a town in a district of the same name Switzerland, adjacent to Neuchatel and Vallen- gin, and united with another named La Ghoux de Fond. But these districts occupy some valleys formed by the mountains of Jura; the greatest part of which not many years ago was one continued forest, though now converted into fine pasture ground filled with flour- ishing villages. The inhabitants are remarkable for their industry, and excel in many mechanical arts, par- ticularly in watch and clock making; 40,000 watches, it is said, are made in a year. The most singular ob- ject at this place, is three subterranean mills, erected on the river Bied, vertically above one another, and 100 feet below the surface of the ground.
