[Robert Bolton, Jr. (1848)] Daniel Delavan, Pounder. William Rogers, Constable. Solomon Close, Collector. The surface of North Salem is in part covered with lofty hills; the soil, various, but chiefly composed of " a gravelly and clay loam, well adapted to grass and summer crops.''^ The course of the Mulighticoos river, through the centre of this town is marked by beautiful mountain scenery, and rich tracts of meadow land, which skirt the margin of the stream. The Mutighticoos emp-ties into the Croton a little south of Dean's bridge. In the north-east corner of the town lies Peach pond, a large sheet of water covering over four hundred acres of ground. At no great dis-tance from it is situated Beaver pond. The village of North Salem occupies a beautiful position on the north bank of the Mutighticoos, commanding a fine view of the valley and surrounding mountains. It contains about 200 inhabitants, thirty-five dwellings, one Episcopal, one Presbyterian, one Methodist and one Universalist church, two taverns, three stores, one paper mill, one grist mill, and one clothiers' works. A little east of the village stands the North Salem academy.
