reach Elmira. This is one of the
most flourishing cities in Soutnern New Yorit.
It already has a population of some fifteen or
sixteen thousand, and is growing rapidly.
Manufactures are being introduced to a con
siderable extent. It commands a large and in
creasing trade with Northern Pennsylvania.
At this point the Northern Central Railroad
crosses the Erie, and we change to tho cars of
that road. The depot at Elmira is a small,
mean structure, which is about to be replaced
By a fine building, to cost some $25,000. The
Erie Railroad (tormerly New York and Erie)
is a splendid road. Its wide, roomy cars give
you the maximum of comfort in riding, while
all the appointments of the road are of a high
order of excellence. Tho influence of this road
In developing the touthern tier of counties in
New York has been immense. Flourishing vil
lages and cities have sprung up along its entire
length, while It has afforded a ready access to
market to a vast region of country which before
was almost destitute.
From Elmira to Hornellsville you follow np the
alley of the Chemung and CaniBteo rivers. The
Talley above Elmira is very wide, and there are
many spienuia larms. i noticed here some of
the finest cornfields that I had eeen on the whole
route. About twenty miles from Elmira you
xeacn corning, a nne enterpribing village of
some three or four thousand inhabitants, named
alter Erastus corning of Albany. From this
point there is a branch road running to
Bochester.
A few miles above Corning is the little village
cf Painted Post, so called from a large painted
post which was found erected on the town site
toy the earliest settlers. It was an Indian monu
ment of some kind. The valley of the Canisteo
rapidly narrows above Corning, until, in many
places, there is hardly more than room for the
river ana me roaa. The mountains are high
ana precipitous, xney used to be covered with
pine timber, but that has been mainly cut off.
The lumber trade of this region, before the
building of the railroad, was all done by means
of the river. Boards were built Into huge rafts
during the winter, and when the spring freshets
came mey were noated down to the Susque
hanna, una meuce xo market.
A lew mnos dciow Hornellsville the valley
widens out, and gives room for some beautiful
farms. Here, when the country was first settle!
toy the whites, a large cleared flyld was found of
over one hundred acres, without a stump or j
tree upon it The Indians cultivated it. General
Sullivan's expedition visited this Indian settle
ment during the Revolutionary War, and burned
their village and crops. It was from this point
that the Indians descended to perpetrate the
Wyoming massacre. The old settlers still point
out the stumps of the trees from which their
canoes were built. A partly finished canoe was
originally to be seen in the locality.
This town was settled, Immediately after the
close of the Revolutionary War, by a .colony
from Wilkesbarre, Pennsylvania. A company
of sixteen persons purchased an entire township
of twelve miles square, aud apart.of them set
tied there with their families. The village was
a small one, and never grew much until after
th romnletion of the Erie Railroad. It now has
eome five thouaaud inhabitants, and is one of
the handsomest villages in Western Now York.
A branch road runs from the Erie at this point
tn Buffalo.
The crops through all this section are looking
finely. The harvesting of winter wheat Is pow
a-ntas? on. The berry is plump, and the yield
per acre will be large. There is a fine prospect
for armies. Corn will do well if we have enough
hot weather, rotatoe promise an. abundant
yield. This is a great dairy region. Tho nest
hotter can be bought for from 10 to 18 cents per
pound. Much wool is grown here; but the
irade is Junt now at a stand still, a the farmers
ask 0 cents per ponnd for It, whilo the dealers
re not willing to givo over 40. The former
say they will keep it over until another year
but what they will get their price.
The character of farming has changed here,
as elsewhere, during the last few years. Bvery
thinir almost U now done by machinery.
Mower I and reaper, cut the grass and grain.
Howe rakes rake the hay. and horse hay-forks
do the uulosding. As a consequence, much
fewer hands are required to do the work.
Where a farmer used to employ a dozen hands
during haying and harvesting, he will now hire
but three or lour. Tuis Is one of the results of
tho war. The scarcity of help then forced the
farmers Into the use of machinery, and now
they continue it from choice.
Speaking of the war reminds me that on
tho 30th instant the citizens here will erect a
fine granite monument above the crave of
Colonel F. B. Doty, a gallant young soldier
rom this villuce. who lost his life in hattlo
before Richmond, near the close of the war.
ile was an old school-mate of mine. Peace to
his ashes, and may his grave ever be green! T.
NATIONAL BANK TROUBLES.
Reported Collnpse of the I'natlllla Na
tional ISanK Liabilities S0O,OOO.
A report reached the citv vesterdav that the
National Bank at Uuadiltu. in Otsoeo county.
New York, had made a bad break, witli lia
bilities salil to amount to $200,0(1(1.
The bank was chartered about twelve years
ago. uuder the old Salety Fund law of this
State, aud about two years since it took its
national character, with a capital of $150,000.
and power to increase to $250,000.
its ouicers were Arnold IS. Watson. President.
and Clark J. Hayes, Cashier. The President, it
s paid, owned $100,000 of the cui.tal. and the
balance was in the hands of the Cashier and
some relatives in Albany.
it is reported that ine assets or the Duns win
not go far towards meeting its liabilities.
Fast living on thermit of somebody connected
with the institution, together with wild mid un
profitable speculations in produce and mining
stocks, contributed to its downfall.
Its redemption agency is said to be the house
of Watson & Co., leather dealers, ot Albany.
X. Y. Herald.
Tboy. N. Y., July 27. It appears upon trust
worthy information that the management of the
Unadilla National Bauk has beeu of an exceed
ingly reckless character. Tho managers of the
bank own a large majority of the stock, and it
understood that tbey have lost it iu extravagant
mining and produce speculations. In doing
this they have not only used up the capital of
the Dank, Due have also taKen the special depo
sits, at a very heavy rate ot interest, from all
the old farmers and other coutidine people in
the neighborhood. On these special deposits
they have paid seven per cent, interest, while
the usual interest upon such deposits ranges not
to exceed five per cent., aud oltentimes as low
as lour per cent
I also learn that many of the merchants in
and around tnat neighborhood have been send
ing certificates of deposit on this bank to pay
their debts in Ne York, which, having been
returned to the bank tor New York funds, have
remained in the nauas ot tne unauma liann
unpaid. It is probable that the holders of these
certificates will be compelled to await the
action of the receiver, to be appointed, before
they can ascertain what proportion ot the
assets tbey will receive as dividends.
ror some time tne authorities oi tnis Dank
have struggled to get back under the old State
system, to the end that they might administer
their affairs much more economically and with
less nooular tupic'on. Of course the innocent
people of that section of the country are in the
highest state ot aiuim and indignation at the
reckless acts of the bank officers.
Corresponding banks throughout the country.
which have snt the Unadilla items for collec
tion, have in no instance received a resp mae for
some time past. Hence it has been tound neces
sary to send special agents to Unadilla to ascer
tain the true status oi affairs. It appears that
the Government Examining Agent some time
since paid the bank an official visit to ascertain
its standing, aud to learn it it was com
plying with the National Banking law. It U
understood that the bank was then very defi
cient in the number of legal-tenders which the
law required it to have on hand. Tbis shows
full well that the law cau be violated at any
tune by all national bank officers. In the case
of this failure, as in many other similar in
stances, it has been ascertained that the legal
tender security to be kept in the Dank for the
benefit and safety of depositors has always been
found misslugwhcu the receivers are appointed.
The assets ot the bank arc very light compared
with the liabilities.
Defunct Newton (Haas.) National Bank.
Boston, Mass., July 27. The newly appointed
Tecelver of the Newton National Bank, lately
defunct, has collected the liabilities and tor
warded the amount to Washington. Tne dis
count notes amount to about $110,000, of which
nearly $90,000 has beea collected. The balance,
$10,000, 1b considered irood, and (10,000 doubt
ful or bad, including in the latter category $2500
ot forged paper of William H. Lane.
The authorities having charge of the bank
propose, in case it is wound up, to resist the
paymeut of the checks obtained through the
cashier, Mr. Dyer.
The Weedsport Bank Defalcation.
The Auburn Advertiser prints the following
respecting the collapse of the Weedsport Bank:
"We are informed that the failure is in conse
quence of dabbling in stock j by a promineut
officer of the bank, who, finding himself in a
close corner, pledged everything available la
order to carry the speculations along while
awaiting a rise in stocks, and effecting an insu
rance to the amount of $30,000 on his life to be
used as 'collateral.' The failure sweeps the
entire capital of the bank $100)000. We un
derstand a receiver is to be appointed at once to
wind up its affairs."
Additional Particular of the Collapse of
tne unauma national uint,
Tboy, N. Y., July 28. The assignment of the
Unadilla National Bank is a general one; and
the Institution is still kept open accotdlng to
law. though doing no business. A receiver
from Washington has been applied for, and will
probably arrive in a few days. The owner of
$20,000 ot the stock in Albany is a son of Mr.
Watson, the President ot the bank. It is stated
bv the President and Cashier that bad the bunk
been closed some months ago, something: would
nave been saved; as it is, the loss will, I am told,
be total.
As I telegraphed last night, great distress pre

UNDER SENTENCE OF DEATH.
A Few Facts In the Life of Bridget Dun
Kan Was Her Paramour an Accessory
to the Deed 1 Her Confession, Ktc.
Bridget Durgan was the child ot poverty. She
was born in County Sligo, Ireland, In the year
1843. In the famine year in that country of
1817 poor Bridget was left an orphan, both her
parents having died of typhus fever. She was
consigned to one of those bastlles called a union
workhouse. Here she grew up under the care
of the guardians, and was sent out to this coun
try by the union a common practice by the
guardians of the poor in Ireland.
From childhood she exhibited a predisposition
to epilepsy, but for some two or three years
before she left Ireland it was supposed the dis
ease was entirely removed. After spendiug
some time iu New York, Bridget removed to the
township of Piecataway. N. J., where she was
engaged as a servant. Here it was that Dr.
Corriell first knew her. Some three years and
six months ago the doctor visited ner in his
proleseional capacity, at the Insuvuce oi the par
ties with whom she lived, and tier reputation at
the time was that of an honest, virtuous girl.
The doctor seemed to take on unusual interest
in bis patient, and to none of those in the neigh
borhood whom he was called upon to visit was
he more attentive th'tn the poor unfriended
emigrant girl. Bridget's attacks became more
frequent and the doctor's attention more regu
lar, ana ne exhibited a iatherly care tor her,
which was generally spoken ot in the neighbor
hood, and redounded to a great extent to his
credit. There were, however, malicious per
sons who supposed that Bridget was not ail
she ought to be, and shook their heads with
grave significance when she becamo a member
ot the doctor's household, as much as to say he
would have more peace ot mind rcgarotng her;
and subsequent results show that those people
were right. Those were facts which did not
come out on the trial, but which are now gene
rally spoken of.
Bridget say tnat snority alter sne went to
live at the doctor's that she had an offer to go
out West, as the doctor aud Mrs. Cornell did
not live amicably together. She pjBluvely
denies having committed the crime ot which.
she has been convicted, but at the same time,
now that all hope of pardon is at un end, it is
not too much to say that sue nud a guuty Know
ledge of the commission of the cnuio, and was
an Hccomolice. Such was the opinion of the
jury aud the learned judge who tried the case.
a nut sne naa accomplices mere cuuuoi uu
doubt; and If there be any truth in her state
ment that a light was piuced in a window iu me
house to warn off certain parties (whom she has
not named) not to come near the house until
the wicked deed was accomplished, it is singu
larly significant. Now, if there bo any truth in
this, it is perfectly susceptible of proof, and is
worthy ol tne carctui consideration oi ine dis
trict Attorney. The execution of Bridget Dur
gan will not satisfy the claims or pumic justice.
The law requires tnat accessories oefore the fact
snouia De equally punisnea wiui iuosu wuu uuve
actually participated in the crime.
Who Drougnt a sngnt on tne cnaracier oi me
poor emigrant girl f With whom was she in the
habit ot cohabiting that made people suspicious
of her virtue? Was or was there not a light in
a particular window on the Dight of the murder
in Dr. Corriell's house, and who was warned by
the beacon ? If these facts, given in her coufes
sion, are capable of proof, the accomplice
should be brought to justice.
Bridget awaits her doom, on the 13th of
August, with more than ordinary patience.
Her spiritual adviser has been in constant
attendance upon her, aud it has been owing
to the indisposition of her leading counsel, Air.
O. B. Adrain, that her formal confession has not
been made public. She has latterly been very
uncommunicative to her prison attendants, as
some of the statements she made found their
way into print before it was desirable.
From the facts that have transpired.it is abso
lutely necessary that the case should not rest
here. If the poor emigrant girl has been made
the victim of treachery and deceit, if she has
been led into vice, and consequently the parti
cipator in the terrible crime of murder, those
who contributed to that result should be made
to answer to God and the people. JV. Y. Daily

SERIOUS AFFRAY IN CINCINNATI.
A Bllnstrel Shoots a Brother Performer
The Wounded Man Still Alive.
Last night, about 6 o'clock, a terrible affrav
occurred in a billiard saloon on Longworth
street, near Vine, which resulted in the probably
fatal wounding of one ot the parties. It seems
that Alired Bamford and Harry Norman, con
nected with Newcomb's Minstrels, now at Wood s
Theatre, have been continually bickering with
each other, quarrelling one night and drinking
together the next, until it finally culminated in
this quarrel. Harsh words passed between them
alter the performance and rehearsal yesterday
morning, and after rehearsal Bamford expressed
his determination to "get even" with Norman.
The latter retorted, aud told him to ' get even
whenever he liked," and walked away.
About 6 o'clock in the evening, Bamford round
Norman playing billiards in the saloon above
mentioned, and accosting him, demanded that
he should apologize lor the language used.
Norman replied wlrh abusive epithets, and lan
guage totally unfit tor publication! which so
aroused Bamibrd's fury that he left the saloon,
and proceeding to No. 99 Sixth street, procured
a four-barrelled Sharp's revolver, with which
weapon in his possession he returned tpChoaie's
saloon, and demanded that Norman should re
tract. The latter jaid no attention to him, when
he''Harrv" I want you to fake that back before I
- .!. -. I ..ill .linAt mil 'I
He cocked the pistol, and'began to count one,
two three. Scarcely had he pronounced the
latCrd when he fired, the ball taking effect
in the abdomen, mar the navel. Norman fell
back into the arms ot the barkeeper, with tne
blood spirting from the wound.
Bamford, after the shooting, returned to the
saloon where he borrowed the pisto , fe""8
it to his friend, and started for the Ninth Street
Station House; arriving there, he began telling
the particulars of the affair, and gave bl"i8"
into custody, but Officer Bhiner learning ot tne
affray, followed fcim, and preferred the cbarao
t)l shooting with tawt to kiil, Normao was
removed to the Bisters' Hospital, on I-ock street,
Where bin wound wasdrcsned by Dr. Maser.
After being laid upon a bed in the hospital.
Norman called Mr. N. ). Robert, the aeut of
the troupe, to his side, and said:
"Bamford did it. Keep him safe, so that he
can't Injure hlmnelf. You don't know him as
well an 1 do. He isn't all right in his upper
Story."
This statement was written down by Mr.
Roberts as fast as it was given. The whole
affair was I amenta bio Indeed.
This morning we visited the hoppital, and
found Norman in good spirits and renting eay,
but as vet the physicians cannot give an opinion
as to bis recovery.
The parties engaged In this serious affray are
well known to our music-loving community,
being engaged with Newcomb's Mtn.nrels.
Morman is a first-class tenor, aged about twenty
six years, and Bamford, well known as the
prima donna of the troupe, is aged about
twenty-eight years. Both tho men, until re
cently, were bosom friends ate, drank, nnd
boarded together. But we think professional
jealousy and the too frequent use of the ardent
was the cause of the difficulty.
While locked up in his cell Bamfotd 6tatcd
that he went to Choate's saloon with the deter
mination of either making Norman retract his
words, or of killing him; but he says that the
revolver was discharged before he intended it.
He claims that he was altogether in the right.
He says that Norman had abused him until it
became totally unbearable.
Bamfcrd's case was called up thi9 morning in
the Police Court, but continued for a day or
two. Cinainnati 'limes. 2GM.
MURDER AND SUICIDE IN BUFFALO.
e mi i-
A Man Hacks Ills Wife to Death with a
Cooper's Axe Jealousy the Supposed
Motive for the Deed The Murderer
Found Dead In the Canal,
Another probable murder took place at Black
Eock yesterday morning, between 1 aud 2 o'clock,
on Thompson street.
The facts are that a man named Brown went
to Mo. 6 station about 2 o'clock and Informed
Captain Ithinchardt that a man named Matzuolt
Binder was fighting with his wife Mary. Captain
Bhmehardt, accompanied by patrolman Bohn,
immediately repaired to the house and fouDd
the woman stretched upon the bed, Insensible,
weltering in her own blood, which flowed from
several wounds, three of which were on ,her
necs. a cooper's axe was tonnd near tne spot
belonging to Binder. The police made instant
search for him, but he bad escaped as soon as
the loul deed was committed.
Dr. Dayton was called and dressed her
wounds, but gave as his opinion that her re
covery was impossible. Binder is a German
about forty-six years of age, and wonts at
cooneiing. He was in the armv for a number
of years, and it is said that he was jealous of
his wire, a iaui wnicn leu to a greai manv alter
cations between them. He is addicted" to the
use of intoxicating liquor, and has trequently
been arrested lor abusing his wife while drunk.
The neighbors speak ot Mrs. Binder as having
been a hard-working woman, who during her
husband's abeencoiu the army supported a large
family of children by taking in washing, but it
is not denied that he had ample grounds for his
jealousy.
When the police arrived at the premises they
found seveial children in the house. One little
boy said his mother was asleep when Binder
came in with the hand axe and struck her a
blow on the head, alter which he chopped her
necK ana iuce. i ne noy was atraid, and did not
speak because he thought hi- father would kill
him. Alter the deed was committed Binder
went into un adjoining room and placed the axe
under a bundle of papers, where it was tound by
the officers. The instrument used resembles a
butcher's cleaver, only the blade deviates con
siderably to the lelt side of the handle. The
edge was dull and notched, as though It had been
employed about the house in cutting bones.
When Binder left the house the children saw
him go In the direction of the canal, and then
gave the alarm. A large force of police were
engaged In searching lor tbe murderer in the
forenoon, in all directions. It was ascertained
tbat he had been seen at about 11 o'clock
Wednesday nieht, and that he was perfectly
sober at the time. He had been heard to say
that he would kill his wife and then drown him
self. Thet-e facts led Captain Rhinehardt to
search along the line of the Erie Canal. When
about a mile below the dam two bojs came up
and said tbey had found a dead body floating in
the canal below Strawberry Island, which was
afterwards identified as tbat ot Binder. A singu
lar fact ie mentioned respecting the body, which
is that it was found floating upright in the
water. The body was removed and an inquest
held by Coroner Walsh, returning a verdict of
death by suicide.
The victim was reported to be alive at 10
o'clock last evening, but no hopes are enter
tained of her recovery. Buffalo JCxpress, 26i.
