alls of the Schoodick.

St. Davids has likewise some good saw-mills. It also furnishes masts,
and squared timber for shipping. The land in this Parish is of an
excellent quality, and produces wheat, oats, Indian corn, potatoes, &c.
in great abundance.

The Parishes of St. Patricks, St. George, and Pennfield, have each a
number of saw-mills, and furnish large quantities of sawed lumber of
the best quality--the country being well stocked with excellent pine.
Considerable quantities of scale fish are also caught and cured here.
Great improvements are likewise making in Agriculture in these
Parishes, particularly in Pennfield, which produces wheat in great
perfection. The settlers in this Parish are good farmers, and are
making great improvements.

The Parishes of Campobello and Deer Island comprehend the Islands so
called. Campobello includes the Islands on the south east side of
Passamaquoddy river. It contains several thousand acres of land fit for
cultivation. Many of the inhabitants are employed in the fishery along
the shores. Great quantities of cod and other fish are taken about the
Island, and sold uncured to the Americans. Formerly most of the gypsum
exported from this Province was landed on this Island where it was
shipped on board American vessels for Philadelphia and New-York.

Grand-Manan is likewise a considerable place for fishing,
Ship-building, &c. and is of considerable importance in a nautical
point of view, as it lies near the entrance of the Bay of Fundy. It is
fourteen miles long and seven miles broad. The Northernmost point is in
latitude 44 deg. 54' longitude 66 deg. 45' west.

The rivers Maggagaudavick and Digdaguash, lie in this county, and are
of the utmost advantage in transporting the lumber from the interior.
On each of these streams mills are erected. The Maggagaudavick runs a
great distance into the country, and communicates with a chain of
lakes, down which lumber is floated from a great distance. There are
several falls in the Maggagaudavick--those near the mouth are nearly
forty feet.

Several Islands lying in Passamaquoddy Bay are within the limits of
this county. Some of them are of considerable importance, on account of
the fishery, and as affording harbors for shipping.
