THERE has never been a mineralogical or geological sur. vey of the town worthy of even a passing notice. What treasures may lie buried here can only be known when greater attention is given to the subject. It is certain, however, that there are quarries of limestone, some of which is white and fine grained; but large pieces, free from defects and veins, have not hitherto been ob tained. The burning of lime never has received much : attention. There are also quarries of granite. Sulphu reous iron ore, from which are derived sulphur, alum, copperas, sulphuric acid, &c. is found in immense quantities, particularly in the eastern part of the town. A web of cloth, which had been laid upon the ground to be whitened, was buried under an autumnal snow; and, when it was dug out some time afterward, it had acquired a beautiful copperas color. East of Crawford's Pond, on the land of Christopher Young, is a mineral spring which blackens leaves at its bottom; and crystallized copperas is formed on logs which lie in it. In surveying the county line a few years ago, the magnetic needle was so much disturbed for a mile or two on Appleton Ridge that it was of little or no use. ARBORAL PRODUCTS. TIMBER. When the first settlers came, the land, particularly the section of it which lies east of Seventree Pond, was covered with an uncommonly heavy growth of timber. Pine, hemlock, spruce, fir, grew |
