Windsor Co. The principal stream in this township is Black River, which is formed here, and runs south-easterly into Ludlow. On this stream are several good mill sites, and a number of natural ponds, which abound in fish. Two considerable branches of Quechee River also rise in this town. A large share of the rocks are primitive limestone, which makes the best of lime. Not less than 2,000 hogsheads are annually manufactured, and transported to different parts of the country. Some of the limestone makes excellent mar ble : and in 1834 a factory, where 150 saws can be put in operation, was erected on Black River for its manufacture. Some of the marble is white, and some beautifully variegated.
The surface of Plymouth is considerably broken. Two mountains extend through it, parallel to the river, and at no great distance from it. That on the north-eastern side is very abrupt, and is known by the name of Mount Tom. Near the meeting-house is an extensive bed of steatite, or...
