| REMARKS: There are no local causes for disease in this county, either to man or beast. The abundance of fresh running water, good gently undulating, rich and fertile lands, together with the altitude of the country, renders it exceedingly healthy. The atmosphere is fresh and bracing, and we are free from the distressing living and continuous hot days and nights experienced in more southerly latitudes. In winter we have no rain but snows which do not go off and leave as mud, but remain until spring, when with its departure come the feathered tribe of birds, with their many songs. E. H. There has been no stone, neither stone coal found here ????[Undecipherable] |
