"Ou the Grampian bills iny father feeds his 

 flocks." 



The Statistics of Caledonia County, Vermont, 

 have been forwarded by oiu' inihifiiiifiable and en- 

 terprising correspondent, Henrv Stevens, Esq. 

 of Barnet. The six fnc-^t coUiinns he has pro- 

 cured from the Grand Li^t t(d<en on the first day 

 of June last returned to the General Assembly of 

 that State at its late session. The other columns 

 were furnished him by the two deputy marshals 

 who took the census of tlie towns lijr the goV' 

 ernnient of the United States. 



It will hardly be expected that in a publication 

 like the Monthly Visitor we should be jible to 

 present as particular statements relative to all the 

 counties of the United States as we now do of 

 Caledonia county. We have partioidar reasons 

 for selecting Caledonia county. One of these 

 reasons is that it is situated in a mountain region, 

 where the face of the country is marked by pre- 

 cipitous hills and vallies, almost in the very 

 northern extremity of the United States. We 

 will bo very glad to take the very best agricul- 

 tural comity of New England, the county of 

 Worcester in Massachusetts, or Hartford in Con- 

 necticut, or Kennebeck in Maine, or old Chesh- 

 ire in New Hampshire, all of which have been 

 longer settled and longer improved than the 

 county of Caledonia, if similar statistical state- 

 ments can be furnished, and see whether there 

 is any district of the same number of improved 

 acres more productive than this north county of 

 one of the most northerly States. Our corres- 

 pondent says, "Iftliere is a county in New Eng- 

 iaud, when you take into consideration the num- 

 ber of inhabitants, minilierof acres of improved 

 land, number of houses and apjiraised value of 

 each, where there is more production than in 

 Caledonia, I shall be glad to be infornied where 

 that county is situated." It will be jierceived in 

 this county that there are almost as many oxen 

 as there aie rateable polls, and more than half as 

 many cows as there are human souls ; that there 

 is more than one horse for every (bur persons ; 

 that some towns have double the number of neat 

 cattle to the whole number of people ; that tliere 

 is nearly five sheep for every inhabitant through- 

 out llie county, and that these .slieep average a 

 production of two pounds of wool each ; that 

 the .swine raised are neaiiy as numerous as the 

 (leople ; that for each inclividiud there is raised 

 two and a half bushels of wheat, and ten times 

 the same number of bhshels oats. Morethaiia mill- 

 ion bushels of potatoes are raised in a year in 

 this little county; and the i emarkable fact is exhib- 

 ited that for each person in the county thirty one 

 pounds of maple sugar are annually manufactur- 

 ed, being pi-obably three times as much as all the 

 sugar consumed in the county. The jiroduct of 

 the dairy in this beautifid county of mountain 

 hill and valley, is equal to ten dollars a year for 

 each individual ; and the house-hold manufac- 

 tured goods equal four dollars to each person. It 

 is hardly less common to see the spinning 

 wheel and loom in Caledonia county now than it 

 was in the southern parts ol' New Hampshire and 

 the interior of Massachusetts forty years ago. 

 How much better then tlie comfortable woolen 

 gowns of women, than the slazy cotton cal- 

 icoes or evanescent moitstin de Icmies brought from 

 mother Britain to make jiayment instead of cash 

 for State stocks bought Up by the Jews of 

 Threadueedle street? Let it also be remember- 

 ed that Caledonia presents three tons of bay for 

 every person with in its limits ; and, if tlie old 

 fashioned seasons shall return, we venture to pre- 

 dict that her 52,350 bushels tif Indian corn will 

 be increased ten fold in ten years. 



Is there any region of the United States which 

 in iiroportion to its numbers can produce more 

 substantial results than Caledonia County? Is there 

 a people in any country tliat can present better 

 evidences of industry and enterprise .' Is there 

 any spot, more inviting, \\ here all the comforts of 

 life are better enjoyed, tlKiii they are here ? The 

 people who first settled there "put their liands 

 to the plough w ithout looking back" : they soon 

 found the rewards of their industiT ; and the 

 present generation has not yet become so refined 

 as to avoid the examples of their parents. To 

 show what is the passion of the aged as well a9 

 the young of the county which inlierits the name 

 identifieci with hardy ])atriotisni and slifT morali- 

 ty, we mention the case of a venerable matron, 

 a native of Concord who settled in the county
