The French Grant and Settlement.

Trenton is about 10 be made into two
towns. and what is now the East part
Of the town is to take the name of Lem
DIN. We turn to a relict Of an old book
on our shelf and fiud the following
which may interest our readers:-
Lewis XIV. issued his grant to NJ.
Cadillac for a large tract Of land living
on Frenchman's Bay in Acadia, with 4
large island opposite to it within the
government of New France. 1t il not
certain, whether this grant was made
by the king Immediately, or whether it
was carved out of the grant to DE Motto,
BY that governor to NJ. Cadillac.
When DE Motto first came TO Ameri-
ca, thers came one Nicholas D'Aubri. a
French Ecclesiastic Of very good fami-
ly connections. Nicholas went on shore
upon the west side Of the bay Of Fpndy
which Ut that time had no name appro-
prlated to It. but was considered Is be-
longing to the waters Of Acadia. Curl.
Osity, which had brought him from Eu.
rope, led him into the woods; and the
boat from which he bad landed left him
to his fate.
His account of his suAerinxs vas No
doubt very pitiful; tor he remained
three weeks in the wilderness. wander

terrible apprehensions, until the boat

him on the shore, and restored him to

dent the waters Of the whole bsy of
Fundy were called Frepchmau's Raw.
Ellsworth American. [volume] (Ellsworth, Me.) 1855-current, 1870-02-03

The bay has u great many islands. and
In order to know which island was
granted TO Cadillac, il Is necessary TO
ascertain the main land which was
granted opposite to it; aud in order to
find the main land granted. 1t is ncccss-
AIRY to find the island.
1t is said the heirs Of Cadillac, have
made several unsuccessful attempts to
reclaim this grant, against the British
government. on the east side Of the BAY,
where very probably IL was originally
intended to be. The inner part Of the
waters called Frenchman's Bay, finally
gained the appellation OF the Bay Of
Fundy, and the ancient appcllation be-
came appropriated TO the western side
Of the waters, and near TO Mount Desert.
Madame DE Gregoire. who proved her
self to be descendant Of Cadillac, APP
peared in Massachusetts,, in the year
1885; and exhibited her claim to the
Island of Mt. Desert. and to large
tract Of land over against it, ~ lying In
and on the waters of Frenchman's Bay.
The feelings of the general assembly of
Massachusetts,, towards the French ma
ton. were such rs to prevent a nice
scrutiny: and in 1856 she was confirm
ed in great proportion Of her claim.
There were. ancientlv. many French
settlements on that part OF the bay.
which is opposite 10 the baaks of Mount
Desert. rs well A. on the island itself.
The right, arising from discovery,
seemed Ia have been abandoned very
early. and that arising from prc-occu-.
pancv was much relied on among the
people on both sides. But in subsc-
quent treaties. the right Of prior discov-
cry and priority of grants. were con-
tended for between the Sovercigns.

The Railroad.

II cannot make much difference with
the travel from the East whether the
route from Ellsworth goes by the way
of Bucksport or follows what is termed
the direct course. Something can be
said in favor of each route, but to-day,
Ellsworth people and Buck,port peo-
pie, a majority of them favor the Bucks
port route. II the road should be il
rect there will be nothing to feed the
line until il reaches Dedham or Holden.
after leaving Ellsworth Falls. There
are no towns, norintcrested and wealthy
citizens on the line for dozen miles 10
assist the road in any way. Therefore
Ellsworth must build It alone or BY the
assistance of ontside parties. Ellsworth
is not able, nor is it willing to build il,
and where is the help coming from:
Bangor is pledged 10 the Aroo-took road
first. and she is heavily in deb, already
for railroad assistance to roads now In
operation. Whatever few Of her citi-
zens NAV desire. il is Idle to think that
we may expect aid in that direction for
sometime. Bucksport will aid in build
ing a road from Ellsworth 10 that an
cient town. and will DO it freely and at
once. This will be one link in the
chain, and important As the first one
made. fact accomplished. When
once built to Bucksport, that it ,riH 90
through Ia Bangor. no one disputes.
Then travellers from the East will have
a choice Of routes. They can take the
boat to Belfast and thence by rail 10 the
Maine Central at Burnham, or 60 down
still farther to Rockland and thence by
rail to Portland or Boston. Or 20 up
river to Bangor by rail or boat.
In answer 10 the Machias Union. we
say that Ellsworth and Bucksport will
lend all the assistance they can 10 aid q
road clear through to -Mdchias; and the
men who are laboring to make a begun
ming, mean to do all they can, and new
err cease working until We have a
through road. This is what they are
after, but they must make beginning.
and that beginning must he in the direc-
ton where assistance can be hal to aid
it. Bucksport steps forth promptly and
generously says We will assist 10 build
the section from Ellsworth TO Bucks
port first. This section will develope
business from the first, and will benefit
quite a number of towns in the county.
