Grand Niagara, sometimes called Manchester, is a small 

 village on the east bank of the Niagara river, immediately above 

 the falls, and nearly opposite to Chippeway. It was laid out for 

 a town a few years ago, and contains a number of dwelling- 

 houses, a grist-mill, a saw-mill, and several mills and machinery 

 are projected. The water is brought out of the river above the 

 rapids, and as the source is inexhaustible and the fall above fifty 

 feet, mills and machinery to a very great extent can be erected 

 here, and this will probably become a very large settlement.
