KILKENNY.

Coos County. Since the last
gazetteer of New-Hampshire was
issued, but little if any change has
oceured in this town. It is a rough,
rocky, and cold township. Along
the southern border of the town is a
narrow strip of land which is quite
productive and easily cultivated.

Mountains. Pilot and Willard’s
mountain include a large portion
of this territory; they receive the
name of Pilot and Willard’s moun-
tain from a fact that a hunter
named Willard, was once lost on
this mountain, while out hunting
with his dog. On the east side of
the mountain was his camp; each
day he noticed the dog left him, as
he supposed in pursuit of game,
but towards night he would return.
At last he resolved to follow him;
and, on the following day, he set
out with the dog; and after three
days of hunger and fatigue, was
brought back to his camp by bis
faithful guide aud companion.

Rockingham County. The

the largest of which is Great Pond,
which covers about three hundred
acres. All the ponds have an
