MR. HILLS returns his most sincere thanks to
those gentlemen that did him the honour to
call and point out the errors that he was making in
his map of the state of New-Jersey, and he is very
ferry he was not at home, and hopes they will excuse
him, for he was busily employed in surveying the city
of Perth-Amboy, and its environs. As he has re
turned, he shall esteem it as a particular favour if
gentlemen will call on him as they travel thro' Prince
ton, to point out any more errors, or can any way
give him any information : And I do assure the pub
lick, that it will be shortly finifhed, and I hope it will
meet with general approbation.

To be Sold by the Subscriber,
THE house in which he now lives, with the fpaci-
X ous lot whereon it stands, the water lot and nevr
wharf of 78 feet front; it is known to be as good a
Band for business as any in the city of New-Brunswick.
Likewise the house and lot on Water-street, adjoining
next below Colonel Taylors, in possession 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's house and the mine-pits; with a number of
lots on Albany-street, New-street, and other Greets to
be laid out. Also, the freehold right to several lots
and houses in Albany-street, upon ground rent.
The city of New-Bruufwick is perhaps more advan
tageously situated for an 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 vessels of 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 supplies 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 withes
io 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 state. 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

ALLENTOWN ACADEMY,
WHICH was opened in November lafc, is still at
tended to with the utmost care, where are taught
the Latin and Greek Languages, Arithmetick, Mathe
maticks, Book-keeping, Geography, English Gram
mar, and such other branches as are usually taught at
institutions of the like nature, by
ALEXANDER VASS, A. M.
a gentleman whose character is well attested both from
Europe and America, and whose ability and fidelity,
as a Teacher, are known and approved.
The situation of said Academy is peculiarly eligible,
being in a pleasant healthy part of the country, on
the publick stage-road, near midway between New-
York and Philadelphia, where the stages pass twice
every week from the above places, so that those who
choose to fend their children from either of the cities
may have frequent, and the molt convenient and fafe
conveyances. Said Academy is distant twenty-seven
miles from New-Brunswick, fifteen from Princeton,
twelve from Trenton, eight from Bordentown, and
eighteen from Burlington.
Good board and lodgings may be had at convenient
houses near the Academy, and at as low rates as per
haps can be had at any place of education in the state.
The Rev. Mr Clark, who resides in Allentown, in
fpeds the business of the Academy ; and besides other
occasional visits, attends regularly with the Trustees at
the examinations once every quarter, to judge of and
encourage the improvement of the students.
