So great was the call for shares in the
Lakeland Building Lots and farms, distribu>
ted on the 81 st of January, and 18th offebru-
ary, now past, tina, after every share was dis
posed of, my office was literally crowded with
applicants, BY whose earnest solicitations, L
have been induced to lay Out another plot ad-
Joining the last, and extending westerly on
the Long Island Railroad to the Water Sta
tion where the cars now stop to take in water.
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
the 3lst March, 1858.
Each subscriber is entitled to 4 lots, % by
| 100 feet. lying together, or a FARM of from
2 to 20 acres. The shares are limited ct %l5
PAYABLE. So when subsc lied for, 50 on or be-
fore the day Of distribution, and the balance
in monthly instalmen.s Of $3.50.
TIL Village Of Lakeland where these lots
are located is only a short distance South OF
the celebrated Lake RonkoDkona, the beauty
| and romantic appearance OF which are praised
by all who visit it. Here may already bescen

Lakeland and Hermanville will shortly be-

of a crowded city, and enormous rents. a
building is now beng erected by a gentleman
for the purpose of keeping all such articles for
sale as are necessary for a country village

has already been satisfactorily demonstrated

$50 to $40 dollars per acne are Of the same
general character as 10 soil with those now

Several gentlemen of the first respcctabiliiy
who have visited Lakelsnd and examined the
crops then growing there, declare that the
wheat, rye, corn, potatoes and garden vegeta-

the soil is capable of producing, and that in
the highest perfection, all that the agricultur-
list can wish or desire.
