Orleans County.
ORLEANS COUNTY is in the northern part of the state, about midway between lake Champlain and Connecticut river. It is bounded on the north by Conad, East, on the cast by Essex county. on the south by Caledonia and It- moille, and on the west b, Lamville and Franklin counties. The length is about thirty miles, and the width on the northern border about the same. It contains nineteen towns, at the present time. Four towns were taken from it to id in the formation of the new county of Lamoille.
The towns are as follows, viz :

Population.
This county has some peculiarities. It lies wholly within the Y of the Green Mountains, and has generally a north- erly slope. It abounds in pomls, lakes and streams. No county in the state contains so many ponds and lakes. A considerable portion of Memphremagog lake lies between the towns of Derby and Newport, and extends into Coven- try. Willoughby lake lies in Westmore, and is about six miles long, and from one-half mile to a mile and a half in width. Seymour lake in Morgan is nearly as large. Cas- pian Jake in Greensboro, and Crystal lake ( Bellewater pond) in Barton, ate very beautiful bodies of water of less area.
Holland pond, Echo pond in Charleston, Salem pond in Salem and Derby, Brownington pond in Brownington and Salem, Great Hosmer pond in Albany and Craftsbury, Little Hosmer pond in Craftsbury, Elligo pond in Crafts- bury and Greensboro, Derby pond in Derby, Stone's pond and Parker's pond in Glover, Long pond in Greensboro, and Long pond in Westmore, are considerable bodies of water. A large number of smaller ponds are found in several other towns.
58
GEOGRAPHY AND HISTORY OF VERMONT.
Barton, Black, Clyde and Willoughby rivers, all of them considerable streams, are almost entirely within the county. Missisco river waters four towns in the western part of the county, and flows northerly till it enters Canada, through which it passes in a westerly course several miles, and then re-enters Vermont in the county of Franklin. Both La- moille river and Lamoille branch rise in the county, and flow westerly into lake Champlain. These streams furnish a large amount of very valuable water power, remarkably well distributed to meet the necessities of the inhabitants. The large amount of meadow or interval land bordering on the rivers, ponds and lakes, is hardly cqualled in any other county. The soil on the table lands and hills, situated be- tween the streams, lakes. &e., is of excellent quality. In the central parts of the county, the higher hills are capable of easy cultivation, often to their summity. The promi- nent varieties of rock being silicious limestone and slate, are rapidly decomposing and constantly forming new soil.
For many years Crattsbury and Brownington were half shire towns. Trasburgh is now the shire town, and contains the county buildings.
Derby has the greatest number of inhabitants, and the most wealth. Irasburgh ranks next in wealth, and Barton in population. The climate is remarkably favorable to health. The gain in population has been greater during the last ten years, than in any other county in the state. The county now has the benefit of a railroad, and will still more rapidly increase.

The length of the county is forty-two miles; the width about thirty-four. In the south-western part the soil is of the best quality, but in the other parts the land is broken and hilly. Several towns lie on the Green Mountains. The soil in these, when cultivated, generally produces well. The county is next to Windsor in wealth. Otter Creek, which is a fine stream, flows through the county from south to north, and divides it near the middle. The eastern part is watered by the head branches of White, Black, and Queeche rivers; the western part by Hubbardton, Castle- ton and Poultney rivers, which fall into the lake. Lake Hiram or Spectacle pond in Wallingford, Wells pond or lake Austin, in Wells, and lake Bombazine in Castleton, are considerable bodies of water. Rutland is the shire town, and the wealthiest in Vermont. It has more than doubled in population since 1850, and now nearly equals Burlington. It owes its rapid increase of wealth and popu-

lation, in part to the railroads built within a few years, and in part to its quarries of marble, of great excellence. More beautiful marble can hardly be found. Many men are con- stantly employed in quarrying it, and the railroads in trans- porting it to market. The town derives great revenue from this source. Brandon is next in wealth. This town is fa- mous for its " frozen well," a great natural curiosity. It has valuable mines of iron, brown coal and kaolin. Large quantities of red, brown, yellow and roofing paint are man- ufactured here, of great excellence. The kaolin is being employed for various useful purposes. Excellent amber abounds. Marble of great excellence is also found. Ilowe's scales are manufactured in this town. The town is greatly benefitted by the railroad, passing near the principal village. Car wheels are manufactured here in large quantities, of excellent quality. Mineral springs occur at Clarendon, which are more celebrated than any in the state, except ut Alburgh. Pittsford, Castleton, Wallingford and Poultney, are large and important towns. Poultney is the seat of the Troy Conference Academy, an institution of great merit. Castleton has long been the seat of an excellent medical school. Excellent stock is found here.

This county lies chiefly between the two ranges of the Green Mountains, and is very uneven. It is watered by Winooski river and its branches. The principal rocks are limestone, granite, argillaceous slate, quartz, chlorite, and mica schist. The soil is generally excellent, and the county increasing in wealth. Montpelier, situated near the centre of the state, is the shire town, and also the capital of the state. The State House located here, is one of the finest buildings in the United States. Montpelier is the wealthiest town in the county, but ranks the second in population. This results from the fact that a new town, East Montpelier, has been organized from the territory originally belonging to the town. 'T'he area of Montpelier is now small compared with most other towns.
The State House which occupies the site of that burnt in 1857, is justly the pride of the town and the state. Be- sides the Capitol and Court House, Montpelier contains one of the largest and most elegant buildings found in the state for schools. This building is an honor to the citizens as well as an ornament to the village. Excellent water power on both the Winooski river and Worcester branch, adds much to the importance of the village, which is a central place of business for surrounding towns. Sloan Hospital, with ex-

GEOGRAPHY AND HISTORY OF VERMONT.
tensive accommodations for sick and wounded soldiers, was established here in 1864. The hotels are large, and furnish excellent accommodation for the members of the Legisla- ture when in session, as well as to the public generally.
Barre is an excellent agricultural town. In this town was procured the beautiful granite of which the State House is constructed. It has a large and prosperous schicol, affording excellent facilities for education.
Northfield has the greatest population. It has, till recent- ly, had the entire benefit of the machine shops connected with the Vermont Central railroad. It has also the advantage of extensive factories, for which the water power is excel- lent. A quarry of excellent roofing slate has been opened in Northfield. The slate appears very beautiful, and will no doubt compete favorably with that wrought at Duinmers- ton, Castleton, and other places. Excellent scythe stones are manufactured from stone found in the same town. Wa- terbury has many facilities for increase of wealth and pop- ulation. It is the third in population in the county. The entire county is immensely benefitted by the Central rail- road, furnishing casy conanunication with the east, south and west.

This county is thirty-six miles in length, and twenty- eight miles wide. The shire town is Newfane, situated near the centre of the county. The county is watered by Deer- field, West, Williams' and Saxton's rivers. It is very hilly, and the western part mountainous. On the Connecticut river are fine tracts of land and some excellent towns, where large crops of grass, corn and grain may be raised ; and the county ranks high for wealth. The wealthiest and most populous town is Brattleboro, which has an Asylum for the Insane, that has long been an honor to the state. A hos- pital for sick and wounded soldiers has been established since the present war commeneed. In West Brattleboro a seminary for the education of' females is in successful oper- ation, and has become highly popular. Graded schools have been commenced in this county with prospects of eminent usefulness. Rockingham is the second in wealth and popu- lation. Westminster, Wilmington, P'utney, Townshend and Guilford, are wealthy and prosperous towns. Quarries of good roofing slate are found in several towns, some of which have been wrought for more than half a century. Chro-

This county is forty-eight miles in length and thirty in breadth. White river crosses the northern part, Queeche river flows through the central part, and Black river waters the southern part. Much of the land is hilly, and some- times rises into high mountains. The soil is generally good, and yields excellent crops of corn, grass and grain. The streams, many of them, have rich tracts of low land, or in- tervals, along their banks, and all of them afford fine sites for mills and factories.
There are several flourishing villages, of which Woodstock, Windsor, Royalton, White River and Norwich are among the more important. At Norwich a school for military in- struction was established many years ago. Many men have been educated here who have done honor to the state and country. It has since been established as a college, but still

maintains essentially its original character as a military school. Woodstock is the most wealthy and populous town, and Springfield ranks second in wealth and population. The State Prison is located at Windsor. Woodstock is the shire town. This county has more wealth than any other in the State, and is also the most populous. Mineral springs occur at Hartford and Chester.

LESSON XXV.
Climate.
Among the things that modify the climate of the state, the different degrees of elevation of surface deserve partic- ular attention. The constant and regular decrease of tem- perature in ascending above the surface of the ocean, has led to efforts to ascertain the law of decrease. The experi- ments of Prof. Leslie resulted in establishing the law, that an elevation of 319 feet above the surface would affect the thermometer one degree. Brande gives an elevation of 300 feet, as affecting the thermometer one degree. But other things modify the effect, especially the inclination of surface, whether inclined to the south, or the north.
The proximity of high mountains, from the summits of which cold currents of air descend in the direction of the wind, and also of large bodies of water, materially modify the temperature of places contiguous to them. There is a great difference in the elevation of the cultivated land in the stats. On the islands in Lake Champlain, the elevation is only from one to two hundred feet above the ocean. Consid- erable land on the borders of the lake is not much more
72
GEOGRAPHY AND HISTORY OF VERMONT.
elevated. The altitude of lakes, ponds, towns and villages, so far as ascertained during the Geological and other surveys, will be found in the following table. It is proper to remark, that there is considerable variation in the results to which dif- ferent persons have arrive l. Capt. Partridge gives the ele- vation of Killington Peak as 3294 feet above the ocean, while Prof. Guyot gives it 4221. The elevations, excepting in a few instances, are given as in the Geological Report. Twining's and other survey's are sometimes relied on.
