PLAN OF SETTLEMENT.
The United States and Canadian Emigration Society, under a
Deed of Trust with the owner, has acquired 153,400 acres of Land
in Hopkins county, Eastern Texas, latitude 33 deg. north, longitude
95 deg. 96 min., of which district the county-town is named Tarrant.
It is proposed, in conformity to the plan of the Association, and
after reserving not exceeding one-fourth, to divide this Tract into
1,910 lots, of 80 acres each, and to locate thereon 1,910 families.
With a view to an equitable distribution of the soil, each allotment
to consist of about two-thirds Prole or lightly-timbered Park-like
pasture-land, not requiring to be cleared for immediate cultivation,
and one-third of contiguously situated timbered land, on the streams
and head-waters of the Sabine and Sulphur fork of Red Rivers,
which flow through this Tract.
Each purchaser of one lot to be also entitled to a Town-lot of one
fourth of an acre in extent, the site of which is marked on the survey
deposited in the Office of the Association.
The allotments are so arranged as to be as nearly as possible of
equal value, so that priority of choice will become unnecessary.
The;purchaser will have his location assigned to him in the follow-
ing manner. viz.:—
The Tract is divided into mile-square sections, designated by
numbers.
The Society reserves not to exceed one-fourth. Each section is
divided into lots, numbered from one to eight, subdivided for assort-
ment in such a manner that as each purchaser will know, on his
arrival on the spot, the exact location that he has purchased, no mis-
understanding can arise ; the Surveyor of the Association will have
the absolute power to decide on all questions of boundary. On a day
hereafter to be named, and of which due notice will be given before
the sailing of the Emigrant, a drawing of allotments will take place.
The names of purchasers will be put into one box, and the numbers
of the lots in another : these numbers will correspond with two
numbers on the survey, representing two-thirds, and one•tkird as
before mentioned, and these numbers when so drawn will constitute
his purchase.
[lt is the intention of the Society to deviate from the proposed
mode of allotment in favour of the first 200 Emigrant families, to
whom will be given a priority of choice in those surrounding the
town site.]
A Certificate of Title in accordance with the numbers drawn will
be delivered to the Emigrant, by which the Association binds itself
to give him possession of the lot drawn on his arrival in Texas.
The sum paid by the purchaser of each lot will include,
First.—A free passage from the port of embarkation to the place of
settlement, with rations during the water passage and land join,
ney, from New Orleans to the town of Tarrant.
Secondly.—Six months' provisions from the time of his arrival there.
Thirdly.—Two bullocks, one cow, and calf, and two pigs.
Fourthly.—lmplements of husbandry and seeds, viz.: a plough and
gears, a log chain and ox-yoke, a set of harrow-teeth, ten lbs.
nails, a hammer, an axe, a spade, a hoe, a grabbing•hoe, a saw,
two augurs, two chisels, a Jackplane, a scythe, a rake, and a
pitchfork, with seeds for the first year's planting.
Fifthly.—A log-house, eighteen met square ny ten feet in height, in
the erection of which the Emigrant will have to assist.
A detailed Statement and Schedule of the articles and necessaries
provided by the Society, for the use of the Emigrant, will be deli-
vered to him with the Certificate of Title, on the payment of the
snm specified, in fulfilment of his contract with the Society.
Thus the payment
.of such sum as, according to the following
estimate, will suit the circumstances of each, will entitle the indi-
vidual or family, as the case may be, to the necesssary articles of
subsistence, stock, and materials, for effecting their settlement on the
eighty acres of land, of which they have required the Fee-simple
and obtained possession. Emigrants may secure a larger allotment
at the cost of five shillings per acre.

ing, utensils, and stores for the passage; the ship finding three
quarts of water, and one pound of bread-stuffs, per day, with ten
pounds of pork, for the voyage to each passenger ; or in case the
