The church and parsonage-house are situated 

 close to the St. Lawrence, by which the main 

 road passes ; there are also several other roads 

 to the adjacent grants on each side. At the 

 mouth of Riviere des Trois Saumons the va- 

 luable mills and distillery belonging to Mr. 

 Harrower are very eligibly placed : the latter 

 is an establishment of considerable magnitude, 

 with every convenience for carrying on an ex- 

 tensive business ; at high water decked vessels 

 of twenty tons may come up to the premises. 

 Over the river there is a good bridge. The 

 beach at the discharge of Riviere des Trois 

 Saumons is flat, and thickly covered by de- 

 tached rocks that run a good way out. From 

 the St. Lawrence the view of the mills and 

 surrounding objects, heightened by the pleasing 

 natural scenery of the environs, is very agree- 

 able. 



Reaume (fief) is a small strip of land, be- 

 tween St. Jean Port Joli and St. Roch des 

 Annais, half a league broad by two leagues 

 deep; was granted March l6th, 1677, to De- 

 moiselle de la Combe. In this property the 

 same species of soil and timber are found as 

 in St. Jean Port Joli; about one-third of it is 

 well cultivated and thickly inhabited. A few 

 trifling rivulets supply a very scanty irrigation.
