Farmington Eiver rises in the highlands in the
N. part of Berkshire co., Ms., and after meander-
ing delightfully through the towns of New Hart-
ford and Burlington, in a S. E. direction, it
changes its course at Farmington to the N., and
passing Avon and Simsbury to the border of
Granby, it again turns abruptly to the E., and
meets the Connecticut at Windsor. This is a
beautiful and fertilizing stream, and gives to the
towns through which it passes, but particularly
to Farmington, large tracts of rich alluvial
meadows.

Farmington village is a delightful place, on an
elevated plain, surrounded by high hills. It is
connected with New Haven by railroad.

Eound Hill, in the meadows, near the village,
is a natural curiosity. It rises abruptly to the
height of 60 feet, is nearly circular in its form,
and covers 12 acres.
