For Ca(h or Lean Office (hutficatts,
H, HE Farm and Trad ci Lnd called Mount Penn,
& in Monmouth County, FafiJerf^y, captaining
twelve hundred acres, about fifty m : from rniladel
phia, There is a neat new dwelling house on the pre
mises, a well of water at the do?r, about four hundred
apple Gees in two orchards, about forty.five acres of
twamp lately cleared, which produces good frelh graft,
and a quantity of upland cleared. This tra& will sup
port a remarkable large Rack of cattle, ' as there is a
- beautiful plain es sass mvfh so laid out by ditches of
frefh water that thirbne half can be pastured, the other
for mowing, whith may be changed annually to advan
tag:. The south end of the tra& is bounded by the
bay, whole shores ahcuad with fifh, wild fowl and byf
ters: On . the north end is a valuable body of cedar
swamp, and convenient to a landing. There is a stone
quarry on the premiers. The great road from Shrews
bury to Cape-May runs through the land within fifty
yards of the dwelling-house, where there is a profo'd
of Little Egg harbour and the flbpping at anchor in the
Inlet, together with a view of the Flipping paying to
the northward and feuthwatdi And 3 Jot of idt marth
adjoining the above, containing by estimation cue hun
dred and three acres, equalled by few lots of marsh, a
brook of frefli water bounding it on the weft, and is si
tuate on the head of the tide in Burlington county.
These two tra&s are situated in as healthy a country as
in America, and will suit a grazier, tavern keeper,
store keeper, or a company of Philadelphia merchants
for the purpose of expediting their sea trade. The fiu
ation renders it convenient for carrying on the whale
fishing, as fwarrhs of those valuable fifh in the season are
fan on the coasts. The East Plains are contiguous, so
remarkable in the Autumn for grafing ; allo feveial 1 ts
es marsh and rough upland: The whole convenient to
R Baotift and Friends ^meeting hcMfe% and grist and
Gyv-mills. No bwer titles can be given for lands in
New Jersey than will be given for these. Any person
inclining to purchase may know the price and particu
lars by applying to James Freeland, at the Friends
meeting house at Little Egg-harbour, or John Don
nell, at the house of Mr. L?wis Grant, typpsrfmith,
near the Coffee-hoafe, in Market street, Philadelphia.
