W ESTXORELMD,

Cheshire County. Westmore-
land is considered one of the best
farming towns in the State. Tho
surface is less varied by hills, val-
leys and mountains, than that of
the neighboring towns. On the

fine interval farms. The soil of
the uplands is good, and easily
cultivated.

watered by small streams which
empty into the Connecticut. The
one which rises in Spafford Lake,
in Chesterfield, affords some of the
best water privileges, in town.
