It is situated 40 miles west from Seneca Lake, and is boatable nearly 50 miles, but its navigation is interrupted by some falls. On this river are extensive and very rich bottoms, which are in some parts nearly two miles wide, and are partly overflowed in the spring season ; in consequence of which the inhabitants near them are subject to agues and other bilious complaints. Its flats are in some parts cleared of timber for several thousand acres, which are covered with very high and thick grass.

The Tioga river receives the waters of the Cawanisque, Canisteo, and Conhocton rivers, and flows about 8 miles through the south-east corner of this country to the Susquehanna river at Tioga Point. From this river, arks are loaded with 1200 bushels of grain, boats and rafts of lumber, proceed to markets on the Susequehanna river, and even to the city of Baltimore.* In the sprmg of 1804, it is supposed that 50 or 60 arks and boats, laden with produce from this country, besides many rafts, were floated down this river to the Susquehanna.

* It is expected that a great part of the produce of this country , wiU soon be transported to the Philadelphia market, by a turnpike road, which is nearly completed, between Niscopack, on the Susquehannah, and the river Lehigh, which discharges itself into the Delaware river; the distance of the road being 23 miles. By this route, it is said, the most difficult falls on the Susquehannah may be avoided, and produce will command the highest prices. Produce which is transported down Susquehannah river, is insured by Mr. Goldsborough at Newtown.
