do be Sold, by the Subscriber,
'pHE house in which he now lives, with the fpaci-
X ous lot whereon it stands, the water lot and new
wharf of 78 feet front; it is known to be as good a
hand for business as anyin the city of New-Brunswick.
Likewise the house and lot on Water-lueet, adjoining
next below- Colonel Taylors, in poffefii^n 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'#houfe and the mine-pits; with a number of
lots on Albany-Ure^, New-llreet, and other streets to
be laid out. Also, the freehold right to several lots
an ' .houses in Albany-street, upon ground rent.
The city of New-Bruafwick is perhaps more advan
tageouCy situated for an inland trade,' than any town
in New-Jersey, it being a thoroughfare between Phila
delphia and Aew-Voik, and at the head of the navi
gation : f the river Raritan; diitant from the former
joont 60 mists, one half of whicli is water carriage ;
and from the latter, about 35 miles by land, and 40
by water. The Rage-waggons from both these cities
pJs through every day in the year, except Sunday;
and vencis of very considerable burthen afford daily
opportunities of transportation to New-York. It is
remarkable for being a healthy spot, and situated in
the hc&'t of a well fettled fertile country, which af
fords dady supplies of provisions of all forts, at lower
rates than any town in New-Jersey: No place can be
better situated for forekeepers, mechanic's or manu
ia&urers, as tradeimen of all kinds may find couftant
employ, and fend or carry their manufactures either
to New- York or Philadelphia, at very little expencc. -
So fine a situation is really an object for a company of
Ironeft Germans, whole industry the proprietor wishes
lo natch to encouiage, 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 hut be the means of promoting com
merce very rapidly in this state. A number cf 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
