A DISTILLER Y,
LATELY erected in the city of New-Brunswick, in
the state of New-Jersey, conveniently situated for
the distillation of rum or any other spirituous liquors,
on a constant Stream of running water fufficient to
s u pply the works without the expence of pumping:
One copper still that holds 15# gallons, with worm,
tub, &c. are fixed fit for immediate ^working, and
room for fixing another still of any size, with a num
ber of cisterns and other vessels, all new.
As these works are not compleated, the purchaser
may finish them to his own taste; the Situation is,
perhaps, preferable to most others for this business,
as fire-wood and house-rent are very reasonable, and
the consumption for rum and other spirits, very confi-1
derable. For particulars enquire es Colonel Azariah|
Dunham, New-Brunswick, or
SAMUEL HAY.I
No. 86, William-Street.
N. B. The mode of payment, of the whole or part
of the purchase-money, will be made easy to the pur

The utirty of The proposed publication of a Naufe

nomer and navigator may fafely depend ; while ot
fervatories are established almost in every countiy i&
Europe to furnish the peceffary materials of calculate
on. A Similar publication in America must, of con
sequence, be of Singular advantage to promote the
navigation of the United States, if executed with cate

the gentleman who proposes to undertake the business,
we have no doubt, but that it will be executed wig
the greatest attention and fidelity, and that he defervec
