NEW-LONDOIV.

Merrimack County. The
principal settlements of this town
are formed on three large swells
of land. The soil is deep and
good. In some portions of the
town, the land is rocky, but
there is very little not capable of
cultivation. There are many fine
farms which clearly show they are
cultivated by practical farmers.

Ponds and Streams. Sunapee
Lake separates New-London from
the town of Sunapee. Little Sun-
apee Pond, one and one-half miles
in length, and three-fourths of a
mile in width, lies in the west
part, and empties into Sunapee
Lake. Near the centre of the
town, are Harvey’s and Messer’s
Ponds, which are the principal
sources of Warner River. Pleas-
ant Pond, in the north part, is
nearly two miles long and one
wide. There are some elevations
in this section of the town, but
they can hardly be considered
mountains. The elevated location
of the town, together with its lake
and ponds, afford some very de-
lightful and attractive scenery,
which has caused many tourists to
visit here, through the summer
months. One of the most flour-
ishing institutions of learning in
the State, is located here.
