PONDS .- Quinepoxet, is a small sheet of water covering about sixty acres, in the south part of Princeton, extending into Holden, and is the only natural Pond in town. 'The outlet is the river Quinepoxet. Small portions of Wa-

chusett Pond, in the northern, and of Rutland, or "Wanchatopick" Pond, on the south-western border, lie within Princeton.
WACHUSETT MOUNTAIN .- This mountain is situated about two miles Northwest from the centre of the town. The circumference of the mountain-is about three miles, and its height is 3012 feet above the level of Massachusetts Bay, as found by actual survey, in 1777, by Hon. John Winthrop. The general elevation of the circumjacent country is about 1100 feet. Conse- quently the mountain "rears its conical head" 1900 feet above this. It is some of the first land discovered by the mariner when making for any of the sea-ports in Massachusetts. The highest part is a flat rock, or ledge of rocks, for some rods in circumference. Upon this ledge a small octagonal tower, some thirty feet in height, was erected in 1828. This, however, has become so shattered that it is at the present time of but little use. There is generally a small pond of water upon the sum- mit, some two or three rods square, and, where there is any soil, it is covered with blue-berry bushes, which, in their season, yield delicious fruit. The prospect from this mountain is extensive and grand in the extreme. "To the observer from its top, the whole State lies spread out like a map." " The neighboring hills, wind- ing into comparative insignificance, present an even outline to the beholder." On the one hand, is seen the waters of Boston harbor some fifty miles distant. On the North, the renowned Monadnock of New Hamp- shire is visible, rearing its old bald, as well as broken summit, to the clouds. In other directions, "the distant Hoosick and Green mountains fade away in the distance, and mingle with the blue horizon." " The

numerous and beautiful villages scattered intermediately in all directions, give a charm to the scene, hardly sur- passed by that of the far-famed Holyoke." The base of this mountain is covered with a heavy growth of wood, which dwindles into small trees, and, finally, to shrub- bery with flat tops, similar to that on the sea shore, as you approach the summit. This is occasioned doubt- less, in part, by the state of the atmosphere ; for it is several degrees colder, on the top than at the bottom in- variably. It may be ascended, with some difficulty ou the south side with horses ; but on the east, north, and northwest, it is exceedingly steep, broken and ledgy, and difficult of ascent even by persons on foot. In 1825, on the inauguration of John Quincy Adams to the Presi- dency, an unsuccessful attempt was made, at the sugges- tion of Ward N. Boylston, Esq., to substitute for the present name that of Mount Adams. Wachusett moun- tain was frequently, visited by the Indians, in the carly settlement of Massachusetts. Many of them spent their winters near it, during King Phillip's War. It was here that Mrs. Rowlandson, wife of the first minister in Lan- caster, the narrative of whose captivity and great suffer- ings is familiar to those who have perused the early his- tory of the Indians in this State, was released. The spot where this scene occurred is on the east side of the mountain, and is still pointed out by some of the aged inhabitants. This mountain is visited during the summer months by thousands of individuals every year.
Little Wachusett, which deserves attention, is situated about a mile North from the centre of Princeton, and to the Southwest of the mountain proper. This hill contains nearly 250 acres, mostly pasturing, though it is partially covered with wood, and that chiefly walnut.
196
MISCELLANEOUS MATTERS.
Pine Hill, some two miles from the centre, to the east of Wachusett, is about half as high as the mountain, and is nearly 2000 feet above the sea.
PRODUCTS .- The inhabitants of Princeton are princi- pally employed in agricultural pursuits. Shoe business is engaged in by a portion of the people to some extent. The female part of the inhabitants manufacture consid- erable quantities of Palm Leaf Hats. Mrs. Phebe Bea- man, who is still living, and who braided the first Palm Leaf Hat ever manufactured in town, learned the art by taking a hat to pieces. The Chair manufacture has been introduced within a few years to some extent, especially at East Princeton, and now gives employment to several workmen. As the soil is best adapted to grazing, it being naturally of a moist and springy quality, the chief products of the town are beef, butter and cheese. Grain sufficient for home consumption, is about all that is raised. Great quantities of wood are carried to Wor- cester, either in its original form or in that of charcoal.

"To his excellency Francis Bernard, Esq. Governor and Commander-in-chief in and over said Province. The Honora- ble His Majesties Council and House of Representatives, in General Court assembled, at Boston, the 30th Day of Decem- ber, Anno Domini; 1767.
The Petition of Timothy Fuller of Princeton, in the County of Worcester, Clerk, humbly shews,-That, in the month of September last, he was ordained as a Minister in said Place. That the said Place is now in its Infancy and not very able to support the Gospel, but the Harmony and Unanimity that ap- peared among them to settle your Petitioner was a great Induce- ment to accept of their invitation at the small living of fifty- three Pounds six Shillings and eight Pence per Annum, which your Petitioner apprehends is as much as they are able to pay in their Present Circumstances. That the said Place labors under many difficulties by reason of the great Expense they have been and are necessarily obliged to be at, in finishing their Meeting-House, making and maintaining new Roads in a Wil- derness Country .- And greater than any new Town lately granted as they have no public ministerial Lands for the use of the first settled minister-That the Hill called Watchusett Hill lies within the Limits of said Town, which belongs to the Province ; The whole Contents whereof are about five Hun- dred Acres, four Hundred Acres of which are mountain, barren and unfruitful, and never can be fitt for any Improvement as many of this honorable Court are well knowing. That about one Hundred Acres of it upon the South Side nigh the Foot of the Hill, altho' very rocky and uneven, may possibly be improved as Pasture Land. Your Petitioner therefore humbly prays that, as an encouragement to him (seeing there are no publick Lands
