Description: A Steamboat for the Nanticoke:

Salisbury, Md., June 6:
The steamer Nanticoke, formerly the C. C. Clarke, made her first trip up the Nanticoke yesterday. The steamer leaves Baltimore every Tuesday and Saturday for Honga and Nanticoke rivers, stopping at the following wharves; Taylors, Wetipquin, Sandy Hill, Lewis, Athloy, Vienna, Riverton, Walnut, Sharptown, Truitts and Seaford. This arrangement is a great convenience to merchants along the Nanticoke in visiting Baltimore and the freight on goods is about one half railroad rates. It opens up a good country and will assist materially in developing it. There are some fine farms along the river and some valuable trucking lands. Heretofore there has been very little trucking done because there was no facilities for marketing it. Now a large quanity of fruits and vegetables crops will be raised which will find their way to the Baltimore markets. .
