September 14, 1851. J
Having arrived ftt lliis beautiful village
last eVeuiinr, In company w ith my friends
mid travelling companion, I), flrautijjam,
David Tnoirart, and A. E. Kapp, Esq. I
thoii?ht I conlil no belter employ a few lei
sure moments than hy jotting down n few of
our "incidents of travel." Geneva is ono of
thnso lr rt.nl i To I towns of which there are
tiiitc n number in lliis Stale. lis location is
at the foot of Seneca lake. Tho population
is about nix thousand. In thoir buildings and
their gardens, the Genevans show much good
lasle. The lots are large, and ample yards,
filled with thrubbery and shade trues, are
common in almost every part of the town,
except iho business portion near tho Lake
hhore. Tho Hotels are large, ami cotnfortn
lile, ar.d judging from Ihe Franklin, in which
we are (jnarleied, well kepi. Indeed com
fort and cleanliness is everywhere apparent.
. The contrast in travelling facilities between
this Stale and the northern part of Pennsyl
vania is grenl indeed, and places our neigh
bors of New York, nt least twenty years
ahead of us in impiovemenls. The H ip from
Northumberland to Williamsport, in the
P.ickel, ufiord but few incidents, from Wil
liamsport lo Ralstor, twenty-five miles, there
was norning peculiar excepting that we were
towed in a ear by a rope over one of the most
rickelly rail roads ever used, though we are
pleased to learn that this load will be relaid
with an iron track, bv January next, and we
trust ere long that it will bo continued to El
miia. Having arrived at Ilalslon in the eve
111112, we were of course regaled with what
every traveller arriving there expeels, us
naturally as a waterman does his ham and
eggs, I mean a supper of liout, fiesh from
tlui brook. My friend D.tvid, whose know
ledge in the science of gastronomy is im'
confined alone to the flesh of SlmiijJ'ae aim
Chittagong fowls of ponderous vveu-hi, view,
ed with epicurean delight a well heaped
plate of this delicious fish placed K-fuie us.
That we all did justice to the ample fare of
our host, is most true, anil if fiieud David
look the lion's share of the speckled piscato
rial, it was conceded to him by ihe parly,
as a mailer of right, as no one was belter cn
tilled from si.o and corporal capacity to
maintain tho title, but 1 should not wonder
lu 11 1 nl in the next Milloinan, a dill'eieul ver
sion ol lliis story from the pen of my imagin
ative friend in defence of himself. The
Landlord, generous fellow ! rhaiged him but
live cents extra, being the first cost of the
half dozen additional trout of w hich I paid
ill making change. Tho great products of
t Iii -s narrow valley, almost all the way to El
mira, a distance of seventy-live miles, is
lumber, which, with the iron ore and bitu
minous coal won! I, of itself, mislain a rail
road, independent of the immense travel
from tho lakes, and thu West. Next morn
ing at 3 o'clock, we set out over a rough
road in a sterile narrow valley, to Canton,
fifteen miles, for breakfast, and if 1 did not
enjoy codfish and stewed chickens in close
proximity, as well as some of the party, es
pecially when the same unpolished knife and
fork was used in both dishes, I at least made
ample amen .Is at the elegant supper tablo
on board the steamer that conveyed us from
Jefferson, at tho foot of Seneca lake, to this
place, at its head, a distance of forty miles.
At Troy, in Bradford county, fifteen miles
further, we found a small town with a num
ber of elegant buildings, and greatly improv
ed, since its destruction by lire a few years
since. Near this place, a most cruel mur
det was committed a few weeks since, on
the person of a constable, Mr. Pomeroy, who
had arrested a man named Peters, for ob
taining goods undei false pretences. Peters
having been tied, and placed on a wagon
was cut loose by a man named Henson, one
of his confederates, when Peter plunged bis
knife into the heart of the constable, who
only lived long enough to exclaim that he
was stabbed. Peters and Henson were both
immediately arrested and conveyed to jail.
I trust no false sympathy will prevent this
wretch from expiating his crime on the gal
lows. From Troy to Elmira, twenty four
miles, them was no:hing peculiar or attrac
tive, excepting tho numerous dog-power
churns, and a most unique, durable and nes.
tic looking fence, made of pine stumps laid
nil the sides, the long spreading roots inter
locked, firming apeifect barricade. Within
two miles of E'mira we struck the plank
road, ihe first wo ever travelled over. This
roail is about four years old, and is much
used. The fact is, these loads are in hiuh
favor in this Slate, and the slock is of the
most profitable kind, yielding from 10 to 55
per cent, with a reserved fund sufficient for
renewal every six or seven years. The
jilank are laid, or lather appear imbedded in
the ground, and the road ilself is hardly dis
tingnishable, at a short distance, from a coin,
moo road.
Elmira is but eight miles north of the .-;;.!
line, and although previously a () .l.i i.-i.i, -loan,
is now, since the consliucti. n m ;!';..'.
eiantio modern improvement, the Sea
Yuik and Eiiu Kail Itoad, one of tic: i.mM
thriving towns in the Slate. Ii i h.uaieoiuely
located, on a large Hal, surrounded in evety
direction by feitile fields in a hili statu of
cultivation, lint in this, us in almost every
prosperous village, manufacturer and me
chanic, were busily employed in various
branches of business. Some of I ho Hotels in
lliis pl.ice, in p. )int of style and capacity,
svouM Jo credit lo any of our largo cilies.
Another u in fin) cmn.-e of erection, ut a cost
ill' JOO.OJO which, it is said, w ill uccnmmu
dale 601) pennus. These improvement are
tin result of 111 Erie Uail Head and may af
ford some idea of the gruat iinpoitance of
the completion of the Buiibtiry and Erie rail
ruiiJ, vtbicli iu point and gruje, distance and
-.le!y, would have iivnneiiifl advantage over
the New Yoikroud. At FJirjUa ua luok the
ears for JeileiMjn, at Ilia head of Rt.'iieea like,
ii mile. 'l liis road like the Kiie road is of
the wide guage, the rails being laid kix feel
opart. The ears are about ten feel wide in
side, and will comfortably accommodate 3
ju each seat. We reached Jeljursou in lifly
minute s, and were soon on boaid the lieu
l.oder, a l.-.rgH vessel for to small n like, and
built at a cost of about f fiO.OiJO. liul the
lake travel .v ill be grcaily diminished, as the
rail road l i .1 (fersnn, Is already extended to
C'annndaignn, and will be formally opened
for (ravel lo morrow. At Canandaigna it
connects with the line of road lo Buffalo.
The competition for tiavel is great, and Ihe
fare is necessarily very low. Our fare from
Northumberland lo Elmira 115 miles, was
five dollars; from Elmira to Jefferson, 82
miles, fifly cents from Jefferson to Geneva,
by water, 40 miles, fifty cents; from Geneva
to Rochester, nbonl 50 miles, fare 81.25.
If the Williamsport and Elmira road was fin.
ished, and the road from Harrisbntg and Sun
bury extended lo Williamsport, Ihe whole
distance from Harrisburg lo Rochester could
be accomplished in ten hours, at an expense
of nboul six dollars. With such facilities nnd
at such rales, it would be impossible lo pre.
diet iho vast amount of travel t lint would
lake this route front the great nnd growing
West. To morrow wo shall continue our
journey to Rochester, nt which place the
ireat Agricultural Fair will be held for three
days, commencing on Tuesday ihe Ifiih iust
The concourse there will be immense and is
estimated at no less than 200,000 persons.
The sudden transition from heal to cold on
Saturday afternoon is most uncomfortable.
Though sweltering with the heat, in a few
hours afterwaids we were comfortable with
cloaks nnd overcoats. In my next letter 1
will endeavor to describe some of the many 1
interesting sights of this great exhibition.
I
K.ietiKsTF.R, N. Y , ) j
Sept. 18, o . ) j
This city probably never contained within '
its limits as many strangers as are now here, j
attending Ihe great Fair of Ihe New York j
Slate Asiicultniul Society. The Hotels are all ,
crowded and literally overflowing. Our party
was foitunate in secuiing comfoi table lodg- I
inirs at O'oncrf'sj Hall, a new Hotel near the ,
Depot, not so lame, but I think belter kept
than eiiliei of tho clheis. The- ground epou j
which tho Fair is lr:!J, is an enclosure with j
beards, ol twenty l.ine acres, about a mile
and a half fiom tlio city. Probably not less ;
than 300 vehicles of all kinds were employed j
in carrying visitors to and fiom the Fair
ground. The road has been enveloped in I
one continued cloud of dnsl, so that one cuuld
scaicely distinguish nn object twenty yaids
ahead. The first two days only members
nnd exhibitors were admitted, each member
and exhibitor being provided with a badge,
about eight thousand of which weie disposed
of, at one dollar each. On Thursday the
doors were open for all, at one shilling ad
mittance Tho receipts were about 1-1,000.
This forms part of the funds, out of which
tho premiums are paid. We were politely
leceived as members of tho Pennsylvania
Society, and presented with badges, &c.
Mr. Kapp, one of our party was selected as
one of the Judges to award premiums for hor
ses. Quite a uumbei of these valuable ani
mals were on the ground, and it was soon
discovered by the knowing ones, that Mr.
ICapp was well posted on this subject, and
hence his appointment, which was unex
pectedly conferred upon him. The array of
fine cattle was said lo be greater than at any
previous exhibition. The Dm ham short horns,
ssem to be most in favor, and areally pre
ponderated in number. In size they are cer
tainly ahead of all others. Tho Devonshire,
with their uniformly daik red color nnd curly
necks, were much admired, but in size and
weight they are small when compared with
the Dm hums. A noble Dm ham bull, the
property of Mr. Ferguson, a member of Par
liament, of Canada, was sold lo a farmer of
Seneca county, for $150. Canada West lur
nished some of the finest stock on the ground.
There are probably 40 or 50 of these valua
ble animals exhibited, one amo-ig ihem be
in;; valued at $ 1,000. One from Ihe State of
Maine was perfectly while, and was much
admired for his strength and make, lie ap
pealed to ho as savage anil test less as a Men
gal tiger, and was, ns most of them were,
secured by a ring in the nose, nnd led by a
slall' clasped to the ring. Amon tho furi
osi. ics was u Hungarian bull and cow, of the
color of a stray squirrel. They are of tho or
dinary size, unit were imported when calves,
a few years ago. Tho tail of the bull almost
reaches the ground, and terminates with a
line largo tuft or bunch of hair, which must
prove exceedingly serviceable in fiy lime.
A yoke of mammoth steers, weighing 2,500
pounds each, attracted much allention. The
skills or sheds for horses, numbered about
lot). The cattle were mostly in open stalls.
The slock of swine was not so large, but
there were some lino porkers of the male
species, neaily as lariie as nn ox. A Chinese
sow with 13 pias were exhibited by the
President. The stock of sheep 1 did not
much admire, except a few Sonlh downs. A
pen about sivly feel in length, contained eve
ly variety of poultry. Some were large and
line, but I am inclined lo believe that David
Tag-jart, Esq., of Noithumberland, could
have taken the premium with a pair of his
'Miillayonts 111 'h" eeiln- of thu field is

hwildiii:-, tilled w t r i domestic inanufuctureis,
such us qui. Is, one ineiinos, shawls, clolh,
needle work, carpets, hats and a great variety
of articles. ' Floral Hall-' was covered wilh
canvass, and was constantly crowded with
ladies. The show of flowcis weio mostly
Dahlia. Thu exhibition of fruit was much
the most attractive, ni least to my taste.
The display of peaches exceeded any thing
( ever saw. The Crawford early, Royal
Kensington, and Honest John's, weie univer
sally nJ mil oil . The largest and finest of
these were from Canada West. The collec
tion of apples was equally fine. Another en
closme contained a large assoitnient of arti
cles fiom Ihe Dairy. Another a vanety of
all kinds of vegetables, fanning imple
ments, such as ploughs, threshing machines,
straw cullers, McCormick's und ilusa)'
reaping machines, grass cutting machines,
&e., coveied a large space of ground.
The number of pcisous present on Thurs
day, was variously ('Militated al 50,000 In
100,000 pernios, of nil st xes, sixes and con
ditions. Though what was surprising x
some Europeans, nut a rugged man or beg
ear was lo be seen. A number of Hloomeis
alu made llicir .ippearaucv on the gioutid
and attracted, probably, mors attention than
tho finest cattle, though some of ihem v ere
not as much admired. A pretty gill, not loo
far advanced in life, with a good figure, en
cased In the Bloomer costume, is certainly
Very attractive.. Two such appeared on the
ground yesterday. They were dressed alike,
and were probably sisters. They wore hand
some straw hats, trimmed with green ribbon
falling back on the shoulders, brown satin
short skirts, with black satin trousers, very
wide, handsomely trimmed with lace, and
lied at the ancles, patent leather shoes, and
a green silk sash thrown over the right shoul
der and tied under the left arm. In the ere
niug I met an interesting, bill distressed
young giil, of about sixteen summers, in Ihe
Bloomer costume, nt our Hotel, who had just
arrived with her brother from Wisconsin
As the landlord could not give them lodg
ings, he had gone out early in Ihe evening
to hunt lodgings elsewhere, and hud not re
turned at 10 o'clock. The poor girl was
weeping, and could not account for the long
ubsenco of her brother. The young ladies
in the room were endeavoring lo console her.
There are rpiile a number of distinguished
men in attendance at the Fair. Among
them are Ex-Piesidenl Tyler, Gen. Wool,
Governors Hunt, Marcy, Morton and Wrighf,
&c. Judge Douglass of Illinois, will deliver
the ndd'oss to morrow. Many are already
leaving. This evening a train of twenty
one loin; ear left for Buffalo, all crammed
full. The landlords, the hucksters and the
hackmen, have had a glorious time. The
lumij,,,,! k iml souls, had agreed not to
charge more than two dollars per day. Even
.ie p,00l black charged double price, and the
Barbers in some instances a quarter for a
s,aVe.

CHARLES W. MKGIKHt ESQ.
The many friends ol this gentleman, in
Ibis County, are proud of the nomination
which has been tendered him, by the de
mocracy of Schuylkill county, as their can
didate for the elevated position of Presi
dent Judge of that district, and are highly
gratified to learn that the prospects of hit
election are to flattering as to render his
success almost morally certain.
Mr. Hegins is a native of this place,
where he resided until the time of his re.
moval to Poltsville, a few years since, and
we know we hazard nolhing in saying that,
perhaps, no genlleman of his age, in our
community, was so well and favorably
known and so universally esteemed as he.
Ilis high moral character, unbending in
tegrity, peculiar boldness and independ
ence of thought and action, and uniform
courtesy of manner, secured for him the
confidence of the whole people ; while his
powers of reasoning always clear, logi
cal, comprehensive, argumentative and vig
orous, his soundness of judgment, clearness
of perception and thorough knowledge ol
the principles and practice of the law,
gave him a commanding position at the
bar which it is not the fortune of many to
attain. There are but lew, if indeed any,
within the range of our acquaintance, bet
ter fitted by nature and education, to wear
the judicial ermine, and if our enlightened
neighbors, the people of Schuylkill, have
as high a regard for their own interests and
as correct an appreciation of true merit as
they should, we have no doubt of his tri
umphant election. Such is our confidence
in his ability, honesty and uprightness, that
we know the position cannot honor him
more than he will adorn it.
