May 5, 1 UI. 24 3w OTS FOR S ALB IX THE TOli .V OF CLINTON THE Undersigned respectfully inform their friends and the public, tliat they haw hud out anew tow n on the western bank, of the Wabash) to or 11 miles a bove FortHarrison, and 1 3 or 14 above Torre Haute, and intend offering their lots for sale at Public Auction on the first day of September next. 1 he scite ot this town may be classed with those of the most beautiful on the banks of the Wabash, (and somewhat resembles that ot Fort-Harrison,) rising gradually from the river, for about 15 J yards, to the height ot from 40 to 50 feet above high watermark, and is terminated with a horizontal plain of half a mile in width. No town on the Wabash can boast of a more delightful iew of the rivei a better landing and harbour for boats both in time of ice, and at every stage of w ater. The adjacent country is very fertile has every appearance of being healthy, and abounds w ith streams of excellent water; some of them afford good mill scites, on which it is expected one or two mills will be erected the present season Stone of several kinds ha c bee tl found it! the adjacent hills; the most common are granite, lime, and freestone. Iron ore, and Stone Coale, has also been discovered ; the latter in great abundance, but has not as yet been much sought after. The settlement in the vicinity of this place is yet in its infantry, owing ina great measure to the want of Mills and some little disturbances with the Indians, since the termination of the war. It is however increasing very fast and soon will be abie to surmount these difficulties, and should the emigration to this country be equal to what is anticipated this part of the country will soon become very populous There is no other scite for a town on the western bank of the Wabash from the boundary line to near the center of the eleventh tow nship a space of about 30 miles ; this circumstance together with the fertility of the soil for a great distance, wcstwa'rdly of the river ; and the prospect of a populous settlement, render this place an ohjert worthy the attention of those who may wish to become purchasers of town property. A few lots are set apart bv the proprietors, and arc intended to he given as donations to individuals who may wish to become actual settlers previoustothe day of sale. Those Merchant . or Mechanicks, who may w ish to avail themselves of this advantage, are refered to Mr. Truman Blackmail, re siding in Fort-Harrison prairie, who is authorised to enter into contracts to the mutual interest of the parties Terms of sale to be published hereafter.
