TOB E SO L D,
By the fubferiber, the following LOTS and
TRACTS of LAND, in the province of
Pennsylvania, viz.
AT R ACT containing 6000 acres of very va
luable land, lying on the waters of Chillif
quaque, in the Fork of Sufquehannah, about twelve
miles from Sunbury (formerly Fort Augusta) the
county town of Northumberland; which, from its
favourable lituation at the junction of the two
branches of that river, bids fair to become the great
est commercial inland town in Pennsylvania. The
quality of said trad of land is excellent—surpassed
by few of eq al extent in the new purchase, being
a rich deep mould on a iiine stone bottom. It
abounds in fine meadow grounds, the whole trad
being exceedingly well watered, by a variety of
springs, besides the different branches of Chillif
quaque Creek, on one cf which (near the centre of
the tra&) is a very good mill-feat. The situation
is in many refpeas favourable, in an extensive val
ley of good land, capable of making a great fettle
merit around it, and very convenient for bringing
the produce to market, at a trifling expence, by
the navigation of Sufquehannah, being only five or
fix miles aidant from the Eart, and seven or eight
miles from the Wed 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 nioft 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 defiraus 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 tract into different plantations, the owner
has 110 objection to fell it all together, if more agree
able to any society or company of purchasers.
A plantation containing 276 acies of uncultivated
land, adjoining to lands of Shmuel Martin, on
Brightfield'sCreek, about two miles from the mouth
which empties in Juniata, about five miles from the
mouth of that fine navigable stream. At lealt 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 erected, 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
puicbafe, may apply to Mr. Frederick Watts,
near the mouth of Juniata, or to the fubferiber.
A plantation containing 185? acres of land, lying
on Pulley's Run, about four miles fi omßedford;
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
well end of the town, is a very commodious dwell
ing-house, a barn, and a Rill-house, built over a
fine spring.
For termsof said lots and lands, near Bedford,
apply to George Woods, or Robert Gal
breath, Esquires, in Bedford, or to the proprie
tor, in Baltimore, Maryland.

SUTIONIAN ART of INOCULATION,
Now PRACTISED BY
CHARLES EUSTACE, Surgeon,
Who has received a patent for that purpose, with
the names of ill 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 Doctor's (hop
fix doors above Market-street in Front-street.
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 last year, that
twelve thousand four hundred and fourteen persons
were inoculated by them, of which three only died.
Such a pleasing and encouraging prospect as this
affords, to all who have not had the small-pox, in
duces the Doctor (to whom this method has been
communicated in the most 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 small pox in
the natural way.- The Doctor may be treated
with every day at his (hop, and all who may chute
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. Those who chufe to be inoculated are re
quested to be speedy in their application, as the
Doctor is engaged, as soon as lie has done here with
his firft course, to go to Bucks county, where he
will inoculate the remainder of this fcafori.
For THR ENTERTAINMENT
Of the CURIOUS.
MR. KINNERSLEY having lately made
fom^ considerable addition to his Ele&rical
Apparatus, particularly, having added an elegant
case of seventy bottles, *ach lined and coated with
tinfoil; he proposes to exhibit a course of E LEC
TRICAL EXPERIMENTS, at the College
in this city, on Monday and Tuesday next week ;
and again on the following Wednesday and Friday;
to begin at fix o'clock in the evening. In this
course, consisting of only two leisures, above forty
curious and interesting experiments will be exhibit
ed, tending to ihow the nature and properties of
lightning, and, which is of the greatest importance,
how to avoid the danger of it ; —how to secure
houses, drips, &c. from receiving any damage by
ligntning.
The following particulars will, it is presumed, be
thought no inconsiderable part of this Electrical
entertainment, viz. Flaihes of real lightning visible
under water. Iron heated red hot, and even melt
ed by lightning, whild under, and in contact with,
common cold water. Experiments on that wonder
ful electric done, from the East-Indies, called the
Tourmalin, which will become eleCtrifed by being
dipt in boiling water ; one fide electrifed positively,
the other negatively. A curious represen tation of
the adonidiing eleCtric Eel, lately seen in this city;
on touching of which, while in the water, an elec
tric Stock may be as sensibly felt, as from a live one.
A representation of part of the Sarry heavens, ex
hibiting a variety of beautiful eledric stars.
As the knowledge of Nature tends to enlarge the
human mind, and give us more noble and exalted
ideas of the Author of Nature, and, if well pur
sued, seldom fails producing Something ufeful to
man ; it is hoped that an entertainment of such a
tendency, will meet with Suitable encouragement.
Those Gentlemen and Ladies who purpose to attend
these leCtures, are requested to be furnifhed with
tickets, that no money may be taken at the door.
Tickets may be had at the bar of the London Coffee
houfe, and at Mr. Kinnerdey'shoufe near the Col
lege, at Half a Dollar for each lecture.
N. B. EleCtrical Experiments cannot be well ex
hibited in damp or wet weather; therefore if either
of the evenings above appointed should not prove
dry enough, the exhibition mult be deferred till
some dry evening after. The firft lecture of each
course to be on Monday and Wednesday evenings;
second le&ure on Tuesday and Friday evenings.
