gainst accidents with an ex- press view to its use in expe- ditions of this sort; that it went and returned without in- jury ; and at the end of the journey agreed with other in- struments at the University, precisely as it had done before its removal.
"In confirmation of the pres- ent estimate, it may also be ob- served, that a geometrical ad- measurement, taken by Dr. Shattuck, and others from the plain in front of Rosebrook's house, gave to the summit an elevation of 4620 feet above that place. This being added to 1648,the barometrical height of Rosebrook's above the sea, will give a total of 6268 feet, differing only 43 feet from our estimate.
" W.Maclure, Esq. author of the geological map of the United States, informs me,that from two geometrical admeas- urements made some years since on the eastern and wes- tern sides of the mountain, he arrived at results nearly simi- lar."
WILTON, a township in Hills- borough county, was incorpo- rated in 1762,and contains1017 inhabitants ; bounded N. by Lyndeborough, E. by Milford, S. by Mason, and W.by Tem- ple : its area is 15,820 acres.

There are in this place 3 re- containing each 50 or 60 acres. ligious societies and 2 meeting- houses. Rev. M. Lawrence was settled here in 1764, and Rev. E. Conant in 1788.

WINDHAM, in Rockingham county, was incorporated in 1741, and contains 742 inhabi- tants ; bounded N. by London- derry,'E. by New-Salem, S. by Pelham, and W. by Notting- ham West and Londonderry : its area is 15,744 acres. One half of Policy pond lies in this town, and the other half in Salem ; it is 420 rods long and 140 wide; Cabbo pond 600 rods long and 100 wide ; Hite- lite, Golden, and Mitchell's ponds and other smaller ones are in this town. Beaver riv- er forms the western boundary of Windham. The London- derry turnpike crosses the eas- tern extremity of the town. There is here 1 meeting-house, in which the Rev. Johnson was ordained in 1760. Rev. J. Kinkeed, S. Williams, and the present minister Rev. S. Harris, have succeeded him. There are in this place several mills and stores.
WINDSOR, in Hillsborough county, contains 238 inhabi- tants, and is bounded W. by Cheshire county, N. by Hills- borough, and S. by Antrim, comprising 5,335 acres. There are here several small ponds,
The 2d N. H. turnpike cross- es the northern extremity of the town.
WINNIPISEOGEE LAKE is the largest body of water in New-Hampshire, being 22 miles in length from S. E. toN. W. Its breadth is very une- qual, but in no place more than 8 miles. Some very long points of land project into this lake, and it contains several islands. The surrounding mountains give rise to many streams which flow into it. From the S. E. extremity of this lake called Merry- Meeting bay, to its N. W. point called Centreharbor, there is good navigation in the summer and a good road in the winter, which is much travel- led by the people of the adja- cent towns. The lake is froz- en about 3 months in the year .. Trout are caught here weigh- ing from 5 to 25 lb. Cusk are also caught here. The wa- ters of this lake are about 470 feet higher than the tide wa- ters of Dover river.
WINNIPISEOGEE RIVER is the stream through which the waters of the above lake flow into Merrimack river. It is- sues from the southwestern arm of the lake at a place which is remarkable for the number of fish caught there. It then opens into Long bay between Meredith and Gilford, thence through a lesser bay to Meredith bridge, thence be- tween Gilmanton and Sanborn-

ton into Sanbornton bay, which is about 7 miles long and 3 wide. This river divides Sanbornton from Gilmanton, and flows be- tween Sanbornton and North- field to Pemigewasset river, (which see.) The whole dis- tance from the lake to this junction with the Pemigewas- set river is 20 miles. It is in contemplation to cut a canal from the lake to Merrimack, the waters of the lake being about232 feet higher than those of the Merrimack, and about 438 feet higher than those of Charles river, where the Mid- dlesex canal empties into it. It cannot be doubted that these canals would benefit the sur- rounding country by facilitat- ing the transportation of its productions and enhancing the value of its lands.
WINNICONETT (commonly called Winnicot) river, rises in a large swamp in Hampton, and after a northerly course through a part of Stratham in- to Greenland, it meets the tide- waters about 200 feet from the Great bay.
WOLFEBOROUGH, in Strafford county, was incorporated in 1770, and in 1810, contained 1376 inhabitants ; bounded N. W. by Moultonborough, N.E.
by Ossipee, S.E. by Brookfield and New-Durham, and S. W. by Alton and lake Winnipiseo- gee, containing 28,600 acres, 400 of which are water. Smith's . pond, 1050 rods long and 556 wide, in the southeast part of the town, discharges its waters westerly through Crooked riv- er into the lake. There are here several other large ponds, viz. Crooked, Rust's, Baston's, and Sargeant's ponds. At a place called Smith's bridge there is a small village contain- ing several mills, stores, &c.
Rev. E. Allen, a congrega- tionalist, and Elder Townsend, a baptist, were the first ordain- ed ministers in this town. They were both ordained on the 25th of October, 1792. Elder Townsend is still in office. There are in this town 2 meet- ing-houses, 8 school-houses, 4 grain-mills, 4 saw-mills, 1 clothing-mill, and 1 carding- machine. A family of the name of Blake were the first who moved into this town. Mr. Blake and wife are still living.
At the foot of a hill which stands on the bank of one of the ponds in this town, there is a spring strongly impregnated with a mineral substance which is said to give the water a quality similar to those of the Saratoga springs. J.G.O.
