SPRINGS OF VERMONT. 139 





SPRINGS OF VERMONT. 



IN this State there are sulphureous springs within a few 

 miles of St. Alban's Bay, called "HIGHGATE SPRINGS." East 

 of Montpelier is the "NEWBURG SULPHUREOUS SPRING." 

 The water of this spring is impregnated with sulphuretted 

 hydrogen gas. 



ALBURGH SPRINGS are of the same character. 



Professor Hitchcock describes a spring called the " BEN- 

 NINGTON THERMAL SPRING," containing nitrogen and oxy- 

 gen gases (/ / /) 



"CLARENDON GASEOUS SPRINGS" give slightly acidulous 

 waters. Dr. Hayes's analysis shows the presence of nitrogen, 

 carbonic acid, and atmospheric air. 



MASSACHUSETTS MINERAL WATERS. 



OF these waters not much has yet reached the world at large. 

 This is the more surprising, as the progressive Yankee State 

 is given to finding things out; but on this subject we have 

 very little, even under the overshadowing formula of the in- 

 finite GUESS, of that peculiarly sharp and wide-awake people. 

 As recorded, it stands thus : BERKSHIRE SODA SPRINGS 

 are acidulous, containing carbonic acid, soda, chlorine, and 

 alumina. Location near Great Barrington, Berkshire County, 

 said to be in a region attractive for more than its water 

 and air.
