TRENTON ACADEMY.
THE Trustees of the Trenton Academy inform
the publick, that they have engaged inftruftors
in the several most ufeful branches of education ; one
of whom teaches the English language grammati
cally in its present purity and elegance; another
writing, arithmetick and accounts; and a third the
learned languages, mathematicks, geography, &c.
By this arrangement an opportunity is given to such
as may think proper to encourage the institution by
fending their children to have them taught any one
or more of the above branches at their choice.
As it will be the constant object of the Trustees
to employ able teachers in the several schools, they
flatter themselves this seminary will answer the molt
valuable purposes to the community at large, and
particularly to every individual who may resort to
it for inftruftion.

WHEREAS, by an ad of the Council and Ge
neral Assembly, passed at- Trenton the 19th
day of December last, the fubicribers were appointed
trustees to fell and dispose of the real estate of Jo
nathan Hampton, late of Elizabeth- Town, in the
county of Ellex, Esquire, deceaied, for the uies and
purposes in the said aft mentioned.—They do give
this publick notice, that in pursuance of the power
and authority to them given in and by the laid aft,
they will fell and dispose of the several plantations,
houses and lots of land, herein after mentioned, that
is to fay,
A dwelling-house and plantation lying about two
miles from Ehzabeth-Town, on the great road to
Philadelphia, containing near two hundred acres,
fifty of which is woouland, fifty of it good meadow,
and the remainder extraordinary pasture and plough
land, the whole well watered, the house is built of
brick, two stories high, with four rooms on a floor,
a good kitchen, and a cellar under the whole ; there
is also a good barn and other out-houles, a fine
well of water near the door, an excellent garden,
with plenty of the belt fruit trees; likcwile two very
good orchards.
Also a small plantation containing abou' :thirty
acres, with the dwelling-house and improvements
thereon ; on part of this land is a very excellent
orchard, the remainder exceeding good meadow.—
This house is commonly known by the name of the
Wheai-Sheaf tavern ; it has been a publick house
for many years, and is in a very good Hand for bu
siness, being situate nearly oppohte to where the
road from Raritan falls into the main read to Phi
ladelphia.
Also a large commodious dwelling-house in Eli
zabeth-Town, with a lot of land and garden to the
fame belonging, generally known by the name of
the White-House: It is a very good stand for pub
lick business.
Also a very neat dwelling-house, two stories high,
with the ground and garden to the fame belonging,
where Mrs. White now lives, adjoining the house
and land of Doctor Dayton : It is in a most pleasant
and agreeable part of the town.
Also several small tenements and lots of land lying
in the said town : likewise sundry trails cf land ly
ing in the county of Morris, one of which is in what
is called the Great Swamp, Ipeing an extraordinary
traft of timber and woodland.
Also several plantations and lots of land in the
county of Sussex; the lots are in Newtown, near
the court-house, as are also some of the plantati
ons. Whoever should incline to purchase, by ap
plying to the trustees, may, very probably, find the
terms agreeable, as there will not be any immediate
occasion for a principal part of the purchase money,
for upon that being properly secured, and the in
terest paid, it will not perhaps be called for in years
to come. JOHN CHETWOOD, ) _ „
