Sunbury, Pa. Seat of justice of Northumber-
land co. 58 miles N. by E. from Harrisburg.
It is beautifully situated on a broad plain on the
E. side of the Susquehanna, just below the con-
fluence of its N. and W. branches at Northum-
berland. The navigation of the Pennsylvania
Canal is carried across the river by a basin in
front of the town, nearly a mile in width, created
by the Shamokin dam, 2783 feet long, a short
distance below. A railroad is in operation for
19 miles, from Sunbury to the Shamokin coal
mines, which was originally projected to extend
to Pottsville. An enterprise is on foot for the
development of a great water power, by the con-
struction of a short canal from the Susquehan-
na basin, in the rear of the town, to empty into
the Shamokin Creek, below the level of the great
dam. With this improvement, and the abundant
supplies of coal, iron, and limestone in the imme-
diate vicinity, Sunbury must become an active
manufacturing place. A bridge about a mile
above the town, aeross the N. branch of the

Susquehanna, connects it with Northumber
land.

Sunderland, Ms., Franklin co. This town lies
on the E. side of Connecticut River. It was taken

the Battenkill in Arlington. The soil consists
of alluvion, loam, and marl. Near the foot of
the Green Mountains, the sulphurct of iron is
found in considerable quantities. On the side of
the mountain a vein of lead ore has been discov-
ered in granular limestone. The settlement was
commenced in 1766, by emigrants from Connec-

meadow land, extending almost the whole length
of the town. On the E. side of Ashuelot River
is a steep and high mountain, on the summit
of which is a pond of about 3 acres in extent,
and about 25 feet depth of water. Surry was
originally a part of Gilsum and Westmoreland,

Susquehanna Comity, Pa., c. h. at Montrose.
Broome co., N. Y., is on the N., Wayne co.,
Pa, E., Luzerne S., and Bradford W. The
soil generally is of a middling quality, and
the surface hilly. The local features of this
county are very peculiar. The Susquehanna en-
ters and again retires from its northern border,
and thence, after an immense sweep through
Broome and Tioga counties, N. Y., and.Brad-
ford co., Pa., it again reaches, in the N. W.
angle of Luzerne, within less than 5 miles
from the S. W. angle of Susquehanna. From this
singular position, the creeks of the latter county
flow from its centre like radii of a circle, and yet
nearly all enter Susquehanna River.

town shire towns. Delaware Bay is on the
