THE RESOURCES OF HARTFORD.

There is no county in our State that of.
fers greater inducements to capitalists, both
farmers and manufacturers, than Hartford
THE FACE OF THE COUNTRY.
The county is beautifully interspersed
with hill, dale and valley, in the upper
part, while the lower part is comparative
ly level. There are no hills but what can
be cultivated. The greater part of the
county is laid off in beautiful farms, many
of them being under a high state of cult
walton. There are many elegant villas or
dwellings, while the most of the houses are
good The farms are supplied with large
barns and other convenient buildings. The
county is bountifully supplied with fine
running streams of pure water. Mill sites
occur on the larger streams in great num-
bers; many having supply of water suf-
fcient to drive the heaviest machinery.
There is good supply of churches, school
houses, and mills. The land is of good
quality and easily improved. In many
places along the river and bay, in particu-
lar, there are many points from which the
views are wild, romantic, picturesque and
beautiful. The air of our county is pure
and salubrious. The inhabitants are gen
orally very healthy.
