In Vermont, peat is abundant, as
the geological survey of Professor
Hitchcock and IIager have fully
demonstrated. They say there is
not town in the State that has not
a supply Of peat stored up for future
use. The Rev. :. II. Hall has also
devoted much attention to the de
Velopment Of this important truth.
If not now important, it is sure to
be III few years more: the denSely
wooded portions of the State have
been so completely stripped of for
est, that timber and even fuel is now
IN expensive article. Peat is Yer.
mont is not confined to lowlands and
valleys of streams. Mr.. Hall names
some of the highest towns in the
State where ii is found and all the
railroads cross beds of it, which
would furnish them with far cheap
or fuel than wood or coal. Some OF
these deposits are SO old and deer
that fossil elephants have been found
buried several feet below the pres
cnt surface.
On the summit of Mansfield noun

an elevation of l3lS feet above tide
there are beds of peat and sphagnou,
