Description of City/Town
At the village near the centre of town are lumber-mills and a grist-mill. Doughty Hill is the highest elevation of land. Much of the surface is low and stony, and has never been cleared, but perhaps half the area is a light, loamy soil, of an excellent quality for the crops raised—hay, oats, wheat and potatoes. The principal business is slate mining, in which four or more companies are engaged.
