The George Clinton and the President, were small boats built at Os- wego, in 1842, and the former was wrecked on the south shore of the lake in 1850. About 1842, a stock company called the Ontario Steam and Canal Boat Company, was formed at Oswego, who in 1842, built the Lady of the Lake, of 423 tons, G. S. Weeks, builder; used on the through line until 1852, when she was chartered as a ferry in connection with the rail road from Cape Vincent to Kingston. This was the first Ameri- can boat on this water that had state rooms on the upper deck. J. J. Taylor was her master for several years. The Rochester, built for this company by G. S. Weeks, at Oswego, in 1843, of 354 tons, and run on the lake and river until 1848, since which she has run from Lewiston to

Besides the above, there have been built or run upon the river and lake, the John Marshall, Utica, Caroline, Prescott, Swan, Express, Gleaner, and a few others, mostly small.
Shortly after the formation of the Steam and Canal Boat Company, a new one was organized, called the St. Lawrence Steam Boat Company. The two were, in 1848, united in one, which assumed the name of the Ontario and St. Lawrence Steam Boat Company, having a capital of $750, 000, and at present the following officers: E. B. Allen, president; E. B. Allen, G. N. Seymour, H. Van Rensselaer, A. Chapman, E. G. Merrick, S. Buckley, H. Fitzhugh, A. Munson, T. S. Faxton, H. White, L. Wright, directors; and James Van Cleve, secretary and treasurer.
This company is the owner of eleven steamers in daily service during the season of navigation. Their names, routes, and names of masters, as they existed in the summer and fall of 1852, are as follows:

AND FRANKLIN COUNTIES.
Express Line .- From Ogdensburgh, by way of Toronto to Lewiston, and back, a daily line of two steamers, viz: Bay State, Capt. John Led- yard. New York, Capt. R. B. Chapman.
Mail Line .- From Ogdensburgh to Lewiston, touching at Kingston, and all the principal American ports, except Cape Vincent. A daily line of four steamers, viz: Northerner, Capt. R. F. Child. Cataract, Capt. A. D. Kilby. Niagara, Capt. J. B. Estes. Ontario, Capt. H. N. Throop.
The .American Line, from Ogdensburgh to Montreal, a daily line of three steamers, viz: British Queen, Capt. T. Laflamme. British Empire, Capt. D. S. Allen. Jenny Lind, Capt. L. Moody.
Rail Road Ferry .- From Cape Vincent to Kingston : Lady of the Lake, Capt. S. L. Seymour.
Line from Lewiston to Hamilton, at the head of Lake Ontario; Rochester, Capt. John Mason.
It is a singular fact, that not a single accident has ever occurred upon any American steamer, on Lake Ontario, or the St. Lawrence, which has caused the death or injury of a passenger. This is not due to chance, so much as to skilful management.
It is believed that the steam packets on Lake Ontario, although they may be wanting in the gaudy ornaments, and dazzling array of gilding and carving, which is so ostentatiously displayed on the steamers of the North river, yet they will compare in real convenience, neatness and comfort, in the careful and attentive deportment of the officers and sub- ordinates employed, in skilful management, punctuality and safety, with any class of boats in the world. This opinion will be readily endorsed by any one who has enjoyed the accommodation which they afford.
Of the above steamers, the Niagara, Cataract, Ontario, Bay State, and New York, were built at French Creek by John Oades, and the British Queen and British Empire, by the same builder at the foot of Long island, in the St. Lawrence. Of propellers, the pioneer on the lake was, the Oswego, built at that place in 1841, since which, about a dozen have been built on the lake. In 1851, a line now numbering ten propellers, was established by Crawford & Co., to run in connection with the Northern rail road for forwarding freight. In 1852, this line transported about 30,000 tons of flour and produce, eastward, and 20,000 of mer- chandise, westward. Most of these vessels have cabins for passengers. Most of them were built at Cleveland, Ohio.
Prominent among the enterprises which are destined to exert their influence for the promotion of the commercial interests of Ogdensburgh, may be placed the project which has been planned and is expected to be carried into effect during the coming season, which is the con- struction of a submarine railway, for taking vessels and steamers out of the river for repairs. The want of such a convenience has long been a desideratum, by the commercial interests of the St. Lawrence, but nothing was dune towards effecting this object, till the 29th of Septem- ber, 1852, when a meeting of parties interested was held, and a com pany formed, called the Ogdensburgh Marine Railway Company, with a capital of $15,000, and liberty to increase this amount at pleasure. This association was formed under the provision of a general act for the. government of Marine Railway Companies, passed February 17, 1848. The following officers were chosen at the first meeting.
Henry Van Rensselaer, E. N. Fairchild, E. B. Allen, Edwin Clark, and Allen Chaney, trustees. Henry Van Rensselaer, president. Walter B. Allen, secretary. The duration of the company was limited to fifty

years. Shares $50 each. It is proposed to construct this work on the west side of the .Oswegatchie, above the village a short distance and near Pigeon point. The shore at the place can be made a good ship yard, and the business which this enterprise will create, must lead to the rapid settlement of the western part of the village. The cheapness of a marine railway, when compared with the cost of dry dock, for the repair of vessels, gives to the latter an incomparable advantage over the former, while the benefits arising from each are alike. This contem- plated improvement, with a ship yard, will give to Ogdensburgh, when combined with other advantages which the place possesses, an import- ance in a commercial point of view, that will greatly promote its growthi and prosperity.
State Roads .- Attention was early directed towards opening a southern route from St. Lawrence county, and a law of April 1, 1808, made pro- vision for this by taxing the lands through which it passed for a road from Canton to Chester, in Essex county, and by several acts of 1810, to 1814, a further sum was appropriated for this purpose, and the road was opened under the direction of Russell Attwater, but was little traveled, and soon fell into disuse. On the 19th of June, 1812, a road was directed to be opened from near the foot of sloop navigation of the St. Lawrence, to Albany, and again in 1815, a further tax was laid with which a road was opened by Mr. Attwater, from Russell southwards, and made passable for teams, but like the other, soon fell into decay. Previous to 1810, the land proprietors had by subscription, built a bridge over the Saranac, which was swept away by a flood, and in opening a road towards Hopkinton, to aid which a law of April 5, 1810, imposed a tax on the adjacent lands, and appointed two commissioners to repair and construct a road from the North west bay to Hopkinton. In 1812, 1816 and 1824, a further tax was laid. The several towns were to be taxed four years for its support, and it was then to be assumed as a highway. A road was constructed and for some time travelled, but had so fallen into decay as to be scarcely passable. The several towns within two or three years have under taken to reopen it as a highway. In April, 1816, commissioners were appointed to lay out a road from Ogdensburgh, by way of Hamilton to Massena; from Massena through Potsdam to Russell, and from Russell through Columbia village to Hamilton, at the expense of the adjacent lands. On the 16th of April, 1827, John Richards, Ezra Thuber and Jonah Sanford, were directed to survey and level a route for a road from Lake Champlain to Hopkinton, and in 1829, $25,836 was applied for its construction. When done, the governor was to appoint three commis- sioners to erect toll gates and take charge of the road, which was soon after completed, and in 1833 a line of stages started between Port Kent and Hopkinton. This road is still used, the gates having for many years been taken down, and it has been and is of essential benefit to the coun- try. An act of April 18, 1828, directed a road to be opened from Canton to Antwerp, at the expense of the adjacent lands.
Several other special provisions have been made for roads in the two counties. The first turnpike was made by the St. Lawrence Turnpike Company, incorporated April 5, 1810, and consisting of the principal land owners. It was designed to run from Carthage to Malone, and was opened by Russell Attwater, as agent for the company. In 1813, it was relieved from the obligation of finishing it beyond the line of Bangor east, or the Oswegatchie State road, west. After the war the road lost its importance, and in 1829 was divided into road districts. It still bears the name of the Russell turnpike. The Ogdensburgh Turnpike Company,

was formed June 8, 1812, when D. Parish, L. Hasbrouck, N. Ford, J. Rosseel, Charles Hill, Ebenezer Legro, and their associates, were incor- porated with $50,000 capital, and soon after built what is since mostly a plank road from Wilna to Ogdensburgh, by way of Rossie. In April, 1826, the road was abandoned to the public. The Parishville Turnpike Company, was incorporated February 5, 1813, when D. Parish, N. Ford, L. Hasbrouck, J. Tibbets, Jr., B. Raymond and Daniel Hoard, were em- powered to build with a capital of $50,000, the present direct road from Ogdensburgh through Canton, and Potsdam to Parishville. In March, 1827, this road was given up to the towns through which it passed, and in April, 1831, the part between Ogdensburgh and Canton, was directed to be improved by a tax upon the three towns of $500 for two years, to be expended by a commissioner named in each town. With this sum and tolls collected for its support, an excellent road was kept up. In 1850, the route was directed to be planked, and a sum not exceeding $10,000 was allowed to be borrowed on six years time, upon the credit of the tolls, and incidentally upon the credit of Ogdensburgh village, Lisbon and Canton. This has mostly been done.
Plank Roads .- A road from Ogdensburgh to Heuvelton, having been in- corporated by a special act, was opened in September, 1849. Capital, $5000, with privilege of increasing to $20,000. Its earnings have been about $2000 annually. The Gouverneur, Somerville and Antwerp Com- panies, like the following, was formed under the general law. It was or- ganized December 30, 1848, and finished September, 1850. Length, 12 miles, 124 rods; capital, $13,000. Six miles of this road are in Jef- ferson county. First directors ; C. P. Egbert, S. B. Van Duzee, Gilbert Wait, Nathaniel L. Gill; treasurer, Martin Thatcher; secretary, Charles Anthony. The Gouverneur, Richville and Canton Plank Road Company's road extends from the village of Gouverneur to the line of Canton. Formed July 6, 1849; length 16 miles; capital, $16,000. Its first officers were Win. E. Sterling, S. B. Van Duzee, John Smith, J. Burnett E. Miner, T. Cadwell, directors ; E. Miner, president ; Wm. E. Sterling, treasurer ; C. A. Parker, secretary.
The Canton Plank Road, a continuation of the latter road, extending from the village of Canton to the town line of De Kalb, was built under a special act passed March 24, 1849, which authorized a tax in the town of Canton, of $6000 for the first year, and $1,500 annually, for three suc- cessive years afterwards, for constructing the road, which was to be owned by the town. Hiram S. Johnson, James P. Cummings and Benjamin Squire, were named as commissioners to locate the road. The nett earn- ings after keeping the road in repair and repaying money borrowed for its construction, were to be applied to the support of roads and bridges in town. Luman Moody, Theodore Caldwell and Joseph J. Herriman, were appointed commissioners to build the road, and superintend it after its completion. The latter were to be divided by lot into classes, and to hold their office for three years, vacancies to be supplied by election at town meetings.
The Cunton, Morely and Madrid Plank Road Company, formed January, 1851; road finished August, 1851; length, 114 miles. Silas H. Clark, Alfred Goss, H. Hodskin, J. C. Harrison, E. Miner, R. Harrison, A. S. Robinson, first directors. The Potsdam Plank Road Company, was formed October 17, 1850; length 5 miles, 154 rods, from Potsdam village to the Northern Rail Road; cost $6 439-43; finished October 8, 1851; divided, 8 per cent; dividend, July 1, 1852; first directors, John McCall Robert

The Hammond, Rossie and Antwerp Plank Road Company, formed Jan- uary 23, 1850, completed in December following. Length 20 miles; capital, $35,000; 7 miles are in Jefferson county. There is an embank- ment 41 feet high at the Rossie hills, and the deepest rock cutting is 22 feet; directors, Ira Hinsdale, E. Brainerd, Z. Gates, A. P. Morse and D. W. Baldwin.
The Morristown and Hammond Plank Road Company, a continua- tion of the former, was laid along the route of the former road, and through a country which offered but few obstacles to its construction. President and treasurer, Moses Birdsall; secretary, Henry Hooker. Length, 10} miles; capital, $10,000, in 200 shares of $50 each ; organized in July, 1851; completed in May, 1852. This, with the preceding, forms a continuous plank road communication with routes leading to Utica, Rome, Watertown, &c., and terminating on the St. Lawrence river, in the village of Morristown.
The Heuvelton and Canton Falls (now Rensselaer Falls) P. R. Co., as originally organized, had a length of about ten miles. It has been con- tinued to the road from Canton to Hermon, by the same company, and twelve chains on that road to meet a plank road in Hermon, since con- structed, from the town line of Canton, through the village of Hermon. It is designed to continue this road through to Edwards. The first directors were Henry Van Rensselaer (president), Elijah B. Allen, E. N. Fairchild, D. Simpson and John Shull, jr.
The office of the company is in Ogdensburgh, at the land offic of Mr. Van Rensselaer, who is the principal owner of the road. 'Through a part of the distance it was laid through unsettled lands, which have thus been brought directly into market and opened for settlement.
The Hermon P. R. Co. was formed on the first day of March, 1851. David W. Weeks, Seymour Thatcher, Edward Maddock, L. H. Sheldon, Noah C. Williams, were the first directors. Capital, $4,000, in shares of $50 each, and the length of the road is four and a half miles. It extends from the village of Marshville, to the town line of Canton, where it con- nects with the Canton Falls plank road to Ogdensburgh. The road was finished about the first of July, 1852. It has been proposed to extend this road on to Edwards, and thence through to Carthage, in Jefferson county.
The Heuvelton and De Kalb P. R. Co. was organized Feb. 6, 1849, and extended to intersect the Gouverneur and Canton plank road at a point three miles east of Richville. Its length is about 13 miles. The whole road is not yet finished, but it is expected that it will be opened through early in 1853. The first directors were Wm. H. Cleghorn, Wm. Thurs- ton, John Pickens, R. W. Judson, Pelatiah Stacey, Andrew Rowlston, Lewis Sanford.
.
The Norfolk, Raymondville and Massena P. R. Co. was organized Feb. 14, 1851, to be completed in 1852. Length, 10 miles 44 chains; capital, $8,500, in 170 shares, of $50 each. A portion only of this road was completed at the close of the season of 1852. It is a continu- ation of the Potsdam road. It forms a direct communication be- tween the rail road and several thriving villages. Uriah H. Orvis. G. J. Hall, N. F. Beals, C. Sackrider, B. G. Baldwin, E. D. Ransom, Hiram Attwater, Justus Webber and Marcus Robins were first directors. U. H. Orvis, president; G. J. Hall, secretary.
