Each plantation will contain at lealt eighty acres of

with new barns, besides other out-houses. Adjoin

FOR SAL E,
TH E ruins of a compleat MERCHANT MILL,
(which was destroyed by the British army in
their late march through New-Jersey) together with
about 40 acres of Land, situate 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
shop, stable, fmoak-houfe, &c. —The mill walls are
built of very good stone 37 by 52 feet, and about 18
feet high, the foundation of which being well fixed
on piles, are frill fufficient to support a frame build
ing, or even stout enough to build upon with done
or 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 Tories high, covering all
the wheels, and furnifhing granaries to contain about
10,000 bushels of grain, with a remarkable large
meal-loft, and the necessary room for boulting-cbelts,
packing rooms, storing flour, bran, fherts, &c. The
fore-bay and water-lanes are not so much damaged
but they may be repaired at a small expence. All rhe
iron work (which was made by a complete workman )
confiding of gudgions, spindles, rines, steps, pun
chions, bands, machine for railing and lowering mill
ltones, &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 < ably be conftrufted 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, beinq
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 in 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
tities for further speculation.
SIXTEEN DOLLARS REWARD.

and an addition of Twenty Dollars for the thief, if
convicted thereof, paid by me John Coryell, at Cory
ell's Ferry. July 29, 1778. 3*
An iron-work was formerly erected 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 fame creek, whereon is created
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 300 barrels of flour--
being distant from the mill feat let's 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.
