The Middlebury register. [volume] (Middlebury, Vt.) 1850-1882, 1853-11-09

SO great was the call for shares in the
Lakeland Building Lots and farms, dstrihu-
ted on h- 3lst of january, and 2Sih ofFebru-
AIRY, now past, tina, after every share was dis.
posed Of my office was literally crowded with
applicants. bv whose earnest solicitations, 1
have been induced to lay out another plot ad-
joining the last, and extending westerly ON
the Long Island Railroad to the Water Sta
ton where the cars now stop to take in water.
Said plot will lie divided into 500 Shares at
$ each and consist OF 700 Building Lots,
one hundred feet square two Farms OF TWEEN
" acres each two of ten acres each, six Of
i've acres each, two Of fur acres each. and
eighty smaller ones to be distributed on
hS 3.t March $50
Each subscriber is entitled to 4 lots, rs by
100 feet, lying together, or FARM Of from
2 to 20 acres. The shares are limited Of xle
payable, So when subscribed for - on or be-
fore the day OF distribution, and the balance
in monthly insialmeu,. of $3.50.
The Village of Lakeland where these lots
are located is only short distance South Of
the celebrated Lake Ronkunkornn the beauty
and romantic appearance OF which are praised
| by all who visit it. Here may already be seen
the hest evidence that eau be desired that
Lakeland and Ilcrmanvile will shortly be-
come choice places on Long Island, long
known as the " Garden Spot " OF America.
From the pnblishrdstatistical accounts of tho
late rcnsus taken hy the United States it is
shown that Long Island is the most healthy
location within it, borders fewer deaths sc-
cordng to its population than in any other
place. About $50 farms have been sold with
in short time-felds have been cleared and
cultivated and crops now growing that will
compare iavoiahly with those in ANY part Of
the country several houses have been built
and Others are now being erected BY their en-
ierprising purchasers. Nee hanics are Felec-
ting sites for their business here, which from
its nearncss to New York, they can carry on
with equal profit having their families with
them, secure against the vices and temptations
Of n crowded city and enormous rents. A
building i. now beng erected bv a 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 ad1p.
tedncss Tor the profitable cultivation OF every
article of produce raised in similar latitude
has already been satisfactorily demonstrated :;
and the farms which am now selling nj from
$50 to $50 dollars per acre are Of the same
general character a. TO soil with those now
under 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.
Thee lands will produce as mu,h per acre,
with The same cultivation. rs any land within
fifty miles Of the city Of New York.
Several gentlemen of The first respectability
who have visited Lakeland and examined the
crops then growing there, declare that the
wheat rye corn, potatoes and garden vegets-
bles are equal TO any they have seen il any
part Of the country, proving conclusivcly that
the soil is capable of producing. and that in
the highest perfection, all that the sgriculiur-
it can wish or desire.
