" Here are two streams which meet and run under the road, the one flowing from the east along the road-side, enters the ground twenty-five or thirty feet east of where it seems to cross the road ; the stream from the north-east, appears to run nearly straight, directly under the road, and issues from the earth again, after falling ten or fifteen feet lower than where it enters ; but the place where it issues from the earth, is, at least, twenty-five feet perpendicular, the top of which precipice is within ten or fifteen feet from the side of the road. The two streams, although they enter the ground so far from each other, unite under ground and come up together." The question how these effects are to be accounted for, is a matter we leave to abler philosophers than ourselves to determine. " Crow Hill," so named after one of the Indian Sagamores, who sold land bordering on Wepack, or Long Pond, to the proprietors of Ridgefield in 1729, lies half a mile to the north-east of the Natural Bridge. There is a lofty hill in the southern part of the town, bordering the Bedford Road, called "Turkey Hill," on account of the great number of wild turkeys that once frequented it.

THE TOWN OF NORTH SALEM.

The surface of North Salem is in part covered with lofty hills ; the soil, various, but chiefly composed of a gravelly and clay loam, well adapted to grass and summer crops. The course of the Mutighticoos River, through the centre of this town is marked by beautiful mountain scenery, and rich tracts of meadow land, which skirt the margin of the stream.
