TO THE PUBLICK.
ON Wednesday the second of April next will be
opened a DANCING SCHOOL at the arms
of France in this town, by Mr. D'Orffiere, a gen
tieman who attends the dancing school of the French
Academy in Philadelphia. The character and abi
lities of this gentleman arc so well established in Phi
ladelphia, that those who ihall have any desire to
be intruded by him, have only to enquire there
themfclves. The said school will continue a fuffici
ent time to complete two or three quarters in that
season ; and the terms will be the fame as in Phila
delphia. The school Prill be alternately at Prince
ton, if any can be formed in that place. All forts
of DANCES, the most in fafnion, will be taught,
but principally the graces and manners.
If the inhabitants should have any desire, the di
re&or of the said academy will be very happy in
procuring them also, for the fame season, a very
able master in the French and other foreign lan
guages. ,9w§

A choice tract of land.
TO BE SOLD,
A TRACT of land lying on both sides of Pau
linfkiln creek, Sussex county, and within three
miles of the river Delaware, formerly surveyed and
returned for 900 acres, with the usual allowance,
but is supposed to contain upwards of 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 into
four or five plantations, each to have a front on
the water, as the creek runs nearly through the
middle of the tract. There is a good and conve
nient landing on the creek, about a mile and a half
from the land, where Durham boats of any burthen
may load, and rafts may be floated down to Phi
ladelphia. There are on the land three well im
proved plantations, now in possession of Samuel
Bonham, John Puffon and Ralph Bruglcr, whofc
leases expire next spring. A considerable deal of
upland, and some meadow already cleared, and
much more to clear. The pleasant and convenient
lituaticn, the good quality of the upland, meadow
land and bottom ground, must always render this
traeftof land equal, if not superior, to any of the
fame extent in Sussex county.
The fubferiber would wish 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 pur
chasers can be supplied with a trad of timber-land
which lies very handy, at a very cheap and reason
able rate. The payments will be easy; the title is
clear. For further particulars, and terms of sale,
apply to the fubferiber living in Kingwood town
ship, Hunterdon county. CHARLES COXE.
