A choice Tract of Land.
TO BE SOL D,
A TRACT of land lying on both lides of Paulinf
kiln creek, and within 3 miles of the river Dela
ware, formerly surveyed and returned for 900 acres,
with the ufuai allowance, but is supposed to contain
1000 acres. The quality of the land is extraordinary
good for wheat, lies level, and is very free from stones
and easily worked ; it may be conveniently laid out in
to four or five plantations, each to have a front on the
water, as the creek runs nearly through the middle
of the trad. There is a good and convenient landing
on the creek, about a mile and a half from the land,
where Durham boats of any burthen load, and rafts .
may be floated down to Philadelphia. There are on
the land two good and inexhaustible limestone quar
ries, one on either fide of the creek; and three well
improved plantations, now in possession of John Puf
fon, Ralph Brugler and Samuel Bonham, whose leases
expire next spring. A considerable deal of upland and
some meadow already cleared, and much more to clear.
The pleasant and convenient situation, the good qua- 1
lity of the upland, meadowland and bottom ground,
must always render this trad of land equal, if not fu-1
perior, to any of the fame extent in Sussex county.
The subscriber willies to fell the whole to one person ;
or, if too much for one, to several, who would jointly
purchase, and agree to divide the land to suit their
own convenience. As the whole of the land may be
cleared, the purchaser or purchasers can be supplied
with a trad of timberland which lies very handy, at a
cheap and reasonable rate. The payments will be easy.
The title is clear. For particulars and terms of sale
apply to the subscriber living in the townihip of King
wood, Hunterdon county, near the South branch of
the river Raritan.

FOR SAL E,
AMoft elegant feat, little, if any inferior, to any
in Jersey, calculated either for the gentleman
or the man of business, situated in the township
of Amwell, in the county of Hunterdon, in a very
agreeable neighbourhood and healthy part of the coun
try; the prolped beautiful, as it overlooks a large ex
tent of country, within one day's tide of New-York
or Philadelphia ; the dwelling-house brick, well fi
nifhed, 36 feet by 48, two stories high, with 4 rooms
on a floor, and a 10 feet entry through the whole, a
neat court-yard in front newly enclosed with a neat
pale fence. The farm contains near 400 acres of
good land, well watered and timbered, with a large
proportion of meadow ; several hundred apple-trees of
the best fruit, many of them grafted. The south
branch of the river Raritan, a never failing stream,
passing through part of said farm, on which are a grist
mill and saw-mill, belonging to the premises, in good
repair, the running gears of the grist-mill being mostly
made new last fummer,in which are two water-wheels,
with two pair of stones, one pair of which are French
burrs, a rolling screen, &c. going by water, and every
thing in proper order for manufacturing of flour after
the best manner.—The saw-mill new.—The stand for
country work equal to any in Jersey. This place be
ing equally distant from New-York or Philadelphia,
gives the choice of either market a material advantage
to the trader. There is a good well of water by the
kitchen door; also newly erected water-works, simi
lar to those in Bethlehem in Pennsylvania, worked by
the water-wheel of the saw-mill, which, without being
any obftru&ion to the sawing, elevates the water be
tween 60 and 70 feet, forces it under ground 250
yards, and brings it within a few feet of the kitchen
door, where it discharges about one hogshead of water
in a minute, which water, after supplying the house,
garden, &c. is designed to be thrown over 25 or 30
acres of ground which lies near the house, and has a
beautiful descent for watered meadow, a good barn,
waggon-houfe, &c. &c. It is not likely any person
inclining to purchase would wish a more minute de
scription, as a fight of the premises would be much
more fatisfadory. A clear and indisputable title will
be made, and possession given on the firft day of May.
For further particulars enquire of the subscriber on
the premises. AMOS GREGG.
