The Herald Commissioner's Repert. Cooperstown, August 20, 1853. Otsego Cownty—Geology—Soil and Productions— | alt Oteego Lake—Cooperstown, its Attractions as a Watering Place—Historical Notices, §c- Otsego 1s one o! the most important of the central | sreagixc o: counties of the Empire State. Although it is cen- trally situated—only about sixty-six miles from Al- bany, and 200 wiles from the city of New York—it has as yet been but little affected by the progress of exceedingly interesting, It is abeut equi-distant from | from the Guyandotte corps of engineers and a lar, internal improvement. the two great lines of railroad which traverse the State from east to west, and there i3 not a mile of railroad or navigable sanal within the bounds of the county. The area of Otsego is about 920 aquare miles, and ita surface is diversified by mountains, hills, valleys, and some smull tracks of champaign country. The Kaateberg, or Shawangunk range of mountains extend along the eastern boundary of the county, upon the border of Schoharie, connecting three miles north of Cherry Valley village, with Mount Independence; from whose summit, more than two thousand feet above tide, and seventeen hundred above the valley of the Mohawk, a beauti- ful proapect opens in some directions, nearly one hundred miles in extent. The Mohawk valley, with a large portion of the central part of the State, is spread out as a map before the spectator, whilst far in the northeast are dimly seen the tops of the Green Mountains, blending with the horizon. At this elevation a narrow table land runs northwest upon the confines of this county, and those of Montg»me- ry, Herkimer, and Oneida, forming the water shed between the Mohawk end Susquehannah rivers. From this table land the surface of Otsego county declines southerly, but is cut into high ridges and deep valleys, whose general inclination is west of south, terminating in the valley of the Susquehan- nah river, which, aftera southerly course of about twenty miles, turns southwest, and forms the south- ern boundary of the county for nearly twenty-five tailes: The valley of the Susquehannah, commenc- ing at the Summit Pond, is 1,346 feet above tide, That pond, or lake, lying in a ravine, its waters, in season of flood, flow also to the Mohawk. The valley includes the Otsego Lake, which is 148 feet below the Summit Pond, and 1,183 feet above the ocean ; amd Schayler’s Lake, in the vicinity, is but little leas elevated than the Summit Pond. Schuyler’s Lake is five miles long and one mile wide, sur- rounded by hills, and abounding with fish. Its Outlet unites with the Susquehannah, three miles below Cooperstown. Otsego Lake is nine or ten miles long from north to south, and from one to three miles wide. The hills which encompass it have an elevation of from 400 to 500 feet above its surface. The purity of its water, and the rich and varied scenery about it, give it the highest claim to the attention of the lovers of the beauties of nature. It is replenished by Several amail streams and numerous springs, and affords an abundant supply of salmon trout, pike, pickerel and bass. The Otsego bass have a re- markable delicacy of flavor, which commend ther to the choice of the epicure, and they are said to be peculiar to this lake. Before the course of the Susquehannah was interrupted by mill dams, shad and herring made their way to the lake. Coop- er’s romance of ‘‘the Pioneers, or the Sources of the Susquehannah,” contains the finest description of the scenery of the lake and the surrounding region to be found, and has contributed much to their ce- lebrity as among the most attractive of American landscapes. The Susquehannah river, in its course of forty-five miles through this county, though a lively, is not a rapid stream. Its fall in that distance, does not pro- bably much exceed five feet to a mile. The length of the river from the outlet of Otsego lake, at Coop erstown, to the head of Chesapeake bay, 1s abou four hundred miles. Below the Otsego lake, the valley of the Susquehannah expands rapidly to the width of several miles in some places, with gentle descent, and waving aspect. Upon the weat of the lake and river, the configuration o the country is like that of the east, present ing nearly the same elevation, to the north, and descendii by similar gradations towards the south, and is also cut by the streams into beautiful rolling hills. The of Ot lake, on the western shore, are less precipitous those on the east, and the lands are more susceptible of cultiva- tion, There are several beautiful peninsulas jutting into the lake from the west, which add much to the attractions of the scenery. Between the valley of the Susquehannah and the Unadilla river the Otsego and.Butternut creeks divide the surface into three ridges, broken by the tributaries of the creeks, and having broad valleys along the main streams. ‘Thus, every river and streamlet in this county has its valleys and its hills, the latter gaining elevation | as the stream advances. The county is underlaid with clay slate, over which is gray wacke slate and sand stone, and in the north limestone, comprehend- ing the various species of the secondary forma- tion. Marble, of good quality, abounds in several parta of the county,and the gray wacke suppl es an excellent building material. The soil of this county is generally excellent, and most of the hills may be profitably cultivated to their summits. The valleys are remarkable for their fertility. Portions of the county are productive of wheat, but it is not a favorite crop. Indian corn, oats, barley and potatoes, are raised to more advan- | tage; and for the cultivation of hops Otsego ranks | as the first county in the State. This crop is gene- tally profitable, and this year the prices range far above the ordinary average. But, altogether, Ot- sego county must he considered as best adapted to [oon Eng in this character it is inferior to none | in the » The abundance and excellence of the products of the dairies, the large quantity of cattle | sent to market, and the flocks of sheep, the most nu- merous of those of any county in the State, are fa- miliar to many of our readers. It should be men- tioned that this part of the State is well watered, and numerous spriags in all directions snpply the waats of man and beast in this {avored region. The inhabitants of this section of our State are mainly of New hers origin. Portions of Otsego county were seitled at an early period during the last centary. In 1738 a patent was granted for some cight thousand acres, ten miles south of the Mohawk, and fifty two miles west from Albany, to Mr. Lind- aay others, who introduced a company of Scotch “emigrants in 1751. The progress of population was slow previous to the revolution, and the whole county of Tryon, as it was called, when formed in 1772, including all of the State west of a line running through the centre of Schoharie, amounted to a few thousand only. New yas emigrants came in after the revolution, and Judge iy a the father of J. Fenimore Cooper, removed from Burlington, New Jersey, with a colony of emigrants, abont 1755, and settled the village of Cooperstown. Cooperstown was mace the county seat of Otsego, when the county was formed, and is nearly cen- trally situated. It soon became a flourish’ ng fe; but althongh it his always remaine: the shire town, it has never hoi # large pop lation. At present, the number of is about 1,500. and we believe there is no more popn- lous village in the couuty. The sitnation is de lightfal, at the South end of Otsego Lake, at the faead, where its outlet forms one of the sources of the Susquehannah. From the village there is a fine view of the lake for its whole extent, and the sur. rounding ecenery attracts the attention and com mands the admiration of the beholder. The mansion honee, situated near the centre of the village, which was erected by Judge Cooper more hen haifa century since, ani where his son, the late .J. Fenimore Dooper ided the latter years of his life, bas been lately purchased by an enterprising it merchant of New York and converted into ® hotel. It wasa brick buildin of seventy feet frout, surrounded by spacions gronudsaudgarilea. It has been enlarged by adding two stories to height, and a large dining hall and other rooms in an addi- tional building. The front commands » fine view of the Iske, and from the ob«crvatory there is an nngar- passed and extensive prospect of the country.
