TO BE S O L D,
AVER Y valuable tra& of LAN D, situate on the
Rariton Kiver, two miles from the town ofNew-
Brunswick, in the state of New Jersey, commonly known
by the name of the Island Farm ; containing about two
thousand acres. There is a very large proportion of
woodland to it, which renders it particularly valuable,
as from its vicinity to the river, the conveyance of the
fame to the New York market will be attended with ve
ry little expence. The land is in gerer 1 gcod, and
seldom fails of producing good crops ; its situation is
remarkably high and healthy, commanding a most beau
tiful and extenfi/e profpea from the place where the
house stood, so much so, that the city of Amboy lies
open to view. There is a large quantity of fiefh and
falt meadow, and much more may be made; a fine
thriving orchard, and sundry other improvements and
advantages, which are unnecessary to enumerate, as the
character of the firm is so well known and thardifhed.
The traft was divided in the survey into three federate
farms, on one of which are a house and bain, and some
improvements, and will be fold together or fepeiate, as
may best suit the purchafer.'
The dwelling-house, barn and cut-houses having
been destroyed by the enemy, and the P oprietors being
obliged to reside at a distance from the farm, induce
them to dispose of it. Those who are inclinable to view
the premises, are requested to call on Mr. John Dennis
in New-Bruniwick, and for the terms are desired to ap
ply to THOMAs Lawrence, or John Lawrence, jun.
in Philadelphia, or to Anthony White, Esq ; now
residing at the Union Lon Works, in Sussex, in the
state of Jersey.
As the Proprietors will not have occasion for the mo
ney, the purchaser may have any time for tbepayment
of the fame, on giving security and paying interest.
