TO BE S 0 77157
By the Subscriber, at private sale, the following
Houses and Lots of Land in Princeton, in the
province of New-Jersey,
hiH E house the fubferiber now lives in, built
& of done, two stories high, 53 feet in length
and 30 in breadth ; there are on the firft floor five
rooms, w ith a fire place in every room, one of which
was formed for a store, and is excellently adapted
for that purpose, being 18 feet in front and 30 in
depth; the second floor contains fix rooms, with
five places in three of them. A commodious cellar
runs under greater part of the building, and a large
convenient garret over the whole. This house may
easily be converted into two diftin& tenements. A
kitchen 22 feet long and 16 wide, a negro-houfe, a
well, a garden, and convenient yard; a barn, a
liable and a chair house under one roof, 50 feet
long and 20 wide, fixed on stone pedestals, and co
vered and inclofed with cedar.
A brick house, two stories high, two rooms on
the firft floor and three on the second; a good gar
ret, and a cellar-kitchen that extends under the
whekf house. To this belongs a lot containing one
acre of land.
A small frame boufe, with a well and garden.
Forty -eight acres of good cleared and well im
proved land adjoining the said town. The land is
divided into four fields, in proper fence, twelve
acres of which is meadow, yielding yearly about
twelve tons of hay, chiefly clover and spear grass:
The rest of the land is equally good for pasture or
tillage. A constant stream of water runs through
the meadow ground, which may, at little expence,
be so turned as to wa(h and fertilize every part of it.
Little need be said ofia village so well known as
Princeton; situated about midway between the ci
ties of New-York and Philadelphia, and in the
heart of a fertile thriving country, its advantages
in point of trade must necessarily be many and
great: This cannot fail of recommending it to
traders. Nor is it less inviting to persons fond of
an elegant retreat, or of having their children pass
through a course of education under their own im
mediate care and infpe&ion. Princeton is seated on
a beautiful eminence commanding an extensive
profpe&, and so remarkably healthful, that several
gentlemen, perhaps on that account chiefly, have
made choice of it as the place of their abode. Sur
rounded too by an agreeable set of neighbours, it
has every requisite to render retirement easy and
delightful. Ihe stone house already described,
Confuting of several apartments, and being within
an hundred yards of the college, would snit ex
tremely a person disposed to let lodgings and to
take in boarders. The,purchafer of the whole, or
of any pan of the premises, must pay down one
half of the purchase money ; for the other half
easy payments will be given. The title is unques
tionable.
The fbbferiber hath for sale an assortment of Dry
Goods, which he will dispose of at a low rate for
call), country produce, or short credit. Also a
Negro R an and two Negro Boys.
i he fubferiber requetts tll persons indebted to
him on bond, note, or book account, to make im
mediate payment. He is desirous of quitting busi
ness and of closing his affairs. To pay thole to
whom he is indebted, it is necessary that those
should fit ft pay who are indebted to him.

JANUARY 30th, 1775.
Extract from JULIET GRENVILLE;
or the History of the Human Heart. By
Mr. Brooke, author cf the Fool of Quality.
THE following ftdry, " or rather history
of the secret process and workings of God
in the human heart, a history interesting to all
who are interested in nature," is related by Lord
Thomas to the Grenville family, int® which he had
introduced himfelf und@r the name of Thomafon,
as a young stranger.
"IN some weeks, after I had quitted my firft
kind hostess, I found myfelf, as I imagine, near
some port 00 the adjacent coast of Flanders, An
humble but decent hamlet caught my eye. Being
hungry and fatigued, I approached the door; and,
taking out the little prattling companion of my
rambles, I began the most chearful air that my
melancholy mood would admit at the time.
Quickly after the door flew open, and the whole
family, old and young, came pouring forth and
crouded about me. Never did I fee happiness so
joyously, so fully expressed as by my circling au
dience. The little ones flew capering and jump
ing about like mad things; the elder ones also
gave adequate signs of their plea fore ; and I
myfelf felt a kind of contagious delight arifingand
breaking through the gloom that oppressed me,
in the sense of my being able to give delight to
my auditors.
At length, one of the most kindly countenanced
women I ever beheld, looked wilfully at me,
and said, Ah, my child, you don't look well ;
perhaps, while you are feafting us here, you your
felf are tired or hungry. Pray come in and par
take of the best we have to give. I would it were
daintier fare for youi ;fake; but we will sauce it
with the heartiest welcome that all Flanders can
afford.•
While I fat at my homely meal, the children
in turns laid hold on my pipe; and, vhen they
could bring it to any utterance, they laughed,
leaped, and ,exulted, as though they immediately
expelled to be adepts in music.
Some time after I had eaten, I resumed my in
strument, and began one of my most plaintive and
melting airs. But I had not proceeded through
half the tune, when the eldest of the sons, now
nearly grown to manhood, butft into tears: Alas,
my mother, he cried, this tune reminds me of
our dearest father. Perhaps this very day he is
either dead or dying, or galled with stripes and
chains in the dungeons of Barbary.
My kind hostess, hereupon, instantly uttered a
shout of the most grievous lamentation : all the
family loudly echoed the voice of wailing:l
joined my own woe to the general calamity ; and
the late house of feftivity immediately became the
house of mourning and defoliation.
As soon as they perceived that I al'o was in
tears, they restrained, as much as they could, thd
stream of their own sorrow, and gathered round
me, caressing, and kindly driving to console me.
But I answered, no, no, my friends, I will not
cheat you of your love; it is not your father, but
my own losses that I lament. Then, said the good
matron, as soon as you, my son, shall be plea fed
to acquaint us with your griefs, we will all weep
for you, even as you have wept with us. My
mother, my mother, I cried, and clasped her to
my bosom, my dear, my dear mother, and my
brothers and filters all, brothers and filers of my
heart !
I found myfelf, I know not how, Wrongly af
fe&ed, and inwardly bound to every member of
this family, who, with the mother, made ten id
number. And I felt that they were to me in the
place of those parents and kindredswhofe faces I
had determined never more to behold.
On the following day, as J saw they were very
numerous, and I feared very poor, I took each of
the Children apart, from the eldest to the least,
and pressed money upon them, alledging it was of
no manner of ofe to me; but they all obftinatelv
refufed to accept of any; except the youngest,
who took some bright pieces of silver by way of
play-things.
This youngest was a girl, scarce seven years of
age, a most bewitching creature, the darling and
little idol of the whole family: her mother was
with child of her at the time that the lamented
father was forcibly taken away. Ah, what foods
of tears fire has cost me, while I used, in a corner,
to take her in my arms or between my knees, and
fired my flow of sorrows on this little repref n a
tive of my own idol and darling ! She was fond
of me to excess, and said The would never have
any bufoancl but me.
The name of the father of this family was
Apree. As he was fubjed to the crown of France,
he was pressed on board a frigate of war, and
rent away from his weeping and inconfoleable
houfhold, neither had they heard any tidings of
him since his departure, save an uncertain report
that the veriel, in which he went, had been takeo
and pillaged by a Barbary Corsair.
