TO B E SOT D,
'Io be Sold, by the Subscriber,
THE house id which ' he now lives, with the spaci
ous lot whereon it Hands, the water lot and new
wharf of 78 feet front; it is known to be as good a
stand for bulinefs as any in the city of New-Brunswick.
Likewise the house and lot on Water-street, adjoining
next below Colonel Taylors, in possession of William
Nevius ; the lot is in front on the ftrcet 75 feet, and
extending the fame breadth about 175 feet, with a wa
ter lot in front of the whole, as advanfageoufly htu
ated, arid as capable of improvement, as any lot on
the river :—A number of lots and water lots lying on
Water-street and the river Raritan, between Doctor
Cochran's house and the mine-pits; with a number of
lots on Albany-street, New-ftfeet, and other rtfeets to
be laid out. Also, the freehold right to several lots
and houses in Albany-street, upon ground rent.
The city of New-Brunswick is perhaps more advan
tageously situated for an inland trade,' than any town
in New-Jersey, it being a thoroughfare between Phila
delphia and New-Yoik, and at the head of the navi
gation of the river Raritan; distant from the former
about 60 miles, one half of which is Water carriage •
and from the latter, about 35 miles by laud, and 43
by water. The flage-waggons from both these cities
pat's through every day in the year, except Sunday ;
and vessels of very considerable burthen afford daily
opportunities of transportation to New-York. It is
remarkable for being a healthy spot, and situated in
the heart of a well fettled fertile country, which af
fords daily supplies of provisions of all forts, at lower
rates than any town in New-Jersey: No place can be
better situated for storekeepers, mechanicks or manu
facturers, as tfadefmen of all kinds may find constant
employ, and fend or carry their manufactures either
to New-York or Philadelphia, at very little expence,—
So fine a situation is really an object for a company of
honest Germans, whose industry the proprietor wishes
so much to encourage, that if their families will be
come citizens by purchase, he will give them a proper
lot to build a church on, and a convenient lot of four
or five acres for a parsonage. This place is likewise
distant, by land cr water, about 12 miles from the citv
of PERTH-AMBOY, situated at the mouth of the
river Raritan, lately made a free port, and endowed
by charter with privileges, and by nature with advan
tages, that cannot but be the means of promoting com
merce very rapidly in this state. A number of lots and
water lots are likewise to be fold there. Those that
incline to purchase, may know the terms and conditi
ons of sale, by applying to
