      THE TOWN OF WORTH.
      In many respects worth is one of the peculiar towns of the county, and in connection with its early settlement and civil history were events not common to the region. The town lies on the high, slaty ahd shaly ridges in the extreme southeast part of the county; the surface averages from twelve hundred to sixteen hundred feet above tide water, and is the most elevated land in the county, hence subject to early frosts and deep snows. Where the surface is exposed to the action of running water, deep gulfs have been worn in the soft, yielding rock. Several sulphur springs have been found, but their waters have never been utilized to any great extent. The soil is chiefly derived from the disintegration of underlying rock, and is well adapted to grazing, while oats and potatoes yield abundantly throughout the town. The principal water course is the south branch of Sandy creek, which has numerous tributaries, the larger being Abijah and Chloe creeks. The north branch of Salmon river crosses the southeast corner of the town.

      In the early history of the Boylston and Black river tracts, the territory of what is now Worth was used as compensation lands to make up the difference in area and value of other towns and tracts. In 1795, William Constable, agent for John Johnson Phyn, sold to Nicholas Low, William Henderson, Richard Harrison and Josiah Ogden Hoff. man the Black river tract, then supposed to contain 300,000 acres, but on measurement was found much less in area, whereupon Constable, to make good the difference, conveyed township No. (now substantially Worth) to these proprietors, except 948 acres in the southwest corner, which he reserved to himself. The owners of the eleven towns divided the land among themselves, by ballot, and to make equal any apparent differences in value, Worth was again utilized as
