The head of rafting navigation in the West Branch is about a mile from its mouth; in the Dyberry, about four miles. The Middle creek is too much obstructed by rapids to admit of any navigation; and the Wallenpau- pac creek affords a navigation for about 15 or 20 miles, when it is interrupted by the great falls. The distance from the highest navigable point in the Dyberry to the mouth of the Lackawaxen is 27 miles, thence to Phila- delphia is 170 miles. All the lakes and rivers are stock- ed with fish, amongst which are trout, suckers, cat-fish, perch and eels.
Wallenpaupac Falls .- The great falls of the Wallen- paupac are of sufficient importance to merit a notice .- From the head of the Wallenpaupac flats, the creeks, after a previous rapid course, flows in a sinuous chan- nel for a distance of 15 miles with scarcely any sensible motion. Arrived at the head of the falls, the bed of the creek appears suddenly depressed, and forms a chasm, into which the water pours down a depth of near 70 feet, and then rushing furiously in a deep rocky channel, is precipitated over three successive cataracts within a

distance of a mile and an half of the mouth of the creek, producing a total fall in that distance, of one hundred and fifty feet. The width of the creek above the falls is seventy feet. The scite of the upper fall is improved by two saw-mills and a grist-mill, a short distance above which a wooden bridge crosses and connects the route of the Milford and Owego turnpike road. The remains of Willsonville, the ancient seat of justice of Wayne county are situated near this place. But local poli- cy has transferred the scene of public business to other places, and the creek is now the common boundary of Wayne and Pike counties.
Borough of Bethany .- BETHANY is the seat of justice for Wayne county. It is situated on a commanding em- inence which declines on every side, except the north, and overlooks the adjacent country for a considerable distance. It contains 38 dwelling-houses, a court-house, a fire-proof building for the public offices, a Presbyteri- an church, an academy, two taverns, four stores, a post- office, a printing office, and several artizan's and me- chanics' establishments. It is 36 miles from Milford, 111 from New-York, and 123 from Philadelphia. Bethany was incorporated as a borough by act of Assembly, March 31, 1821.
HONESDALE is situated in the Lackawaxen valley, at the confluence of the Dyberry and Lackawaxen, three miles and an half south-east from Bethany. Two years ago the scite of this village was occupied by woods; but since the commencement of active operations near the head of the Lackawaxen canal, and on the rail-road, both of which terminate near this place, a town has been laid out on the spot, and now contains 18 dwelling-houses, 4 stores, a tavern, a post-office, and the offices of the Del- aware and Hudson Canal Company.
CENTREVILLE is situated in Mountpleasant township, twelve miles north-west from Bethany. It contains 14 dwellings, two taverns, two stores, and a post-office. A Presbyterian church is building in this village.
DAMASCUS is situated near the Delaware river, sixteen miles north-east from Bethany. It contains 8 dwellings, a Baptist church, a tavern, a store, and a post-office.
CLARKSVILLE is situated eight miles south-west from Bethany, in Canaan township, near Rix's Gap. It con- tains Y dwellings, two taverns, two stores, and a post- office.
SALEM Corners is 20 miles south-west from Bethany. It contains 7 dwellings, two taverns, a post-office, and two stores.
Bethany Glass Factory is owned and occupied by Messrs. Greele and Taatz-is situated a mile and an half from Bethany. Its production is chiefly window glass. From a statement given by one of the proprie- tors, it appears that its annual consumption of raw ma- terials amounts to 15,000 dollars; annual contingent ex- penses 3,000. It employs 40 men and 8 boys, at an an- nual expense of 7000 dollars. It is kept in operation a- bout three-fourths of the year, and manufactures 450,- 000 feet or 9,000 boxes of window glass, annually, val- ued at 3 dollars per box.
TURNPIKE ROADS. There are six turnpike roads completed, and in good condition. The Coshecton and Great Bend Turnpike Road, commences at the village of Damascus, on Delaware river, at the termination of the turnpike from Newburgh to Coshecton. At this place there is a substantial bridge across the river, 550 feet in length; thence the turnpike passes through the townships of Damascus, Lebanon, and Mount Pleasant. and extends to the Great Bend of Susquehanna. Incor- porated March 29, 1804.
The Milford and Owego Turnpike Road, commences at Milford in Pike county, and enters Wayne county at Willsonville, whence it passes through the townships of Palmyra, Dyberry, and Canaan, by Clarksville, to Rix's Gap, and extends by Montrose, in Susquehanna county, to Owego, In the state of New York-incorporated Jan. 26, 1807.

township, and extends through the borough of Bethany and the townships of Dyberry and Palmyra, to its inter- section with the Milford and Owego Turnpike in Pike County. Incorporated April 2, 1811.
The Belmont and Easton Turnpike Road commences at Belmont, in Mount Pleasant township, and passes through the townships of Canaan, Salem, and Sterling, to the south line of Wayne county, and thence to the Easton and Wilkesbarre Turnpike, in Northampton county. Incorporated March 13, 1812.
The Belmont and Oghquaga Turnpike road, com- mences at Belmont, and extends in a northwardly direc- tion, crossing the west line of the County in l'reston township, and thence continues in a direction to Ogh- quaga in the state of New York. Incorporated Feb. 26, 1817.
The Luzerne and Wayne County Turnpike Road, commences in Luzerne county, and enters into Wayne county near Salem corners, whence, passing through Salem and Palmyra townships, it continues to its inter- section with the Milford and Owego Turnpike in Pike county. Incorporated February 24, 1820.

Canal and Rail Road.
The Lackawaxen Canal, constructed by the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company, extends from Honesdale down by the eastern and northern side of Lackawaxen river to its mouth, descending 371 feet by 37 locks .- The Delaware and Hudson Canal is connected with its lower extremity, and extends down the eastern side of Delaware river to Carpenter's Point, and thence to Kingston on the Hudson river. The Lackawaxen Ca- nal is 20 feet wide at bottom, 32 feet at top, and 6 fect deep. The boats that navigate the canal are 70 feet long, 8 feet 7 to 8 inches wide, and carry 25 tons.
From Honesdale a rail road extends up the valley of the west branch of Lackawaxen; and crossing the river near the mouth of Vanorba brook, it continues in a western direction through Canaan township, and across the Moosic mountain at Rix's Gap to Carbondale, being 16 miles in length; overcoming an elevation and de- scent of 1812 feet, by 8 inclined planes, one of which is near the mouth of Vanorba-two on the eastern and five on the western side of the mountain. At the head of each inclined plane is erected a building, con- taining a stationary steam engine, for the purpose of as- sisting the wagons in the ascent and descent.
Forest, and its productions.
The greater part of Wayne county is yet overshadow- ed by its native forest. The country may indeed for the most part, be regarded as a heavy forest, with inter- spersed patches of clearing. Looking from an open eminence over the tops of the trees, the prospect affords a variety of streaks of lighter and darker shades; which distinguish the deciduous and evergreens, while the undulating appearance of the country, under the eye, adds much to the effect of the scene. As an appendage to the picture, the occasional patches of clearing appear in the distance like chasms in a dense surface of vege- table green.
Entering the woods for a close examination, we find it composed of tall and straight trees of various species,

not generally intermingled, but rather arranged in par- cels or bodies of various extent, in which particular spe- cies predominate. We also observe the brush or under- wood subject to a corresponding variety, while in many instances the woods are totally clear of underwood to an extent of several hundred acres.
The southern border of the county presents a differ- ent grade of variety. The principal characters already described cease, or are reversed, and the forest here as- · sumes both a distinct vegetation and peculiar arrange- ment. The ground is covered with several species of shrubs and underwood; the trees appear in detached clumps, or in groves of small extent, consisting chiefly of pines, hemlocks, oaks, and chesnut. This portion of the woods is termed "open woods," as the former is distinguished by the name of "Beech woods."
The forest affords a variety of wild fruits, among which are cherries, plums, grapes, gooseberries, whor- tleberries, cranberries, raspberries, blackberries- shell bark, walnuts, chesnuts, butternats, and beech nuts. The Sugar Maple abounds in the Beech Woods and affords a delicacy which habit has translated into a necessary of life. The quantity of sugar annually ma- nufactured from the sap of this tree is sufficient to ren- der this county independent of foreign supplies, and a surplus might be afforded for exportation. Many fami- lies manufacture from 300 to 700 pounds of sugar dur- ing the season, which lasts about six weeks, in the early part of the spring.
The county, indeed, derives its greatest source of wealth from the forest. The open woods afford white pine, yellow pine, oak, chesnut and hemlock. The beech woods furnish cherry, whitewood, white pine, bass wood, black and white ash, curled and spotted maple, becch and hemlock. The following account of the lumber rafted on the Lackawaxen and Delaware rivers, within the county of Wayne, was collected at the several rafting places; and shews the description and quantity of the lumber rafted on cach river with the average value at market and the amount in the year.

CLIMATE .- Wayne County partakes of that variety of climate usually attributed to mountainous, woody re- gions in this latitude. Frosts have been known to set in as early as September, and to continue to appear as late as June; but this is not common. Except extraor- dinary seasons, the montlis of December, January, Feb- ruary and March never pass without deep snow; and sometimes part of the months of November and April are included. It is remarked, that on the uplands the I eign matters imbedded in its substance.
cold does not make that impression which it makes in the vallies; vegetation there is both earlier, and much more secure from frost. Winter may be said to com- mence about the middle of December, and to terminate about the last of March; but its greatest rigours are ex- perienced during the month of February. About the beginning or towards the middle of April there is usual- ly a week or ten days of warm pleasant weather, at which time the snow remaining in the woods dissolves rapidly and creates the spring freshets. This is, there- fore, the busy season with rafts men. There is usually much rainy weather with occasional sleet, from the end of. this period until the middle of May, about which time the trees begin to put forth their leaves, and the woods soon assume a green livery. The weather con- tinues variable but warm, until towards the end of June. Grass is cut about the middle of July, and winter grain towards the last of August. In July there is much south- erly wind with occasional thunder showers. The month of August is the most sultry of the whole year; and it is not unusual to have a drought of two or three weeks during this month, which is succeeded by occasional showers, accompanied sometimes with thunder. In September the weather is variable with much rain to- wards the latter part of the month. Buck-wheat and Indian corn are ripe about the middle of October. The leaves of the trees suffer from the frosts and the forest is stripped of its foliage about the last of October. The weather continues variable, with occasional cold snaps, and winter fires are lighted about the beginning of De- cember.
Geology .- The geological formation of Wayne county is transition. Its stratified rocks consist of brown ar- gillaceous slate, grey wacke, grey wacke slate, and limestone, which alternate with each other. The Moo- sic mountain is composed of conglomerate or pudding stone, resting on grey wacke, and containing beds of amygdaloid. A bed of clay slate occurs near the mouthi of Cauley brook in Dyberry township, interposed be- tween strata of grey wacke slate. This rock also oc- curs on the western side of the Moosic mountain near the Belmont coal mine. The brown slate is the transi- tion clay slate or argillite of geologists. It readily splits. into thin plates, which exhibit glimmering scales of mi- ca on their surface. Its color is usually brown, by ox- yde of iron, being highly ferruginous, it however, some- times of a greyish color. Clay slate is of the variety cal- led shining argillite. It is of a fine texture; its fracture is rather splintery than slaty, and exhibits a glassy lus- tre; its color is a smoke grey or clove color; it is used for whet stones, for which it is well adapted.
Grey wacke and grey wacke slate are in fact varieties of the same species, referred to same stone-the essen- tial difference between these varieties consists merely in the relative proportions of their constituent parts. Grey wacke is comprised of angular grains or fragments, chiefly of quartz and felspar, united by an indurated ar- gillaceous cement. Grey wacke slate is composed of the same substances: but the grains are so minute that they are scarcely visible by the eye; and the mass ap- pears nearly homogenous; the color is a blueish grey, sometimes a smoke grey and the fracture is glimmering from interspersed particles of mica.
Amygdaloid has a basis similar to grey wacke in which are imbedded fragments of a spheroidal or oval form, of various sizes, from that of a pea to that of an egg. The base is subject to decomposition, leaving the nodules to project above the surface and finally to drop out.
Conglomerate is also an aggregate or sand stone. It is composed of siliceous pebbles of various forms: gene- rally rounded, united by a cement. It is frequently em- ployed for mill-stones, and is said to be nearly equal in quality to the burr. It contains veins of sulphuret of iron, feldspar and quartz.
The limestone is of a compact texture and uneven fracture, and sometimes slaty. It sometimes contains for- It is fusible at

a white heat into a black glass which denotes the pre- sence of much siliceous matter.
The strata of brown slate and grey wacke most fre- quently alternate, and are of considerable thickness and extent, declining from the horizon at an angle of thirty degrees, and sometimes more. It is frequently the case, that the recession of the several strata over each other form successive ridges; which seem to rise behind each other like steps to the summit of the upland. Thus, as- cending from Dyberry flat towards Bethany, the first ridge crossed by the turnpike is brown slate, dipping to- wards the north-west. This is succeeded by a small stra- tum of limestone near the south line of the Borough. The Bethany ridge rising next is grey wacke slate, with the exception of a small quantity of limestone, cros- sing the public square diagonally towards the north. The ridge south-west from Bethany is brown slate and grey wacke in alternate strata. Beyond the west branch of Bethany brook, grey wacke and brown slate in strata from ten to an hundred feet thick, alternate, with occa- sional small strata of limestone, dipping also to the north- west.
These are said to be among the purest of all varieties of fuel: they contain 90 per cent. of carbon, there being but from 3 to 5 per cent. of incombustible matter, the rest being water. *
The Delaware and Hudson Canal company have com- menced operations on an extensive scale, for the trans- portation of anthracite to New-York market, at Carbon- dale, which is situated within the limits of Luzerne county. From this place a railway extends to Ilones- dale, in Dyberry township, a distance of sixteen miles and a quarter. A canal extends from Honesdale to the mouth of Lackawaxen river: and thence to Kingston on the Hudson river. These works are nearly completed, The Belmont coal mine is situated in the same valley, about seven miles above Carbondale. In its vicinity is found clay iron stone, in nodules and amorphous mas- ses. Some of these nodules exhibit only a shell filled with a dark blueish liquid, of the consistence of paint; or with a compact substance of the same color, of differ- ent degrees of hardness, but always capable of being cut with a knife. A specimen of this ore yielded 33 per cent, of metallic iron.
A company was incorporated by the Legislature of Pennsylvania, in the winter of 1825-6, for constructing a rail-way from the Belmont mine to the Susquehanna river. The company is empowered to hold 2000 acres of coal land, for the purpose of carrying on the coal trade. It has also the privilege of engaging in the manufacture of iron, &c.

the payment of interests due on that day on loans, of 53,- 880 dollars. Agreeably to the estimate made by the Au- ditor General of the probable receipts and expenditures at the treasury of the commonwealth, from the 1st De- cember 1828, to the 30tlı November 1829, under exist- ing laws, there will be a balance in the State treasury on the 30th of November 1829, of 145,615 dollars 46 cents. Should the legislature direct the transfer, from the bal- ance in the treasury on the 30th of November next, to the Internal Improvement Fund, of a sum sufficient to make up the estimated deficiency in that fund on the 1st day of February next, there would still remain in the treasury a sufficiency of money to meet the demanda up- on it under existing laws.
