On Saturday the 9th of April next, at 5 o'clock in the

r r H E house in which Mr. Robert Singer now lives,
adjoining Mr. Joseph Milnor's, in which a Gore

publicly business: The lot contains about a quarter
and half quarter of an acre of ground, on which there
is also a good stable, well of water, &c. Two lots
of land near Mr. John Ricky's, containing near one
acre each, about one half of which is good meadow,
and the remainder may be made so ; they are very
pleasantly situated, and in a good part of the town tor
building on. Also a lot of land containing fix acres,
in good fence, and near the town, on which is a good
bearing orchard. Six months credit will be given for
one half of the purchase money, and twelve months for

1o be Sold by the Subscriber,
r rHE house in which he now lives, with the spaci
ous lot whereon it hands, the water lot and new
wharf of 78 feet front ; it is known to be as good a
stand for business as any in the city of New-Brunswick.
Likewise the house and lot on Water-street, adjoining
next below Colonel Taylors, in possession of William
Nevius ; the lot is in front on the street 75 feet, and
extending the fame breadth about 175 feet, with a wa
ter lot in front of the whole, as advantageously situ
ated, and as capable of improvement, as any lot on
the river :—A number of lots and water lots lying on
Water-street and the river Raritan, between Doctor
Cochran's house and the mine-pits; with a number of
lots on Albauy-ftreet, New-street, and other streets to
be laid out. Also, the freehold right to several lots
and houses in Albany-street, upon ground rent.
The city of New-Brunswick is perhaps more advan
tageously situated for an inland trade, than any town
in New-Jersey, it being a thoroughfare between Phila
delphia and New-York, and at the head of the navi
gation of the river Raritan; distant from the former
about 60 miles, one half of which is water carriage;
and from the latter, about 35 miles by land, and 40
by water. The ftage-waggons from both these cities
pals through every day in the year, except Sunday;
and vessels of very cohfiderable burthen afford daily
opportunities of transportation to New-York. It is
remarkable for being a healthy spot, and situated in
the heart of a well fettled fertile country, which af
fords daily supplies of provisions of all forts, at lower
rates than any town in New-Jersey: No place can be
better situated for storekeepers, mechanicks or manu
facturers, as tradesmen of ail kinds may find constant
employ, and fend or carry their manufactures either
to New-York or Philadelphia, at very little expence.—
So fine a situation is really an object for a company of
honest Germans, whose industry the proprietor withes
so much to encourage, that if their families will be
come citizens by purchase, he will give them a proper
lot to build a church on, and a convenient lot of four
or five acres for a parsonage. This place is likewise
distant, by land or water, about 12 miles from the city
of PERTH-AMBOY, situated at the mouth of the
river Raritan, lately made a free port, and endowed
by charter with privileges, and by nature with advan
tages, that cannot but be the means of promoting com
merce very rapidly in this state. A number of lots and
water lots are likewise to be fold there. Those that
incline to purchase, may know the terms and conditi
ons of sale, by applying to

To the PUBLIC K.
MR. HILLS returns his most fihcere thanks to
those gentlemen that did him the honour to
call and point out the errors that he was making in
his map of the state of New-Jersey, and he is very
sorry he was not at home, and hopes they will excuse
him, for he was busily employed in surveying the city
of Perth-Amboy, and its environs. As he has re
turned, he shall esteem it as a particular favour if
gentlemen will call on him as they travel thro' Prince
ton, to point out any more errors, or can any way
give him any information : And I do assure the pub
lick, that it will be shortly finilhed, and I hope it
will meet with general approbation.

SMOKY CHIMNIES.
IN this city, in this country, in every country un
der the fun, Smoky Chimnies are a curse to many
a good family. A letter from a gentleman in Scot
land, agrees so well with my own opinion of the usu
al cause, and best means to avoid the evil, that I am
induced to republish the substance of it ; the rather as
the writer speaks from experience.
Workmen draw up the funnels of chimnies rath
from their fancies or the practice of places, than from
found principles. For the most part, chimnies th
fmoke, are carried up narrower near the top than'
low, or than where they go zig-zag in angles,
air in the rooms being ratified, is forced into tl
nel of the chimney, and with the smoke afeert
it; but the further the air and smoke afeend, the ac
tion of the powers driving them is the less ; and whci
the funnel, as it is higher, is closer and closer, the
refinance to the afeent of the air and smoke in en
creafed ; there is, too, the encreafing friffion of the
narrowing sides of the funnel. It is said, the wider
at top, the more liberty the wind has to blow down
the chimney; but it is refilled in its defeeat by th^
