ARENSBERG, one of the circles into which the government of the same name is divided. It contains 32,352 inhabitants, in six cities, 12 towns, and 105 villages. In the northern part it is mountainous and woody; the rest of the circle has a loamy but stony soil, which produces rye, potatoes, and flax. It has little trade except in wood and wood-wares; but the females occupy themselves in spinning.
