So great was the call for shares in the
Lakeland Building Lots and farms, distrhu-
ted on the 3lst of January, and 2Sth Of Febru-
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
ton where the cars now stop TO take in water.
Said plot will be divided into 500 Shares at
S rs each and consist of ECO 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 lots, % by
90 feet, lying together, or a FARM Of from
2 to 20 acres. The shares are limited ct 81 c
payable, So when subso lied for, 50 on or be-
fore the day Of distribution, and the balance
in monthly nstalmenls of $3.50.
The Village OF Lakeland where these lots
are located is only a short disurs. South Of
the celebrated Lake Ronkunkou the beauty
and romantic appearance OF wi 1re praised
| by all who visit IT, Here may lady be seen
| the best evidence that con be desired that
Lakeland and Hermanville will shortly be-
come choice places on Long Island, long
known as the Garden Spot OF America.
From the published statistical accounts OF the
late census taken by the United States 1t is
shown that Long Island is the most healthy
location within its borders fewer deaths ac-
cording to its population than in any o.lri

of crowded city, and enormous rents. a

store, The fertility of the soil, and its adap
tedness for the profitable cultivation Of ever,
