west of the north-east corner of that state. In this 

 part of its current, about forty miles from Otsego, 

 the Susquehannah receives the Unadilla, with a con- 

 siderable accession of water, and a number o{ smaller 

 streams, which it would be useless to enumerate. 



At Harmony, which is situated at the point where 

 this river crosses the line of the two states, there is 

 a portage of twenty miles to the waters of the Dela- 

 ware. The distance of Harmony, by the course of 

 the Susquehannah, to its source in Otsego lake, is 

 computed about seventy miles. Along the Mohawk 

 river (frorti which a water communication to the 

 lakes Ontario and Seneca is about being established 

 by a canal company, holding a charter under the 

 state of New York), and the course of the Susque- ^ 

 hannah in the same state, the land is rich, and 

 heavily timbered, and selling at such reduced prices 

 as must engage a rapid settlement of that country. 

 After passing the Pennsylvania line, the Susquehan- 

 nah runs a small distance to the south, and winding 

 at the great bend in a course to the north of west, 

 it again crosses that line, seven or eight miles farther 

 (on a straight course) in a direction nearly north- 

 west, receiving in Pennsylvania a number of small 

 creeks. Meandering then to the westward through 

 the state of New York, it is increased by the Tiough- 

 nioga and Chenengo river, in a joint current, and 

 other waters of less importance. It then crosses 

 the line of the two states a third time, thirty-five or 

 forty miles from the last place of crossing, reckon- 

 ing in a direct west course. Flowing hence to the 

 south, the Susquehannah is joined at Tioga point 

 below Lockartsburg by the Gayuga, or Tioga river.
