the county of Ulster, and extending along the banks of
Hudson's River, to which it adjoins: it lies within fix
miles of the town of Kingston, where a ready vent may
be had for all kindSof country produce, and within four
miles of the Brand or common landing place of the Efo
pus sloops. There is also a good landing place upon the
tract, between which and New-York two sloops are con
stantly passing and re-passing, at the proper seasons of the
year. The poll-road from New-York to Albany, on the
weft fide of the river, which is now in excellent order,
goes through the whole trad. A grist-mill almost ad
joins the land. The Clyne Efopus kill runs through the
greatest part of it, upon which there is some good meadow
already made, and much more may be made at a trifling
expence. There are also some good red swamp upon the
land Bill uncleared, of which good meadow may be also
made : it, pays no quit-rent. The land is in general
well wooded and watered. There are sixteen or seventeen
common farm houses upon the land, which are held by
the occupants as tenants at will, and to each there is a
considerable quantity of cleared land, The privileges of
cutting fire-wood, and for range and food of cattle in the
common land of the corporation of Kingflon, appertain
to this traftby virtue of the original grant from the
trustees under which the fame is held. Any person or
persons inclining to purchase the whole, or any part
thereof (tho' it would be the more agreeable if the whole
could be disposed of together) may apply to the fubferiber,
at Mount Pitt, near New-York, by whom an indisputable
title will be given, and the terms of payment made

handsomely rewarded.

WHEREAS the store of the fubferiber, in Newark,

viz. A piece of fine cambrick, part of a piece of Irish
linen, 10 pair of fine ribb'd worsted hose, 4 pair of fine
black do. some plaited shoe buckles, 2 pair of mens shoes,
I black handkerchief, 3 pair of stone ear rings, 1 stone
ring, I gold locket, sundry silver shoe and knee buckles,
3 small tea skimmers, 1 pair silver clasps, with sundry
other articles, and a small funi of money, supposed to be
stolen by two men, who Were seen on Sunday evening at
all the taverns in this place, pretending they wanted
lodgings, both ill-looking fellows; one a pretty tall
man ; had on a short light blue or pale coloured coat,
fwanfkin jacket, greasy leather breeches, and lop'd hat.
The other a shorter man, smooth fac'd ; had [on a claret
colour'd furtout, and a smart cock'd hat; has black cur
led hair, and a silver watch in his pocket ; said they were
deserters from Boston. The tallest man pretended to be
a shoemaker, the other a silversmith ; enquired the way
to New-York and Philadelphia, and since have not been
seen here. It is strongly supposed they are the identical
persons that committed the robbery, and are Rill lurking
in or about some of the adjacent towns or villages, as they
have not passed Powles-Hook ferry, and boats from two
ferries were carried to the opposite shore the fame night.
Ihe shop of Mr. Joshua Hurtins, silversmith, was broke
open and a parcel of pinchbeck buckles taken away, and
an attempt made on the store of Mr. Hadden's, but were
alarmed by some of the family, the fame night, which
occasions a stronger suspicion of their being the offenders.
Therefore, whosoever may apprehend them, and secure
them in any of his Majesty's goals, so that they may be
brought to justice, shall have the above reward, and all
reasonable charges, paid by GARRET THIBOU.
£, It is imagined, by their Ipeech, that the tallest
person is a native of Ireland, the other an Englishman;
and it is probable will, or have taken the Philadelphia or
