China, Me.
Kennebec co. This is a township
of excellent land, which produced, in 1837, 12,953 bushels
of wheat. China is watered by a lake, or "Twelve
Mile Pond," a fine miniature of the beautiful Skaneateles,
in the state of New York. At the outlet of this pond,
into the Kennebec, are excellent mill privileges. On
the bank of the pond is a very flourishing village,
a stream saw-mill, and an academy. A visit to this place,
Albion, Clinton, Dixmont, and the neighboring towns,
where wheat is worth a dollar and a half a bushel in
the barn, is a good specific against the western
fever. A trip to Boston to China and back again
may be performed in the same number of hours that it
takes to go up either of the canals 100 miles, towards
an unseen country. China lies 20 miles N. E. of Augusta,
48 S. W. from Bangor, and 138 from Boston. Population,
1837, 2,641.
