Brunswick, in the state of New-Jersey, commonly

about two thousand acres. There is a very large
proportion of woodland to it, which renders it par
ticularly valuable, as from its vicinity to the river,
the conveyance of the fame to the New-York market
will be attended with very little expence. The land
kin general good, and seldom fails of producing good
crops; its situation is remarkably high and healthy,
commanding a most beautiful and extensive prospect

that the city of Amboy lies open to view. There is
a large quantity of frefh and salt meadow, and much
more may be made ; a fine thriving orchard, and sun
dry other improvements and advantages, which are
unnecessary to enumerate, as the character of the
farm is so well known and established. The tract
was divided in the survey into three separate farms,
on one of which are a house and barn, and some im
provements, and will be fold together or separate, as
may belt suit the purchaser.

Dennis, in New-Brunswick, and for the terms are de
sired to apply to Thomas Laurence, or 'John Lau
rence, jun. in Philadelphia, or to Anthon, White, Eiq.
now reliding at the Union Iron Works, in Sussex, in

payment of the fame, on giving security and paying
interest. Dec. 8, 1778.
