TWO S TRA Y S:
COMETIME in the fall of the year 1777 came to
° the fabferiber's farm, near the borough of Wilming
ton, in Newcastle county, a small dark brown Gelding,
about thirteen hands high, paces a small travel, has
neither brand nor ear mark, and appears to be old.
Also in the beginning of the tenth month last broke in
to the said farm, an old sorrel Gelding, shod all round,
appears to have been used to the geers and was very
poor when he came, has neither brand nor ear mark.
The owner or owners of the said creatures are desired to
come, prove their property and pay reasonable charges
before the 25th of the third month next, otherwise they
will then be fold for the fame, and the overplus, if any,
secured for the owner. It is thoughtthe said strays have
been brought here from some considerable distance, for
notwithstanding all the reasonable endeavors that have
been used to give the owners notice (if the, had been
near) of said drays, no person has yet appeared to claim
either of them. JOHN STAPLER.
TO BE SOL D,

Raritcn Kivtr, two miles from the town cfN-w-
Brunswick, in the ftateof New-J< rfey, commonly known
by the name cf the Island Farm ; containing abtut two
th :ufand acres. There is a very large proportion cf
woodland to it, which renders it p rticulariy valuable,
as from its vicinity to the river, the conveyance o' the
fame to the New York market will be at ended with ve
ry little expence. The land is in g^ er 1 gcodi and
fcldom fails of producing good , crops ; t fixation is
remarkably high and heal hy, commanding a mod beau
tiful and exteifive profpe& from the place where the

open to view. There is a large quantity of frefti and
salt 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 established.
The traft was divided in the survey into three (operate
farms, on one of which are a house ard barn, and feme
improvements, and will be fold together or feperate, as
may best suit the purchaser.
The dwelling-house, barn and cut-houses having
been deftioyed by the enemy, and the B oprieters being
obliged to reside at a distance from the farm, induce
them to dispose of it. Those who are inclinable to view
the premises, areiequeßed to call on Mr. John Dennis
in New-Brunlwick, and for the terms are desired to ap
ply to Thomas Lawrenck, or John Lawrence, jun.
in Philadelphia, or to Anthony White, Esq ; now
r.fiding at the Uidon Lon Works, in Sussex, in the
Rate of Jersey.
As the Proprietors will not have occasion for the mo
ney, the purchsfer may have any time for the payment
of the fame, on giving security and paying interest.
