about two thousand acres. There is a very large
proportion of woodland to it, which renders it par
ticularly valuable, as from its vicinity to the river,
the conveyance of the fame to the New-York market
will be attended with very little expence. The land
join general good, and seldom fails of producing good
crops ; its situation is remarkably high and healthy,
commanding a most beautiful and extensive prospect
from the place where the house flood, so much so,
that the city of Amboy lies open to view. There is
a large quantity of frefh and salt meadow, and much
more may be made; a fine thriving orchard, and sun
dry other improvements and advantages, which arc
unnecessary to enumerate, as the character of the
farm is so well known and established. The tradt
was divided in the survey into three separate farms,
on one of which are a house and barn, and some im
provements, and will be fold together or separate, as
may best suit the purchaser.
The dwellinghoufe, barn and outhpufes having been
destroyed by the enemy, and the Proprietors being
obliged to reside at a distance from the farm, induce
them to dispose of it. Those who are inclinable to
view the premises, are requested tocall on Mr. 'John
Dennis, in New-Brunswick, and for the terms are de
sired to apply to Thomas Laurence, or John Laav
rence, jun. in Philadelphia, or to Anthony White, Esq.
now residing at the Union Iron Works, in Sussex, in
the state of New-Jersey.
As the Proprietors will not have occasion for the
money, the purchaser may have any time for the
payment of the fame, on giving security and paying
interest. Dec. 8, 1778.
