and being surrounded by beautiful groves, make
a fine appearance. The varied views of the river,
of the neighboring towns, and of a fertile country
of hills and vales, presented from the high grounds
on each side of the village, furnish an exhibition
of scenery of uncommon beauty. Hallowell is
about 3 miles in width, aud extended back, on each

which is often thronged in the summer mouths.

and elegant granite building, furnishing every
desirable accommodation.
