Auckland on the south, and Bury to the north- 

 ward. Although the land in many parts of 

 this tract is uneven, the genera! tendency of the 

 soil is good. Beech, maple, and birch, spruce, 

 basswood, and fir, are the prevalent sorts of 

 timber. A great number of rivulets descend- 

 ing into the St. Francis water it in almost 

 every direction. About one-half of it has been 

 granted ; and on the south-west quarter some 

 progress has been made in cultivation, where 

 the land is found very productive in most spe- 

 cies of grain, and congenial to the growth both 

 of hemp and flax. Several roads passing to 

 the adjacent settlements intersect it, as does 

 the intended new one from Craig's Road. The 

 inhabitants amount to about 160. 



DiTToisr, in the county of Buckingham, is 

 bounded by Newport on the west, Marston 

 and Chesham on the east, Hampden on the 

 iiorth, and Emberton on the south. The sur- 

 face of this township is irregular, in several 

 places rising into large eminences ; but yet, in 

 general, of a moderately good soil, timbered 

 with beech, birch, basswood, and maple. It 

 is intersected by some large streams that fall 

 into the St. Francis. The south-w^t quarter 

 has been surveyed and granted, but no part 

 thereof settled upon.
