Lackawaxen stands at the confluence of the river NEW YORK AND ERIE RAIL-ROAD. 81 with the Delaware, that is here dammed across under the aqueduct, supplying great water-power to the saw-mills in this thriving place. Its iron trade is also of importance, and altogether the station here must prove eventually an important one. The rail-road traverses the Lackawax- en River and part of its vale hy two substantial bridges, which, with the aqueduct, make the distant view of the village very remarkabl...e and interesting. Our prurient curiosity to trace the meaning of Indian names was en- tirely at fault in its attempt to explain the word Lacka- waxen, or Lackaivack, as it is often called We were told it meant the "junction of streams," a translation we have heard given to a dozen Indian names of different or- thography and sound. Could there have been such a rad- ical difference in the dialects of the Indian tribes ? Being the outlet of the valley along which flows such a tide of trade connected with the mines of the interior, the Delaware, and the Hudson, there is every advantage in favor of the great growth of this village and its station.
