counterpart of St. Michel; the species and 

 quality of the soil, and the varieties of the tim- 

 ber differ only in a very slight degree; but 

 the bank of the river is much lower, and the 

 rear part somewhat broken and rugged. The 

 greater part of the land is in an excellent state 

 of culture ; it is divided into about one hundred 

 and eighty or one hundred and ninety lots, the 

 best and most flourishing of which are situated 

 on the St. Lawrence, and along both banks of 

 the Riviere du Sud ; these, with the Belle 

 Chasse and Boyer, and a few small streams, 

 water it very well : each of the rivers have 

 bridges over them. The church of St. Vallier 

 is pleasantly situated close to the St. Lawrence ; 

 the parsonage and a few other houses surround 

 it ; at a short distance to the eastward of it is 

 the telegraph No. 4. This grant is intersected 

 by numerous roads, in addition to the main 

 one by the river, all of which, as well as the 

 bridges, are well kept up; it has two grist- 

 mills and several saw-mills. The augmentation 

 is cultivated only to a very trifling extent ; the 

 surface of it is irregular, and in the rear quite 

 mountainous, but it produces very fine timber 

 almost of every description.
