So great was the call for shares in the
Lakeland Building Lots and farms, distrihu>
ted on the 3lst Of January, and 18th oifebru-
airy, now past. that after every share was DIS
posed Of my office was literally crowded with
applicants. by whose earnest solicitations,
have been induced to lay out another plot adj
Joining the last, and extending westerly on
the Long Island Railroad to the Water Sta
ton where the cars now stop to take in wa tier.
Said plot will be divided into 500 Shares at
| SIS each and consist OF 700 Building Lots,
one hundred feet square two Farms of TWEEN
ty acres each two of ten acres each, six Of
| five acres each, two Of four acres each, and
Lightweight smaller ones, to be distributed on
no 3lst March. 1858.
Each subscriber is entitled to 4 lots, 25 by
100 feet, lying together, or FARM Of from
2 to 20 acres. The shares are limited OF SIC
payable, IS when subsc ibed for, 50 on or be-
fore the day Of distribution, and the balance
in monthly instaImenis Of $3.50.
The Village of Lakeland where these lots
are located is only short distance South Of
the celebrated Lake Ronkunkoma, the beauty
and romantic appearance Of which are praised
by all who visit it. Here may already he seen
the best evidence that can be desired that
Lakeland and Hermanville will shortly be-.
come choice places on Long Island, long
known rs the Garden Spot " of America.
From the published Statistical accounts of the
late census taken by the United States il 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

cultivated and crops now growing that will
: compare iavoraby with those in any part OF
the country several houses have been built
and others are nowbeing erected by their en-
! terprsing purchasers. Mechanics are selec-
! ting sites for their business here, which from
its nearncss 10 New York, they can carry on
with equal profit having their families with
them, secure against the vices and temptations
of crowded city, and enormous rents. A
building is now being erected by gentleman
for the purpose of keeping all such articles fol
sale as are necessary for country village
store, The fertility Of the soil, and It's adap
: tedness for the profitable cultivation Of ever,
article Of produce raised in a similar latitude
has already been satisfactorily demonstrated
and the farms which ! am now selling at from
$50 to $50 dollars per acie are Of the sam
Z general character as TO soil with those nov
under cultivation, which cannot be purchaser
for 500 per acre, and land on the North AM
South OF this. with no better soil natural y
, cells from 5000 to $500 per acre.
These lands will produce rs mu ,h per acrt
? with the same cultivation. as any land with
e fifty miles of the city of New York.
