BUTTONIAN ART OF INOCULATION,
Now PRACTISED BY
CHARLES EUSTACE, Surgeon,
Who has received a patent for that purpose, with
the names of all to whom that happy and fucceff
ful method is communicated, with a most parti
cular and interesting account of the success which
has attended their practice all over Europe, which
may be seen by the curious at the Donor's shop
fix doors above Market-street in Froat-ftreet.
TH E happy effects and unparalelled success that
has universally attended the Suttonian art of
Inoculation, has so warmly engaged the attention
of the different courts of Europe who have experi
enced its utility, that they have applied for practi
tioners to reside with them ; and so happy and fuc
cefsful have the practitioners been lift year, that
twelve thousand tour hundred and fourteen persons
were inoculated by them, of which three only died.
Such a pleasing and encouraging profpe& as this
affords, to all who have not had the small-pox, in
duces the Do&or (to whom this method has been
communicated in the mod minute and particular
manner) to offer his service to all who may be de
sirous to be inoculated in so fafe and easy a manner,
and with to escape the miserable and unhappy con
sequences that so frequently attend the final! pox in
the natural way. The Do&or may be treated
with every day at his shop, and all who may chufe
to employ him on so important an occasion, may
depend on his tendered care and assiduity for the
preservation of their health and constitution.
N. B. Thole who chufe to be inoculated are re
queued to be foeedy in their application, as the
Doctor is engaged, as soon as he has done here with
his firft course, to go to Bucks county, where he
will inoculate the remainder of this season.

HEREAS I the fubferiber pur-
Yy chafed a tract of land in Weft Pennfborough
township, Cumberland county, for which I gave
Robert Walker twelve bonds, dated May last,
each of which is conditioned for the payment of
£.ioo, to be paid in the month of May every year
for the next ensuing twelve years : And as the said
Robert Walker has not made me a fufficient
title to the land for which the bonds were given,
this is therefore to forwarn all persons from taking
an assignment on said bonds, as I am determined
not to pay any of them until he makes me a good
title to said land.

TO BE SO L D,
By PUBLIC VENDUE, to the highest bid
der, on Monday the tenth of January next,
THE GRIST MILL, SAW MILL
and PLAN TATI 0 N, late the property
of John Bainbridge, situated upon Rocky Brook,
in the township of Wrndfor, county of Middlesex,
and province of New-Jersey. The plantation con
tains about 56 acres of excellent land, on which
are erected, besides the mills, two good frame dwel
ling houses, a blackfinith's ihop, store houses, &c.
The grist mill is in good order, has two pair of
hones, one of them French burr, and stands upon
as fine a stream as any in the province, for in the
driest season, it was never known to fail ; and be
ing in the heart of a fine wheat country, it has eve
ry advantage for carrying on the business exten
sively. The saw mill is likewise in good order.
This Hand is also one of the best in the province'
for a store, one having been kept there for many
years past ; and as it lays about midway between
Philadelphia and New-York, the communication to
both these places (the stages from Burlington and
Bordentown going twice a week) renders the trans
portation of goods to and from either of them ex
tremely convenient, and at a small expence. The
purchaser, upon paying down one third of the pur
chase money, may have a reasonable time for pay
ment of the remainder, with interest, giving secu
rity if required. The sale to begin at twelve o'clock
in the forenoon, on the premises, where the sub
scribers purpose to attend, and will give a good title
to the purchaser, and immediate possession.

TO BE S O L D,
By the fubferiber, the following LOTS and
T RACTS of LAND, in the province of
Pennsylvania, viz.
AT RACT containing 6oco acres of very va
luable land, lying on the waters of Chillif
quaque, in the Fork of Sufqnehannah, about twelve
miles from Sunbury (formerly Fort Augusta) the
county town of Northumberland; which, from its
favourable fixation at the junction of the two
branches of that river, bids fair to become the great
ell commercial inland town in Pennsylvania. The
quality of said tract of land is excellent—surpassed
by few of equal extent in the new purchase, being
a iich deep mould on a lime stone bottom. It
abounds in fine meadow grounds, the whole trad
being exceedingly well watered, by a variety of
iprings, besides the different branches of Chillif
quaque Creek, on one of which (near the centre of
the tra&) is a very good mill-feat. The situation
is in many refpe&s favourable, in an extensive val
ley of good land, capable of making a great settle
ment around it, and very convenient for bringing
the produce to market, at a trifling expence, by
the navigation of Sufqnehannah, being only five or
fix miles dittant from the East, and seven or eight
miles from the Weft Branch of that river; to the
latter, there is a good waggon road already opened.
The whole of this tra& has been accurately survey
ed, and divided in the most commodious manner,
into twenty-one different plantations, so as to ac
commodate each with a proportion of meadow
ground and water. A plan thereof may be seen by
any persons desirous of viewing the lands, by apply
ing to William Patterson, Esq; living within
two miles of the fame, who is authorifed to treat
with any persons inclined to purchase ; or by apply
ing to the fubferiber. Notwithstanding the division
of this trad into different plantations, the owner
has no objection to fell it all together, if more agree
able to any society or company of purchasers.
A plantation containing 276 acres of uncultivated
land, adjoining to lands of Samuel Martin, on
Brightfield'sCreek, about two miles from the raouth
which empties in Juniata, about five miles from the
mouth of that fine navigable stream. At least 30
or 4.0 acres of meadow may be made on this place,
which is watered through the whole extent by the
aforementioned creek, on which a saw mill might
be ere&ed, to great advantage, as the hills around
abound in pine timber. Its convenient situation to
the navigation of Juniata and Sufquahannah, ren
ders it very valuable. Any persons inclining to
purchase, may apply to Mr. Frederick Watts,
near the mouth of Juniata, or to the fubferiber.
A plantation containing 1851 acres ofland, lying
on Tuffey's Run, about four 'miles from Bedford,
on which there is a small dwelling-house, and about
25 acres of cleared land.
Also several very valuable improved lots, adjoin
ing the town of Bedford, on one of which, at the
weft end of the town, is a very commodious dwell
ing-house, a barn, and a still-house, built over a
fine fpring 4
For terms of said lots and lands, near Bedford,
apply to George Woods, or Robert Gal
