Occurrences, past and prospective, have recently | drawn the attention of people to the wealth and pros- pects of northern New York. The Boston and Bur- | lington Railroad soon to be prosecuted—the imme- | diate completion of the railroad trom Troy and Alba" ny to Whitehall—the Ogdensburgh and Lake Cham- plain road, now under a fair prospect of construction, and the Clinton State Prison, situated in the heart of the iron mines in Clinton county, have tended to direct the attention of t yuatry to the condition lected portion of the State. “ Northern New York,” as it is generally unde stood, comprises the three northern counties, Clin ton, Franklin and St. Lawrence, that border on Ca- | nada, with Essex on Lake Champlain, and the north- | ern portions of Hamilton, Herkimer, Lewis and Jef: | ferson. The eastern portion (the iron district) 1s | mountainous; but there are portions in Clinton, Franklin and St. Lawrence covered with a rich al- Invial soil, equal tu any im the State. The settled portions lie immediately on Lake Champlain and the river St. Lawrence, and in the: northern part of Franklin; but Long Lake, the source of the Racket, is near the centre of a wilderness as unbroken as the forests that bounded the Hudson, when its disco- verer Henry Hudson first explored it in 1608. While people are leaving New York in search of lands at the west, there are thousands of acres of native soil in almost the heart of our own State, waiting the magi- cal operations of wealth and enterprize to transform them into villagesjand cultivated farms. It is thought that the contemplated railroads will bring this sec- tion of the State into market, and induce capitalists to make investments in the iron business, for which this country is celebrated. f The Bostonians, ever awake to their con interests, have become sensible of the advantag a direct communication with the upper lakes, and | with Montreal, the capitol of Canada. A road to Burlington on Lake Champlain will complete the latter, by the way of St. Johns, at the head of Lake Champlain ; and the Ogdensburgh and Champlain | 4 will do the former. It is easy to see that this road will furnish Boston with many adventages in the western trade which New York does not, and cannot, possess. Western produce can be shipped to Ogdensburgh, over three hundred miles, through Lake Ontario and the river St. Lawrence, at a very small additional expense to that at Buflalo. The ex- vense trom Ogdensburgh to Boston will be so much [esa than from Butlalo to New York, as to induce much trade by the former way; while the whole northern New York, Vermont and Canada would be open for the trade with Boston. Gentlemen of this place who,have recently returned from Boston, have encouragement thatall stock in the Ogdensburgh and Champlain road not taken up along the reute will be taken up in Boston, so that there is no doubt that the work will certainly be prosecuted. : ‘The Clinton prison is about seventeen miles from this place. Its location in this county was for the purpose of employing the convicts at the manufac- ture of iron, so as not to bring their labor and skill in competition with the mechanical trades, and at the same time enable convict labor to support the institution, and net become a burden upon the State. A superior ore bed was found in this county in a forest,which furnishes a cheap supply of coal,of which large quantities are used, and the present lo- cation was recommended to the Legislature by Mr. Cook, the agent employed to find a location.” The main question then was, what should be the motive power in conducting the forges. | The mine is seve- ral miles from the river, and it was neeessary to have the conviets both dig the ore and convert it in- toiron. Anexperiment was made, to test whether in the Catalan forge the heat was sufficient to propel the machinery through the agency of steam. The experiment was deemed successful, and upon it are based the appropriations and enactments of the Clin- ton prison eM. ‘This country furnishes many important facilities for the iron manufacture. Superior quality of ore, cheap fuel for the manufaeture of it into iron, and an easy transportation to market, are important con- siderations im this business; and Northern New York has.these beyond very many other iron dis- tricts. Wood, from which the coal is made, can be had ata little above the bare expense of cutting down the timber ; and the rivers Ausable and Sara- nae furnish ample er power for propelling rolling mills, forges, Xe. Let men of wealth and enter- prise look to the advantages of this section in mak- ing their investinents. Had I space I would communicate to your exten- ly circulated paper other facts relating to this try—of the beautiful scenery of Lake Cham- plain, ‘the excellent steamboats, of the barracks at at this place, and the Fort near Rouse’s Point, about the historical reminiscences of the ‘bloody Sara- nac,” &e. > jr, Scnenrcrapy, July 24, 1845.

A larger number of visitors were present than on any prior occasion. Union College begins to assume the rank among similar institutions, to which it has just claim. Some of the more distinguished men of the present and past ages—men, em) ot for intellectual and moral attain- ments, as for tation which they have occupied public regard, and the part which they have per- formed in public life—have honored these days, by engaging even in the humblest labors and details of the occasion. The semi-centennial gathering on Tuesday, was a proud day for this city—graduates of the old schoo) of 1797, and later ones up to the presentyear, adorn- ed the walls of the church in which the exercises for the day took place, and felt that, in the calm pursuits of this anniversary, they have found an inexhaustible source of interest and reereation, and more gratelul pleasure, than the most brilliant scenes of publie life have afforded. i i A large number ot citizens, from distant counties, congregated with the general mass of collegians, among whom were the Governor of this State, the Coporations of almost every city, the State Officers | and Regents of the University, and last though not | least of all, the venerable Dr. Cooke of Albany, long | and favorably knownas the Chancellor of one of our | colleges, and the patron of education, who was no- | ticed walking in the procession nearly the whole | route with his hat off—‘ the observed of all obse vers.” The aged patriarch, who has recently retorn- ed trom England, added much to the dignity of “the gathering.” Over half a century ago he was com- paratively an infant—to-day he is the honored friend of honored thousands. ’ Occasions like these are replete with interest, to both the young and the old, if they are wise enough to improve similar opportunities—prudence, inte- rest, and a wise economy all combine to produce such a resuit. ‘ g The light fingered try did not forget the da: it was a harvest to the pickpockets. I am informed | that many large hauls were effeeted ; among which | was a valuable gold watch from a son of one of the Protessors, and also from many of the under yradu- ates. I should think that at least ten thousand strangers | were in the vicinity of this place during the holiday; | and that not many short of a thousand dined toge- | ther in the admirable grove selected for the tents; | the greater part of whom adjourned to Saratoga Springs, a8 soon as the commencement closed. As soon as a successor to Bishop Potters’ Bishoprick is appointed, I will give you the earliest, and perhaps the first intelligence.

The oldest one made a violent and indignant harangue, in which he charged the witnesses who testified aginst thom with perjury, and in his madnoss said many orlee hard things. ‘The younger brother appeared willing Wo | make a clean breast, of i Dit wae dissuaded from it by is older brother, who said sf he did so, the family would not be permitted to Hive another wae They were executed about twelve o'cloc E e eldest brother is said to have manifested great firmness to last.—S¢.

The Olive Branch was expected to sail from this port, but received orders to proceed to Boston, She touched in to procure provisions, and will proceed for her port of destination to-day.

The iron light house bein, erected has attained one halt (60 feet) of its intended alti- tude, and it is stated was seen by a vessel running for the land, before land was discovered. By the Barbadoes papers we learn that “the Burnt District Bill” had passed the House of Assembly. The object of the bill is to purchase and vest in the Crown the lands, buildings, and hereditaments, composing the burnt district in the city of Bridgetown,with the view to re-build the same. ‘The first grant of public money is to be limited to one hundred thousand dollars, and all sub- sequent appropriations to be subjected to the control of the legislature. ‘Three Commissioners are to be appoint- ed to carry out the provisions of the act, and in cases where it shall be requisite the services of a jury are to be obtained to fix a value upon the property. eg Pariation of the 1oth ult. says :—" Much anxiety is fef& throughout the Island for the agricultural pros- peritys. A week ago we really thought, and we believe the impression was general, that the rainy season had commenced ; we have been painfully mistaken, however, for this weck has been awfully dry and hot. Want of water inthe ponds, and a lamentable scarcity of fodder r the cattle, present a dismal prospect. The loss of sheep, especially on the seacoast, we understand, is con- siderable, and the working} caitle are generally in a wretched state.” There had, however, been some partial rains at a sub- sequent period.—Savannah Geo., July 22. Late FROM pay Oretousas Prarries.—Those who keep cattle on the prairies of Attakapas and Opelousas commence gathering in June. They herd all the wild cattle toge- ther on a spot selected, called the herding ground ; four or five horsemen will’ drive up 50,000 head, and when once collected together, fifty horsemen could not drive them off: Some kind of instinct keeps them togethe: Theyare kept together two or three da; to brand. The cows and their calves sorted, time lowed that the cows may find thi ing, horses fall, run over cows—cows hook—bulls fight, &e. Twenty owners sometimes get together; each mam irives off his own to brand, they take calves by the tail, whirl them over, jump on’ them and brand them. Any bull over a year old is tied, head to one post and heels to another. ickoff, of Opelousas, brands several thou- sand calves every year. He pays a man called a vacher, stock keeper, $600 per annum, It is his duty to break wild horses, to run cattle, to brand and alter calve: He collects them only during the brand: ng season it general rule, in keeping an ordinary stock of cattle, is to give the vacher the sixth calf and fifth colt. Where the stock is very large, they give the seventh or eighth calf, A quart is a whip all raw hide, three feet long, with two prongs, to whip horses alone—the whip for cat- tle is called a foit, with a wooden handle 18 inches, and a thong of raw hide, § feet long. A man with it will cut acorn-cob in two. ‘A pricking stick is used mostly in gathering, it is a piece of ash, seven feet long, witha point of a three square file made sharp ; it is called a “pointe,” they drive it into a beef at full 1d, behind the rump bone, near the brand. The animal immediate- ly rolls over, it tears the flesh and hurts badly. It is only used when the cattle are hard to manage, as the: are when heated from running. When a drove is start- ed, one of the beeves eg ahead, and keeps the lead all the way, generally ; the one that starts ahead in the morning, generally keeps his position as leader all day. At times, when starting with a drove, they get a stam- pede, it requires four hands to drive 100 head, five to rive, 150 which,is the greetest number driven to mar- ket, on account of the difficulty in getting pens. When a beef will not drive, they throw them by the tail, jump on them, cut a hole through the nose with a sharp kni horse’s tail ; a creole horse will pull as much by the tail as the shoulders.—Concordia Intelligencer. Merper av Beapiey.—We learn that on Friday last, in the town of Bradley, in this county, a man by the name of Peleg B. Otis was so horribly beaten and mangled by one of Richard Varney. that he died yester- sming. Varney arrested. and brought before ice of the Peace in Bradley, for an assault on Se- turday, plead guilty, and was bound over fortrial before ahigher tribunal, and was ordered to recognize in the sum of $200, but for want thereof was committed to jail in this city. Since his commitment and the death of Otis, he has been charged with premeditated murder and will be brought before Jndge Cushman for examina- tion touching gaid charge, on Saturday next. Otis was terribly mangled, having been knocked down with a stone, Jumped and stamped upon. It is said that the dif - fiewlty in some way grew out of an affair in which a woman was concerned, and that Varney appeared quite indifferent as to the result, and stoically remarks that no- thing worse than hanging can be done to him.—Bangor (Me) Whig, July 24. ~ COMIC ALMANACS FOR 1346, FOUR KINDS. 5 , depots, hookselless, and EWS agents, cheat Patri hereby. notited the aaa ° pp of our Comic Almanacs, replete with sguearinde of oe Gomis Alas aging volume of nature, Fisher's Comic, Turner's Comic, Crockett’s Head Cor Darkies Comic, Lon eall, look, law ist send for Samy quantity of Chil colored, prin tien, Show aad ay those at & Hi ‘on sale tl dls given to deal ven t0 dealers. ‘do Fall justice to all NER & FISHER, 74 Chatham street ‘Ke.
