TO be fold cheap, and the payments made easy

31 feet, the whole covered with cedar; a chairhoufe,
cowhoufe, and many other necessary houses ; a large
pond, which is replenished by a biook, from which
may be drawn a thousand loads of manure yearly, and
is far preferable to horse or cow-dung. The farm
was formerly the property of Mr. 1 homas Vandyke,
and is so well known for its fertility that makes it
needless to fay any thing of the many advantages it
is capable of: 1 he farm is in good fence, and to be

Sixteen Dollars Reward.
RAN away from the subscribers in Trenton in
the night of the 12th inst. two indented liilh
servants, one named William Graham, a labourer,
about 20 years of age, 5 feet 6 or 7 inches high,
much marked with the small-pox on the nose: Had
on when he went away an old short drab-coloured
coat much patched, one pair old cloth breeches, and
cloth jacket ; also took with him a blue coat, cordu
roy jacket, and a red and white striped Holland
jacket. The other named James M'Coy, about 20
years of age, 5 feet 8 or 9 inches high, short light

face, clumfey built: Had on and took with him when
he went away, one old brown coat and jacket, one
pair of green ribbed Bergen breeches, one old black
pair of plush do. one ruffled shirt, two plain shirts, and
one felt hat. It is likely they have changed their

gone to the Nine Partners in New-York state, or
New-England. Whoever takes up said servants and
secures them in any gaol, so as their masters may
have them again, fnall have the above reward, and
all reasonable charges paid by
