anx, in Monmouth Co.. n. Jersey, has received the
signatures of a number of heads of families and
others who are preparing TO commence operations

the same distance on the South There are now on
the premises several good houses, barns and other
buildings Tor temporary use until the permanent

struction OF this will be progressive as the wants
and means OF the Company shall warrant. An ad-
cquate quarry of building-stone Is opened on the
Domain only half mile distant from the proposed
site OF the Edice, requiring for the transportation
of the material merely railroad OF wood, the
track of which will have sufficient deciivity to
enable cars to descend by their gravity. Lime
stone is likewise found near the Domain. Forests
of timber and domestic fuel are on the premises

self support.
As doctor Lemuel c. De!ding, the active pro-
ector OF this enterprise, and several other gentle
men, who have united their farms TO form the Do
main, are members of the New Jerusalem Church,
itmav be fairly presumed that The Leraysvlle Pha-

sious connexions although other persons desirous of
living in charity with their neighbors will by means
be excluded, but on the contrary be freely admitted
to the common privileges OF membership.
