IX THE TOllW OF

CLINTON THE undersigned respectfully inform their friends and the public, that they have laid out anew town on the western bank bf the Wabash 10 or 11 miles aT;nv Fort-Harrison, and 1 3 or 14 above

Tcrrc Haute, and intend offering their lots for sale at Public Auction on the iirst day of September next. The scite of this town may be classed With those of the most beautiful on the banks of the Wabash, (and somewhat resembles that of Fort-Harrison,) rising gradually from tho river, for about 150 yards to the height of from 40 to 50 feet above high -rater mark, and is terminated with a horizontal plain of half a mile in width. No town on the Wabash can boast of a more delightful view of the river, a better landing and harbour for boats both in time of ice, and at every stage of water. The adjacent country is vry fertile has every appearance of bein healthy, and abounds with 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 have been

found in the adjacent hills; the

Common arc granite, lime, and I

Iron ore, and Stone ( oalc, has discovered , the latter in grc

ancc, but has not as yet been much

Sought after. The settlement in the vicinity of this place is yet in its infancy, owing in a great measure to the want of Mills and some little disturbances with the Indians, since the termination ot the war. It is however increasing very fast and soon will be able to surmount these difficulties, and should the emigration to this country be equal to what is anticipated tins 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 township a space of about 30 miles ; this circum-

Btance, together with the fertility of th

soil, for a great distance, westwardly o

the river ; and the prospect of a populous settlement, render this place an object Worthy the attention of those who

may wish to become purchasers of town property. A few lots are set apart by the proprietors, m 1 are intended to be given as donations to individuals who may wish to become actual settlers previous to the day of sale. Those Merchants or Mcchanicks, who may wish to avail themselves of this advantage, arc refered to Mr. Truman Blackmail, residing in Fort Harrison prairie, who is authorised to enter into contracts to the mutual interest of the parties Terms oi sale to be published hereafJoseph Taylor.
