hands three inches high when stolen, was half Eng

Philadelphia, and the purchaser, hearing she was sto

in his possession a little before the English army left
the city, and, as I am informed, she was not then
shod or broke to ride. It is likely she is left either in
this State or Jersey. Whoever can give intelligence
of said Filly, so that the owner may have her again,
shall have FORTY DOLLARS reward, or if
brought to the owner, who now lodges at Mr. Hugh
Frazer's in Market-street, Philadelphia, shall have

r r OBE SOLD, a very valuable Tradof Land,
£ situate in Berkeley county, Virginia, containing
about 900 acres, 160 whereof cleared, including 50
acres of meadow: The uncleared land produces very
valuable timber. The fertility of the foil in this part
of the country is generally so well known, that it is
fufficient in this advertisement to inform all those who
may be disposed to purchase, that it is equal to any
in the county. There is a large lime-stone spring,
and an apple orchard, a barn, and an old dwelling
house that may accommodate a small family until a
more commodious one can be built ; lime, hone and
timber requisite for that purpose on the premises. It
is in a pleasant part of the country, and in an agree
able neighbourhood. As this trad will make two good
plantations, it may be run off into two trails and fold
separate, as may best suit. Enquire at Harper's Fer
rv on the Potowmack River. 4*
TH E ruins of a compleat MERCHANT MILL,
(which was destroyed by the Britilh army in
their late march through New-Jersey) together with
about 40 acres of Land, lituate on Black's creek,
about half a mile from Borden-Town, in the county
of Burlington, a healthy part of the country, distant
from Philadelphia 28 miles.
There yet remains on the premises a tolerable good
saw-mill, an old dwelling-house, kitchen, cooper's
Ihop, liable, fmoak-houfe, &c. —The mill walls are
built of very good done 37 by 52 feet, and about 18
feet high, the foundation of which being well fixed
on piles, are still fufficient to support a frame build
ing, or even flout enough to build upon with done
er brick, having sustained little or no damage by the
fire. The mill consisted of two water wheels, and
three pair of stones all running double geer'd, for
which the foundation works are well calculated—be
sides a spare water lane suitable for a small wheel for
hoisting, or many other purposes. The house was
large and convenient, four stories high, covering all
the wheels, and furnishing granaries to contain about
io,cco bushels of grain, with a remarkable large
meal-loft, and the necehary room for boulting-chelts,
packing rooms, storing flour, bran,fhorts, &c. The.
fore-bay and water-lanes are not so much damaged
but they may be repaired at a small expence. All the
iron work (which was made by a complete workman)
confifling of gudgions, spindles, rines, steps, pun
chions, bands, machine for railing and lowering mill
stones, &c. will be disposed ofwith the premises.
The advantages attending this valuable feat for any
kind of water-works are very great, the stream being
pretty good, and is raised to ten feet nine inches
head and fall —the tide flowing up the creek a short
distance from the river Delaware to the spot, a flat
boat has constantly carried from thence 120 barrels
of flour, and a vessel may easily be conftruded which
may load at the mill-tail and carry off upwards of
200 barrels of flour with great convenience immedi
ately to Philadelphia market. The country for ma
ny miles round is fertile, and has always furnifhed
this mill with large quantities of wheat, rye, and
Indian corn ; besides great supplies of wheat annually
brought down the river Delaware in Durham boats,
which unload with much case and dispatch, being
hoisted out by Water diredly into the mill. Exclu
sive of those advantageous circumstances a very am
ple supply of wheat may generally be had from Phi
ladelphia, by the return vessels which are continually
employed in transporting produce from the several
neighbouring landings on the creek and river, at a
reasonable freight, and has frequently been procured
on better terms than the wheat purchased ih this part
of the country. From either of those resources a
very plentiful supply of wheat for manufacturing may
always readily be purchased, with additional quan~
titles for further speculation.
An iron-work was formerly ereded at this place,
which was supplied with pig-iron from Durham, and
other furnaces up the Delaware.
Will be fold with the above premises a lot of ground
near the mouth of the lame creek, whereon is ereded.
a small dwelling-house, store-house, and wharf, for
the convenience of the mill, as well as for the bene
fit of the country, from whence considerable quanti
ties of grain, pork, flour, lumber and other produce,
are annually transported to Philadelphia, and from,
whence a fhallop can carry about 30c barrels of flour
being distant from the mill feat less than half a mile.
There is also a quantity of white-oak and other va
luable timber part on the spot, and part about two
miles distant, already squared suitable for building a.
large tumbling dam, which will be disposed of with
the fame, or Separately.
A good title will be given to the above described
premises. For terms of sale apply to Robert
Lewis, Merchant, in Philadelphia; Rorert Lew
is, jun. at Pennypack mill ; William Lewis, near
Croffwicks ; or to the fubferiber on the premises.
