and called North Haverhill. In
the north-west corner of the town,
at the junction of the Boston, Con-
cord and Montreal, Passumpsic,
and White Mountain Railroads, is
the young, but growing village
of Woodsville, which bids fail* to
rival the older villages in point
of business. It is connected with
the thriving village of Wells
River, in Newbury, Vermont, by a
substantial bridge across the Con-
necticut. One of the most roman-
tic views on the Connecticut, is
obtained at this point, and it is
worthy of a visit from any lover
of beautiful, and romantic scenery.
