limited for its operation, the offer of grace therein contain
ed hath not had Sufficient time to circulate as extensively
as was necessary to answer fully the benevolent purpose for
which it was designed—it is therefore thought proper to
extend it to a further period ; and I do hereby extend it
accordingly to the firft day ®f July next.

TH E Farm and Tra& of Land called Mount Penn,
in Monmouth County, East-Jersey, containing
twelve hundred acres, about fifty miles from Philadel
phia. There is a neat new dwelling house on the pre
mises, a well of water at the door, about four hundred
apple tiees in two orchards, about forty-five acres of
swamp lately cleared, which produces good frefh grass,
arida quantity of upland cleared. This trad will sup
port a remarkable large flock of cattle, at there is a
beautiful plain es fait marsh so laid out by ditches of
frefh water that the one half can be pastured, the other
for mowing, which may be changed annually to advan
tage < The south end of the tra& is bounded by the
bay, whose shores abound with fifh, wild fowl and oys
ters: On the north end is a valuable body of cedar
swamp, and convenient to a landing. There is a stone
quarry on the premises. The great road from Shrewf
bury to Cape-May runs through the land within fifty
yards of the dwelling-house, where there is a profpe&
of Little Egg-harbour and the (hypping at anchor in the
Inlet, together with a view of the (hipping plying to
the northward and southward: And a lot of bit marsh
adjoining the above, containing by estimation one hun
dred and fhree acres, equalled by few lots of marsh, a
brook of frefh water bounding ft on the weft, and is li
tuate on the head of the tide in Burlington county.
These two tracts are situated in as healthy a country as
in America, and will suit a gratler, tavern-keeper,
Acre-keeper, or a company of Philadelphia merchants
for the purpose of expediting their fez trade. The fix
ation renders it convenient for carrying on the whale
fishing, as swarms of those valuable 6(hin the season are
seen on the coasts. The East Plains are contiguous, so
remarkable in the Autumn for grating; also several lets
of marsh and rough upland: The whole convenient to
a Baptist and Friends meeting houses, and grist and
fair-mills. No better 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
