AT e
Sale of Penobfcot Land,
PUBLIC notice is hereby
given, That, conformable to a Resolve
of the General Court of the 22d of Februa
ry last, on WEDNESDAY the 13th day of
June next, at Boflon, inthe Roprefentatives®
Chamber of the Old State House, at 3¢
o’clock, A. M. will commence the Sale, at
Pablic Auftion, (and from that time will
be continued at the dilcretion of the fub
feriber,) of NINE TOWNSHIPS OF
LAND belonging to the Commonwealth ;
EIGHT of which are bounded on the East
and-Weft sides of Penobfcot River, and
run back fix miles from said River,
these commence ‘at Nicholas’ rock, near the
head of the tide, and extend up said River,
according to the general course thereof, a
bout thirty miles: The other Townhip is
on the Welt fide of the River, adjoining
the aforefaid, and at about the distance of
fix miles from the said River. The whole
tratt contains 189,426 acres ; and the seve
ral Townthips are (übdivided into quarters
by attoal survey ; each quarter fronting one
mile and a half on said Penobfcot River,
and extending back from said River about
fix miles, varying in some degree in their
several quantities, by reason of the variation
of the course of said River.
It is unneceflary to observe much
upon the situation and advantages of this
Land ; but one circamftance is important
to remind all persons of, who wish to be
come adventurers in that country, that is,
this will be the last opportunity to purchase
Land of the Government {fo well connefted
with Navigation. These Townthips con
sist principally of foil thatis of a good quali
ty, and well calculated to afford a liberal re
ward to the Cultivator, by the growth of
most kinds of grain, vegetables, and grals ;
and most of them have flreams of water
running through them into the great River
Penobicot, from " different sources ; and
either on these fireams or otherways, all
the Townships have extecfive Trafts of
Meadow-Bottom, and great quantities of
Hay can now be cut from many of them,
and Forage is annually taken from these
Lands for the support of very large stocks
of Cattle, and much more might be had
from them ; Which advantages, combined
with those of the Salmon and other Fisheries
on the margin of each of the quarters of the
- eight Townthips, will place the firft settlers
- on those Lands in circumstances to avoid
those difficulties to obtain comfortable sub.
fiftence which are common to most new
Countries, and will enable individuals of
very {mall property immediately to engage
in the advantageous operations of business,
for which the situation, quality, and growth
of these Lands are so well calculated. As
all the Townships have good mill feats,
either on the great River or some of its
branches, and are generally well covered
with a great variety of the best of Timber
suitable to build ships of any size, with ma
terials of almost any kind commonly used
in this country, not excepting the white cak,
and affording masts of any size, from a firft
rate dowpwards ; common Pines for Boards,
and Cord Wood for market, beyond the
power of enumeration; which circumflances,
added to that of navigable accommodation
for large vellels from the head of the tide,
cannot fail to attra&t the attention of all
men of enterprize ; for whose accommoda
tion these Lands will be fold in quarters of
Townthips only, and none will be put up
at a less rate than one dollar per acre, and
fold, fubjeét to the reservation of ome /fun
dred acrestimreach quarter of a Townthip
for Schools, fifty acres for the firft fettled
Minilter, and one kundred acres for the
Ministry, equal to the average value of said
quarter, and allo one hundred acres for each
of the thirty-two settlers who fettled on said
Land before August, A. D, 1796, so as
best to include their improvements ; All of
which settlers are on the two Townships
next to the head of the tide.
. The terms of Sale will be as follows,
viz. twenty. per centum of the amount of
each purchale to be paid in money to the
Trcalglrcr of the Commonwealth, and the 1
residue in four annual inﬁalm?ts,‘ with
interest, to be paid annually, an security -
given therefor to the Trealurer aforefaid,
to the acceptance of the Governor and
Council, in all cases, before any Deeds will
be given of the Lands. ,The Sdrveyor’s
