(District of Maine.) A French Settlement near Canada, 40 miles on the River, about 200 miles from any Town in Maine, from which there is no way to "Matawasca" but from "St. John's" in New Brunswick, up the River St. John's, a way very circuitous. The French have supposed they were in Canada. It is probable the county line (when run) dividing the counties of Penobscot and Washington, will divide this settlement. This line, I am informed, was never made or run. Appendix. Census of the U.S. for 1820. Census of 1820.-Aggregate Amount of each description of Persons in the County of Washington. FREE WHITE MALES.

JOHN BELL, Governor of the State of New Hampshire. (L.S.) JOHN BELL. Know ye that Richard Bartlett, whose official certificate is In testimony whereof, I have caused the Seal of the State to be hereunto affixed. Given under my hand, at Concord, the twenty-fourth day of June, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and twenty-eight, and in the fifty-second year of the Independence of the United States of America. (L.S.) In the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and eighty-nine. An act for a grant of land, equal to eight miles square, in the northerly and unlocated Territory within this State, to the Trustees of Dartmouth College. Whereas the advancement of useful knowledge is of importance to the prosperity of this State, and as the establishment of Dartmouth College has been, and probably will in future time be essentially conducive to that purpose; and whereas this legislature, agreeably to the spirit of the constitution and also their own reflections, conceive that it will be of real advantage to mankind in general, and this state in particular, to give their countenance and friendly aid to that useful seminary. Therefore: Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened, that a tract of land equal in quantity to eight miles square be granted to the Trustees of Dartmouth College, their successors and assigns, for the use and benefit of said College for ever; and it shall be the duty of the SurveyorGeneral (who shall be hereafter by us appointed) to locate and survey, so soon as may be, the said tract of land in one parcel or body in the northerly part of this State, bounded on Connecticut River and Stewart Town, and as nearly in a square of eight miles as may be, to the approbation of the said Trustees; provided the said location shall not interfere with any tract of land which has been heretofore granted and chartered by the Government of New Hampshire. And the President of the said State, for the time being, is hereby empowered and directed to give, with advice of Council, a charter of said land, under the Seal of this State, when located and surveyed as aforesaid, to the Trustees of Dartmouth College, their successors and assigns for ever, the same to be always free and exempt from all public taxes. And be it further enacted, that the President and Council of the State, for the time being, shall be, and they are hereby incorporated with the Trustees of said College, so far as that they shall have a right to act with them as one Board, in regard to the expenditures and applications of this grant, and of all others which have been, or may hereafter be, made by New Hampshire. In the House of Representatives, February 5th, 1789.-The foregoing Bill having been read a third time, voted that it pass to be enacted. Sent up for concurrence. THOS. BARTLETT, Speaker. Appendix. Grant of Land to Dartmouth College. |
