 Sunnyside, Lome, Mitchell, and some others. The native (Loyalist 

 and New England) expansion, which, in the preceding period had filled 

 so much of the best uplands of Carleton, here filled up the lands along 

 Eel Eiver and west of the Nacawic, and especially expanded up the 

 Tobique, which is peopled by an almost pure native population, as fine 

 a people as any country district in America possesses. 



A most important phase of native expansion in this period is that 

 of the Aeadians. In Madawaska they have expanded to the back lands 

 forming CTiambord, Commeau Ridge, Coombes Road, Newfoundland 

 Settlement, Grand River, Quisibis, Plourde, Patrieville, Riceville, Baker 

 Lake, Long Settlement and others in that county. In Westmorland 

 they have consolidated anl extended their old settlements, especially in 

 the vicinity of Cap Pelée, and they have filled up the back lands of 

 Kent in the parishes of St. Mary's and St. Paul's including Trafalgar, 

 Bishop's Land, Louisburg, and other places in that vicinity. They 

 have also settled Adamsville, Acadieville, Rogerville and Collet Settle- 

 ment, all very important settlements, and have expanded along the 

 coast between Kouchibouguac and Cape Sapin, and they are settling 

 Eel River, Fair Isle and St. Joseph. In Gloucester they have expanded 

 to St. Isidore, Pacquetville, Millville, Robertville, and have filled in 

 gaps between other settlements in that region, and on Shippegan and 

 Wliscou, and to some extent they are settling in the new settlements of 

 Eestigouche, especially in Colehrool-e, though these are largely Canadian 

 French from Gaspé. The many Aeadians settling in Campbellton and 

 vicinity are either Canadian French from Gaspé or an expansion of the 

 Acadian settlement at Metapedia formed in 1861 by Aeadians who 

 removed there from Prince Edward Island. ]\Iany of the settlements 

 here mentioned are but thinly occupied, and are still in a state of 

 formation. Furthermore, they are superseding the English-speaking 

 settlers in various parts of the province, taking up the farms of the 

 latter as they remove from the province, and occupying the various 

 vacant lots in sundry English settlements, a process which is going on 

 extensively in Kent particularly, but also in Madawaska and to some 

 extent in Eestigouche. 



Another form of native expansion is that from Nova Scotia to this 

 province, and in this period the settlements of Knowlesville (an asso- 

 ciation from Yarmouth), Kentville and Lumsden were thus formed, 

 while many Nova Scotian settlers have taken up lands in various other 

 new settlements.
