So great was the call for shares IN the
Lakeland Builoing Lots and farms, distrhu-
ted on the 3lst Of January, and 2Sth Of Fcbru-
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 ad-
joining the last, and extending westerly on
the Long Island Railroad to the Water Sta
ion where the cars now stop TO take in water.
Said plot will be divided into 500 Shares at
SIS each and consist OF 200 Building Lots
one huGrcd 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
! eighiy-eight smaller ones, to be distributed on
/ hO 3lst March. 1853.
! Each subscriber is entitled to ! lots, % by
100 feet, lying together or FARM Of from
2 to 20 acres. The shares are limited OF Sic
PAYABLE, s. when subscribed for, So on or be-
fore the day of distribution, and the balance
in monthly insialmen,s of $3.50.
The Village OF Lakeland where these lots
are located is only short distance South Of
the celebrated Lake RonkUnkoina, the beauty
and romantic appearance OF which are praised
| 10y all who visit it, Here may already be seen
| the best evidence that can he desired that
Lakeland and llermanville will shortly be-
come choice places on Long Island, long
known as ,he " Garden Spot" Of America
| From the luDllSucu STATISTICAL dCcOantS 81 Inc
late census taken 10y the United States ii 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 80 farms have BEEN sold with
in short timc-ficlds have been cleared and
cultivated and crops now growing that VIII
compare iavorably with those in any part Of
the country several houses have been built
and others are nowbeinS erected by their en-
terprising purchasers. Mechanics are Eelec-
ting sites for their business here, which from
its ncarness to 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. y
: building is now being erected by gentleman
y for the purpose of keeping all such articles ior
+ sale as arc necessary for a country village
1 store, The fertility Of the soil and Its adap.
= tedness for the profitable cultivation OF every
4, article of prodGce raised in n similar latitude
c has already been satisfactorily demonstrated
> and the farms which ! am now selling at from
5 $50 to $50 dollars per acne are If the SAINT
general character as ID soil with those nov

Il for Sl00 per acre, and land on the North ant
South OF this. with no better soil naturally
Il cells from 5000 to $500 PER acre.
q Tlese lands will produce as mu Ii per acre
i with the same cultivation. as any land withil

l. Several gentlemen of the first respcctabilii
c who have visited Lakclsnd and examined tn
S, CROPS then growing there, declare that til
wheat, rye, corn, potatoes and garden vcgeta
Up bes, are equal TO any they have seen ia an
g part Of the country, proving conc1nsively tina
the soil is capable of producing, and that i
re the highest perfection, all thar the agricultui
ist can wish or desire.
