Windsor county is watered by
■White, Queechy, Black, West and
Williams’ rivers, and by other ex-
cellent mill streams. The surface
of the county is uneven, and in
some parts mountainous, but gen-
erally, it is not too elevated to ad-
mit of cultivation. The soil pro-
duces fine crops of grain, hay, veg-
etables and fruits: the lands are
peculiarly adapted for grazing, and
about 200,000 sheep graze on its
varied surface of hills and valleys

The beautiful Connecticut, which
washes its whole eastern boundary,
gives to this county large tracts of
alluvial meadow land, and affords
it a-navigable channel to the sea
boaFd, for its surplus productions,
and for its wants from abroad.

The hydraulic power of Windsor
county is very large, and its local
position is such as to induce men of
enterprize and capital to embark in
manufacturing operations, which
are annually increasing with fair
prospects of success.

Windsor, Vt.

Windsor co. Windsor was first
settled in 1764. Its surface is un-
even, but there are but few parts
of it unfit for cultivation. It con-
tains large tracts of alluvial mead-
ow, and the uplands are generally
fertile. Mill brook waters the
south part of the town, and fur-
nishes it with excellent mill sites.
The manufactures of the town are
numerous and valuable. The ag-
ricultural interests are also valu-
able : 10,000 sheep are annually
sheared in the town, and many
neat cattle, horses and productions
of the dairy are annually transpor-
ted to its various markets.

This town has become the cen-
tre of an important commerce, both
from the river and a fertile interior
country. The favorable position
of Windsor, as a place of trade,
was early discovered,' and it has
been fortunate in possessing a suc-
cession of men, who, by their en-
terprise and wealth, have rendered
it one of the most flourishing towns
on Connecticut river.

Windsor is situated on the west
side of that delightful river, 55
