FOR SAL E,
TWO hearty negro men, one about 40 years of
age, the other about 27, the one is a good
farmer—has been used to attend a saw and grist mill,
and is remarkably handy with carpenters and tur
ners' tools.
Also a hearty negro woman, about 27 or 28 years
of age, and a negro girl, about 18. They have both
been used to town and country, and would suit either.
They have all had the small-pox and measles, and
are fold for no fault, but that the proprietor is deter
mined to keep none of their colour. A reasonable
credit will be given for the purchase-money. Paper
money, or notes given by Benjamin Thompson, Esq.
will be taken in payment. For further particulars
enquire of the printer.

THE fubferiber, having built a com
modious store and wharf for the storing and
lading all kinds of country produce, and hav
ing proper boats for transporting the fame to New-
York, which fail from this place twice a week, gives
this publick notice, and engages to receive into his
store, and carry to New-York, all kinds of calk goods,
at fix-pence per barrel for flour, and in that propor
tion for all larger calks. The farmer, country tra
der and miller, are reminded of the expence they
have, for two winters last past, been at in removing
their flour, flaxfeed and other articles by land from
New-Brunswick, after they had been there stored,
in order that they might be exported from hence to
New-York, the navigation of the river Raritan hav
ing been for a long time intirely obftru&ed by the
ice.—The profpeCt they have to dispose of their pro
duce here at the New-York market price, by which
the whole commission on the sales will be saved, and
the certainty of getting their produce to market im
mediately upon the intelligence of an advanced price
at New-York, cannot but be matters worthy their
consideration. James Parker.
