Hermannville Station Is located on the hor-
ders of the Long Island Railroad, whence cars
run several times day TO Brooklyn and New
York. The surface IF the land is smooth and
level. and the surrounding country is perfectly
healthy, and within few miles Of this place,
highly cultivated and valuable, having been
settled Tor more than a hundred and fifty wears,
and where similar lands sell at from $50 to
$500 per acre.
The lands are as good as represented, and as
good as any new land on the Island, and when
cultivated, will produce in the highest degree.
The land was once heavily iimbeIed some
portions are now covered with a thrifty growth
of young wood, oak and pine. Wood Is plenty,
and generally cheap in that part OF The Island.
Fire-wood is cheap that which is suitable 10

ket, is Of uniform price, and has, for a great
many years, been considered cash article on
the Island. =
There is ma ierial on the land for common
fencihg--good chestnut rails can be had with
in few miles of these lands in abundance. All
building materials can be had at the depots Of
Brooklyn and Greenport, and at many inier-
mediate places, at the usHS market prices.
There are numerous stIeamS OF water rising in
these new lands, and running into the great
South Bay, which are renal kable for their pu-

very little change in them, they are unfail;ng;
and wells are of various deplhs-pTobably,o over
these new lands, in the middle region OF the Is

at Hermannville, as the ground is higher, they
