It flows through the great Tonnawanta swamp, that is 25 miles long, east to west, and two to seven in breadth, an area of 50,000 acres, and occupies the submerged land south of the highest ridge 400 feet above Ontario. In rainy seasons this swamp is flooded deep, and drains but slow. An open aqueduct or feeder of four and a half miles is cut through marsh, and part of the way through solid rock, by which the upper waters of the Tonnawanta, that would otherwise be absorbed in the Niagara, are no...w diverted in part to the north, and led to the Oak Orchard Creek, that through the marsh was sluggish, and before this tapping of the Tonnawanta, was in the summer of no importance ; its mass has now been greatly increased, and is made use of for hydraulic pur- poses, as after breaking through the barrier on the north it is rapid, and has a smooth rocky bed, and in leaping over the ridges, forms some beautiful cascades. Albion, the capital of Orleans County, has grown up since 1823, is on the canal near the centre of the county, 35 miles from Rochester, 50 from Buffalo, 28 from Lockport, 18 from Batavia, and 10 south of Lake Onta- rio.
