To be Sold, by the Subferiber,
r rHE house in which he now lives, with the fpaci-
X ous lot whereon it hands, the water lot and new
wharf of 78 feet front; it is known to be as good a
Hand for business as any in the city of New-Brunswick.
Likewise the house and let on Water-street; adjoining
next below Colonel Taylors; in pofftffion of William
Nevius; the lot is in front on the ftrtet 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 oh
Water-street and the river Raritan, between Doctor
Cochran's house and the mine pits; with a number of
lots on Albariy-Rreet, New-street, and other Rrcets to
be laid out. Also, the freehold right to several lots
and houses in Albany-itreet, upon ground rent.
The city of New-Bruufwick is perhaps more advan
tageously situated for ah inland trade, than any town
in New-Jersey; it being a thoroughfare between Phila
delphia and New-York, and at the head of the navi
gation of the river Raritan; distant from the former
about 60 miles, one half of which is water carriage;
and from the latter, about 35 miles by land, and 40
by water. The ftage-waggons from both these cities
pass through every day in the year, except Sunday;
and vcffcls cf very considerable burthen afford daily
opportunities of transportation to New-York. It is
remarkable for being a healthy spot, and situated in
the heart of a well fettled fertile country, which af
fords daily flipplies of provisions of all forts, at lower
rates than any town in New-Jersey : No place can be
better situated for storekeepers, mechanicks or manu
facturers, as tradesmen of all kinds may find constant
employ, and fend or carry their manufactures either
to New-York or Philadelphia, at very little expence.—
So fine a situation is really an object for a company of
honest Germans, whole industry the proprietor wishes
so much to encourage, 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 but be the means of promoting com
merce very rapidly in this Rate; A number of 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 .
