The surface is rough and hilly, but there is some

Lake Bombazine, seven miles in length and two
in breadth, is chiefly in this town. It is stored
with fish, and has an island near its centre of
exquisite beauty. The village of Castleton is
elevated and neatly built. It was incorporated
in 1847. There is considerable variety in the
soil and surface. The rocks are chiefly argilla-
ceous. • The soil of the plains is sandy and light;
on the hills it is slaty, gravel, loam, and vegeta-
ble mould. Castleton River, and its tributary
brooks, furnish considerable water power. Being
increased by many abundant springs along its
bed, its waters are very pure and cool in summer,
and seldom frozen in winter. The first dwelling
house was erected in August, 1769, of which Colo-
nel Lee and his servant were the sole inhabitants
the following winter. In 1770, Ephraim Buel,
Eleazer Bartholomew, and Zadock Remington,
with their families, settled in this town, and were

Cavendish, Vt., Windsor co. The soil is good,
and easy to cultivate. Black River and Twenty
Mile Stream are the principal waters. Along
these streams are some small tracts of fine inter-
vale. The greatest curiosity in the town, and
perhaps the greatest of the kind in the state, is
at the falls on Black River, which are situated
between Dutton's Village and White's Mills.
Here the channel of the river has been worn down
100 feet, and rocks of very large size have been
undermined and thrown down, one upon another.
Holes are worn into the rocks, of various dimen-
sions and forms. Hanks's Mountain, which sepa-
rates Baltimore from this town, derives its name
from Colonel Hanks, who, during the French and
Indian wars, encamped thereon for the night, with
a small regular force. There are two villages, viz.,
Duttonsville and Proctorsville. Near the latter
village are large quarries of soapstone and serpen-
tine. The settlement of this place was commenced
in 1769, by Captain John Coffin. 10 miles S. W.
