f|s    bounded    and    shaped by the Delaware and Lehigh

Rivers, and by Bushkill Creek. It is regularly laid
out, with streets crossing each other at right an-
gles, and a public square in the centre. The
court house, standing upon this square, was built
in 1758. The part of the town lying near the
Delaware, though well elevated above the river,
is level; but ihe ground rises gradually as it re-
cedes to the W., forming a fine acclivity for that
part of the town which is the most handsomely
built, and in which are the principal churches
and other public buildings. Still more elevated,
in the rear of the town, are the buildings of La-
fayette College, which are handsomely located,
and command a beautiful prospect of the sur-
rounding country. (See Colleges.) The fine bridge
at this point, over the Delaware, 500 feet long,
was built at an expense of $80,000. The Dela-

ware, the Morris, and the Lehigh Canals form a
junction at Easton ; and railroads meet here from
Philadelphia, via Trenton, from Jersey City, op-
posite New York, and from Belvidere, an impor-
tant town a few miles to the N. The manufac-
tures of this place are of considerable impor-
tance. About a mile above Easton, on the right
