ble land, lying on the waters of Cbilifquaque, in
the Fork of Sufquebannab, about twelve miles from
Sunbury (formerly Fort Augujia) the county town of
Northumberland, which, from its favourable Jitua+ion
at the junction of the two branches of that river, bids
fair to become the greuteft commercial inland town in
Petrfylvanid The quality of said traft of land is ex
ce L,X—furpujfed by Jew of equal extent in the New
Purckafe, being a rich deep mould on a lime flone bot
tom. It abounds in fine meadow grounds, the whole
trad being exceedingly well watered by a variety of
fprngs, beJid.s the Afferent branches of Chilifquaque
Creek, on one of which (near the centre of the traft)
is a very good mill feat. The situation is in many re.
fjeldsfavourable, in an extensive valley of good land
capable of making a good settlement around it, and
very con venient for bringing the produce to market, at
a trifling expence, by the navigation of Sufquehannah
being only five or fix miles distant from the East, and
fei en or eight miles from the Weft Branch of that river
to the latter there is a good waggon road already open
ed. The whole of this traft has been accurately pur
veyed, and divided in the most commodious manner,
into twenty -one different plantations, so as to accom
modate each with a proportion of meado w ground and
water. A flan thereof may be seen by any persons de-
Jirous of viewing the lands, by applying to William
Patterson, Esq; living within two miles of the

meadow may be made on this place, which is watered
through the whole extent by the aforementioned creek
on which afaw-mill might be erebbed to great advan
tage, as the bills around abound in pine timber. Its
convenient ftuation to the navigation of Juniata and
Sufquehannah, renders it very valuable. Any persons
inclining to purchase, may a,ply to Mr. Frederick
Watts, near themoutb of Juniata, or to the fubferiber.
