laid by that of Rivifere du Loup, which from 

 being a prior concession to this one, and the 

 term of the grant expressing half a league on 

 each side of the river, leaves but a small irre- 

 gular frontage on the lake for Grand Pre. This 

 tract, in the quality of the land and species of 

 the timber, strongly resembles that of Rivifere 

 du Loup, but is not near so well settled as that 

 property, although there is every probability of 

 its becoming, in a few years, an estate of con- 

 siderable value. 



Gros Bo is or Yamachiche (the seigniory 

 of), in the county of St. Maurice, on the north 

 side of Lake St. Peter, between Grand Pre 

 and Gatineaii, is bounded in the rear by Fief 

 Dumontier; it is a league and a half in front 

 by two leagues in depth ; was granted Nov. 3, 

 1672, to Sieur Boucher, and is now the pro- 

 perty of Louis Gugy, Esq. It is rather low 

 towards the front, but retiring from the lake 

 there are some few rising grounds. The soils 

 and different kinds of timber upon it are very 

 similar to the two last mentioned grants. The 

 Riviere du Loup and the Grande and Petite 

 Riviferes Machiche water it, over which, where 

 they are intersected by the main roads, bridges, 

 substantially built of timber, that have a light 

 and pleasing appearance, have been erected. 

 About three-fourths of the grant are conceded ;
