parsonage-house, and the telegraph station 

 No. 6. Several roads by the St. Lawrence, 

 and on the side of the Bras, communicate 

 with the adjoining seigniories. The augmenta- 

 tion is neither remarkable for the goodness of 

 its soil nor quality of the timber ; it is moun- 

 tainous, and wholly uncultivated. 



BoNSEcouRS (the seigniory of), in the 

 county of Devon, fronts the St. Lawrence, and 

 is bounded on the north-east by Islet, on the 

 south-west by Vincelot and its augmentation, 

 and by waste lands in the rear; one league 

 and a half in front by two in depth; was 

 granted July 1, IGJJ, to Sieur Franpois de Bell- 

 anger. This seigniory differs but little from 

 the preceding one, as far as respects the nature 

 of the soil, and timber growing thereon ; about 

 one half of it may be estimated under culti- 

 vation, and is very well inhabited ; the system 

 of agriculture is good, and well adapted to the 

 land, which towards the river lies low, with 

 the exception of a trifling ridge that runs nearly 

 from one side to the other, but in the rear it is 

 rough and mountainous. Some good timber, 

 particularly pine, is produced in the back 

 part of the grant. It is principally watered by 

 the Bras St. Nicholas, the other streams being 

 very insignificant.
