two nail factories. This place lies

town is 7 miles E. from Benning-
ton, on the road to Brattleborough.
Population, 1830, 395.

Woodford contains several large
ponds, from which issue branches
of Woloomsack and Deerfield riv-
ers. There is a good deal of wild
scenery on the road in crossing the
mountains from Bennington through
Woodford and Searshurgh:    the

gurgling .of the streams down the
mountain sides, allay, in a great
degree, the fatigue of the jour-
ney. The greater part of this
township is too elevated and broken
for cultivation. It is a good loca-
tion for the sportsman; for fish and
fowl are abundant, and the deer,
the bear, and other wild animals,
roam with almost undisputed sway
