()Wing to some unforem, n difficulties in the work

started on bier first up-river trip on Wednesday the
3011 h ult., she did not get up to ToWainla until Sat
.nrday noon. Oa Monday afternoon she returned
to Tatiltinunkkek in a few hours. The Bradford Ar
gos gives the following account of the expedition :
The new. Steamer Wycoting, of Tunkhannock,
Capt. CoNvensr, Arrived at this place on Saturday
Lust. This boat has recently been built at Tunk
hannock, and from our limited knowledge of this
species of craft, we should judge it a beautifaimod
el. It is 128 feet long, 16' feet wide on the floor,
&awe 12 Mabes water, is about 100 tons burden,
and Is driven by two engines of 40 horse power
each. The engines; together with the rest of the
machinery, all of ivliich is of the most approved
pattern, were built by Mews. Rcaney: Mafie & Co.
of Philadelphia.' 'The wood work was constructed
under the immeeittte supervision of Capt. Converse.
The citizens of Tunkhannock are certainly enti
tled to much credit for their enterprise in building
so fine a boat, after some two or three attemps' to
navigate the Susquehanna had failed. This trip,
and an examination of the boat, seem 4 to have sat
isfied every one at all acquainted n ith the business.
that all former 'errors in machinery, di.,
have been avoided, and they no longer look upon•

the matter of navigating this river with steam an
experiment, but consider the question fairly settled
in favor of its entire practicability. Some few de
fects, consequent upon a first trial - of niachinery just
frinn the hands of the manufacturer, Were expect
ed, and of course are not considered as in any way
affecting the success of the experiment.

On Friday morning. A great crowd had assembled
at the station to see its off; the weather was most
propitious--the woods and fields, fresh from the
recent rains, wore their brightest greera'—and, With
the screaming whistle of the engine pitched 'on its
highest and loudest ? key, we set off. The distance
is 22 miles, and the nyol runs in the beautiful val
ley of the Susquehanna, through the towns of Che
nango, Union and Owego. The land is not per
' fectly cleared— that is to say, the 'aids contain too
:
manic stumps to please the unfamiliar eye—but the
rich `grass that covers the greater part of the region
traversed by the road, and the large herds of cat
tle industriously enjoying it, gore evidence that
the labor of the farmer is there nit spent in vain.
Irtn.
brazing districts may be found, indeed, but - •
they are of ol4er cultivation—and a few years mast,

that of nge.
It wasa\ k holiday all along the line. At Union
we were greed by loud and repeated cheers from
Weassembled population, whose enthusiastic satis
faction.wis also expressed by discharges of cannon
and the waving goings . Having stopped there
long-enough to take in some additions to our com
pany, the train continued its course.
The approach to Owego was quite exciting. The
whole country was gathered there waiting the ar
rival of the train—and for a mile or more this fitie
the village, companies of men, women and children
here stationed along the road to greet the xi - elecme
event. A large hill in front of the depot 'and par
tially covered by trees, was occupied by mans
picturesque groups who sent to us by the. waning handkenthiefis a salutation which their voices
could not comes* so far; the same signal waved
from etery window in the vicinity, while the vast
crowd assembled in the area about the depot
cheered,. andthe cannon was fired off, all hi the
most appropriate manner.
As soon as the cars were- vanated‘and the neces
sary arnmgements made, the multitude was called
to order and the ceremonies of the day begin. Hai.
Thomas Farringthn, on behalf of theauthorities and
citizens of the village, addressed the officers of the
Road in a neat and appropriate speech congratola

a just tribute to the energy and judgment with !

Thus we have ano th er instance of folly ofat 7
tempting to keep asunder these whom Fate, or Cu
pid, or some other 'gentleman', has decreed shall
come together. "'Where there is a will, there is a
way?' Yount 1adie..4.3 innumerable stand ready to

horses are notorious for having: , so per cent, more

PnooaEBs OF THE 0110LERA.— . 111 the city of New
ark, on Thursday, of-last week; two cases of Chol
era occurred ; and since then we note 8 or ,9 more.
• About half of the number attaekennre died; but
such has been the care taken to remove all impgui.-
- ties, as well by the citizens as the authorities, that
a general spread of tile disease throughout &icily
is not apprehended.
Two or three cases' have occurred at Jersey City;
about the same number at Hoboken, and an isola
ted case at Millville ';, also one at Orange, at New-
Brunswick, at Princeton, dc.
In New York, there were 29 deaths by cholera;
during the week ending on Saturday morning last ;
• on
,Saturday there Were 13 uses reported, and 7
deaths; Monday 23 cases and 11 deaths ; Tuesday
39 cases and 11 deaths ; and Wednesday 60 cases
and 10 leaths. .Thi4 is certainly not an alarming
fatality in a city containing nearly half a million
inhabitants. Besides; the best physicians in tholnity
state, in a.published 'card, that the disease has man
ifested itself•in a far less virulent shape, than at
•
pierions visitations, and yields in a majority of in
i stances to medical treatment If attended to in
time, a cure is almost certain.
In Boston, Albany, Troy, Williamsburgh, Brook
-Ipi; Philadelphia, Baltimore, Norfolk, Richmond,
de &c. more or less eases have been reported ;in
• a word, the scourge teems destined to over-run the
whole Anion, and there is no use m repining at the
' lirospes, Tliware•jsiihrisse.spattint• feays_a ' con

Ayrrairr ar Soicinx—Yesterday afternoon a
-young woman named Anne -Murphy, about twentir
five years of age, of much respectability and intel
• ligence of manner, attempted suicide at No. 11 Pine
street under most painful and distressing circum
stances. She jtimpad from the ad-story front win
! don of the house into the street, falling upon her
• right shoulder, which she/dislocated. She was oth
erwiSe badly injureT; but as the House surgeon had
not examined her when the Reporter left, what the
extent of the injuriesiwere cannot here be told.—
The evening before last the unfortunate young wo
man was so wrought upon by- feelings of intense
omi-to-orstittyro 0t.4 th.o.*. wit 4
.shoemaker's knife. In that rash attempt she failed.
The skin covering the windpipe was divided but
the cutWas'only skin-deep. -
It appears Mrs. Murphy's husband, who was very
Much attached to her, bad become jealous some
time since of tiyoung Scotcliman, a porter in the
Chambers-st Savingsf Bank. This jealousy iireyed
so' much on Murphy's•mind - that be gave up a lu
crative employment and went. off to Ireland, • leav
ing his wife forlorn and penniless. Conscious of her
innocenoc—sorrowing for her husband's absence
cilia driven to madness by unjust suspicion—life
became intolerable and she made the first attempt
with the knife on Wednesday night. When the
young Seatchman came hamlet° his dinner yester
day, a crowd had - issembled at- the door of 11 Pine
st.:uid Mrs. Murphy imagining that it had reference
to 'herself, became frantic and jumped into the street
to kill herself. The .tdxive statement was taken
dqwn from Mrs. Murphy's awn lips in the Hospital,
torwhich she had•been removed.—N., Tribu.c.
DEATH OF CoLoxri KINNEF.—The New Orleans
papers of the 20th ult. bring us news of the death
of CoL H. L Kinney, of Corpus Christi, Texas, (for
merly or Bradford county.) It appears that the
the Indians had commenced-committing depreda
tions between Nneces and the Rio Grande, andlitid
entered the town - of San Patric() on the 13th and
stolen a number of horses and large quantities of
goods. ' Colonel Kinney with another man, and a
number of • Mexicans, were killed. The Indians
then crossed the river into the town of Camargo,
and killed several - person.s.—Bradjord Argus.. •
Goonus Lierann.—The Locofoco . paperS are pub
lishia; an article signed George Lippard, who pro
{cores to have voted f i t Gen. Taylor, grossly abu
*sing: the old hero. • is Lippard has published
more bombast than: anY other man in America, but
he was never,guilty writing an intelligible para
graph. He 'received : a confidential letter from
Oen. Taylor, pending the Presidential election, and
abused the old soldier's confidence by puUtle4ing
it; and now the simpleton seems to think - l$ ovu
annihi!ate the General by denouncing him. Poor
fooll he ‘ , knaves a filqr—Owego Advertiser..
...CALIFORNIA Gotn.—The N. Y. Journal of Com
merce of yesterday hasi the following paragraph . : 1.

Cotrxr nm.—Three men and a -woman wer4
arrested at incinnati cm Wednesday last, and on
searching Ole house in which they lived, a quantli
ty of bank note ; bank cote paper, galvanic batte 2

The finished bills were 'principally spurious notei
of the Northern Bank of Kentucky, State Bank of
