RivERs....The Delaware separates this state from New-Jersey. 

 The western branch of this river, which is called the Lehigh, rises 

 principally in the mountains of Luzerne and Northampton counties. 

 After meandering through the Broad and Blue mountains, it enters 

 a rich and more level country, and passing by Allentown and Bethle- 

 hem, joins the Delaware at Easton. Some of the branches of this 

 river are separated from others of the Susquehannah by a short dis- 

 tance ; and nothing is wanted but a degree of public spirit, to open 

 an easy communication between the extensive country irrigated by 

 the latter, and the city of Philadelphia. For this purpose a turnpike 

 has lately been formed. Schuylkill, which rises in Berks and Dau- 

 phin counties, mingles its waters with the Delaware, about five miles 

 below Philadelphia. The tide flows in the former but five miles 

 above the city, but it is navigated by boats and setting poles, 

 seventy miles higher. 



The Susquehannah is formed by two considerable streams, which 

 unite at the town of Northumberland, about 120 miles north-west 

 from the metropolis. The East branch rises in the state of New- 

 York ; and, after winding in a western direction along the border of 

 that state, enters Pennsylvania in the latitude of 42° north. The 

 West branch has its principal springs in Clearfield county. After 

 the union of the two branches, the river flows in a southern direc- 

 tion through Pennsylvania to Maryland, and after running a few 

 miles in that state, falls into the bay of Chesapeake, not far from, 

 Havre-de-Grace. Although the length of this river is about 250 miles, 

 the tide rises in it but a short distance, owing to a number of consi- 

 derable rocks, which render the navigation unsafe at all times, ex- 



* These last eight counties have been formed since the census of 1810, and 

 their population is included in that of the others.
