The Public Lauds of Canada are sold by local Crown Land Agents in the several Counties and Districts, to whom applications for purchase by intending settler, should be made. With .ome few exceptions they are sold in Upper Canada for cash at 70 cents an acre, and on time at one dollar an aerc ; and iu Lower Canada at from 20 to 60 cents, one-fifth to be paid at the time of sale, and the remaining four-iilths iu four equal annual instalments, with interest at G per cent, on the unpr '. ■ purchase money. These sales arc n.ade subject to settlement duty, and to current timber licenses for the year. Purchasers of Public Lands not under license, being actual settlers with certain uupro'.ments, can obtain license from the respective Crown Land Agents, or Crown Timber Agents, to cut and dis- pose of the timber growing on the lots purchased by them ; the value ot the timber so cut and disposed of being applied in payment of the purchase money due the Crown. , CROWN TIMBER REGULATIONS. The sale and management of timber on the Public Lands are governed by the Statute, Con. Stats, of Canada, 22 Vic. Cap. 23, and by the Rog- uiations under it, sanctioned by His Excellency the Governor General m Council. Licenses for vacant berths are offered for sale at Public Auction on such dates as the Commissioner of Crown Lands may fix by Public Notice, at an upset price of four dollars a square mile, or other rate as he may fix, and are awarded to the highest bidder making immediate pay- ment. See the Regulations themselves for information as to ground rent, iize of berths, renewals, forleitures, rates i>f duty on Timber, &c. 33 WOOl^S AND rORKSTS". Dkpahtmknt ok Crown Lands.

The Parry Sound District may be described as embracing that acction of country bounded by French river on the North; the Rousseau and Ni- pissing Road line on the East ; Lakes Rousseau, St. Joseph, and other smaller lakes stretchincr to the South ; and the paters of the Georgian Bay on the West. This section containing a large proportion of very fair land fit for set- tlement A road line has been explored and carefully located, leading m almost a direct line from the head of Rousseau Lake to the mouth of South river at Lake Nipissing, called the Rou8.seau and Nipissing road. A road line forming a junction with the Muskoka road, and intersecting the Rousseau road close to the lake of that name, and continuing in a North- West direction to the village of Parry Sound, called the Parry Sound road. A road line from Parry, Sound in a Northerly direction crossiixg the Maganetewan and French rivers, and continued to form a junction with the Great Northern road at Waddell's mills. These lines, and the explorations connected therewith, have developed large tracts of land well calculated for successful agi-icultural settlement. Or^the Parry Sound road grant lots have been surveyed throughout, and the following Townships, bordering upon or embraciag the road, have been sub-divided? namely,— Watt, Cardwell, Humphrey, Foley and McDougall. The Township of Watt is almost entirely settled, and along the whole length of the road, and in the other Townships named, settlement is ac- tively progressing. This road has been opened and completed for travel in a substantial and superior manner, so that Lake Rousseau can be readily reached from the Sound, and vice tersa in one day's travel. On the first line named, road operations were commenced last season, and it is expected the ensuing summer will witness its completion as ftir as the Maganetewan river. On this river the land is unusually good. It is described as a rich loamy clay, covered with fine hardwood, free from stones, and unbroken by ridges and ravines. Further on the line also, fair average and superior land exists in very large proportions, so much so, that the good land is described as embracing a proportion of from seventy to ?eventy-five per e«nt, of the whole. The Northern road passes through some tracts of excellent land, and aettlement is fast proceediuir in ihi« direction «1m'. The facilities afforded for ingress to this country are unusually gnat. Ill the summer season the intending settler has the choice of three routes. He can proceed from Toronto to Collingvrood by rail, and thence by steamboat every Monday, direct to Parry Sound, the latter distance being about seventy miles. At Parry Sound there is already the nucleus of a handsome and thriving viUage, with mills, stores and church. This is one terminus of the Parry Sound road which here crosses the Seguin river by a handsome and substantial truss bridge, and enters the main street of the village. Mr. Beatty, the proprietor of the mill, and the founder of the vUlage resides here, and offers liberally every assistance in his power to in- dustrious settlers. Abundant supplies of clothing, provisions, and imple- ments are also to be found here, which can be had at Toronto prices, with the addition of freight charges. Mr. Wakefield, the Crown Laud Agent for the District, also resides here. The second route is from Toronto to Bell Ewart by rail, from thence to Orillia and Washago mill, at the foot of lake Couchiching, by steamboat, thence fourteen miles by stages running daily to Muskoka bay on the lake of the same name, and thence by Mr. Cockburn's new and excellent steamer to the Indian village at the narrows between the above lake and lake Rousseau, and thence by open boats to the Rousseau and Parry Sound roads. The third route is by the above line as far as Washago, thence by the Muskoka and Parry Sound roads to the head of Rousseau lake, and thence 22 miles to Parry Sound. n X c^ T < ,«4 X K u t 5?; < Seventy cents ca^h, or o P^ CJ \h Ci o < ft. •«1 r; r/. 5 3 ^ ••, <1 5S pt < 1-1 H tf s?; X w H o fa -< s H a PS © •,n k5 .V '»*•*« S S 2 3 S .'^ w^ * ^ ____JL-_5— i- -- =. ! •t « 5 rl Ti 2 i"5 5 -^ iS c4 P-1 rrr--p. o 5 s c4 o *^ ^ 05 -^ t— i 1— ' 4) o c Ph 4> u 01 S « PP ,0 J* ,_g * ^ 55 '^ PP a » X iiD O e C 1 GOOD FARMING LANDS IN CANADA WSST AT ONE DOLLAR PER ACRE.
