applicants, by whose earnest solicitations,
have been induced to lay out another pl,t nd
joining the last, and extending westerly on
the Long Island Railroad to the Water Sta.

one hundred feet square two Farms OF TWEEN.
~ acres each two of ten acres each, six OF
five acres each, two OF fur acres each, and
lightweight smaller ones. to be distributed on

The Village OF Lakeland where these lots
are located is only a short distance South OF
the celebrated Lake RonLunkonn, the beauty
and romantic appearance Of which are praised
10y all who visit it. Here may already be seen

From the publishcdstaiisticdl accounts Of the
late census taken hy the United States it is
shown that Long Island is the most healthy
location within its borders fewer deaths ac.
cording to its population than in any other
place. About $50 farms have been sold with
in short timc-fclds have been cleared and
cultivated and crops now growing that will
compare iavorably with those in any part OF
the country several houses have been built
and others are wheeling erected by their en-
terprising purchasers. Mechanics are sclcc-
ting sites for their business here, Which from
its ncnrness 10 New York, they can carry on
with equal profit having their families with
them, secure against the vices and tcmpta lions
Of a crowded city, and enormous rents. A
building is now being erected by gentleman
for the purpose of keeping all such articles for
sale as are necessary for country village
etore, The fertility of the soil, and its adap.
,edness for the profitable cultivation Of every
article of produce raised in n similar latitude
has already been satisfactorily demonstrated :
and the farms which am now selling at from
$50 TO $50 dollars per acic are Of the same
general character rs TO soil with those now
nndcr cultivation. which cannot he purchased
for slO0 per acre and land on the North and
South OF this. with no better soil naturally,
cells from 5000 TO $500 per acre
These lands will produce as mu.h per acre.
with The same cultivation. as any land within
fifty miles Of the city of New York.
Several gentlemen of the first responsibility
who have visited Lakclsnd and examined the
crops then growing there, declare that the
wheat, rye, corn, potatoes and garden vcgeta-
bles, are equal TO any they have seen il, any
part Of the country, proving conclusively that
the soil is capable OF producing, and that in
the highest perfection all that the agricultur-
isl can wish or desire.
