SO great was the call for shares IN the
Lakeland Building Lots and farms distrihu-
ted on The 3lst Of January, and 2Sth Of Febru-
airy, now past, that after every share was dis.
posed of, my office ns Literally crowded with
applicants, by whose earnest solicitations, I
have been induced to lay ont 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 vt
; 3 each and consist OF 700 Building Lois,
one hunGred feet square two Farms Of tweu-
ty acres each two Of ten acres each, six OF
five acres cuch, two of fur acres encll, and
lightweight smaller ones, to be distributed On

2 to 30 acres. The shares are limited vi Sic
PAYABLE So when subsri ed for, Is on ~ be-
fore the day of distribution, and the balance

The Village Of Lakeland where these lots
are iocatcd is only short distance South Of
the celebrated Lake lIonkonk oina, the beauty
aud romantic appearance ol which are praised
by all who visit it. Here may already he seen
the best evidence that tan lie desired that
Lakeland and llcrmanvile will shortly bs.
come choice places on Long Island, long
known as ,hc " Garden Spot " Of America
From the published statistical accounts of Tho
late census taken ly the United States it is
shuwn that Long island is the most healthy
location within its burilers fewer deaths ae-
cOrding to it, population than in nny other
place. About 30 farms have been sold with
in n short tme-frlds have been cleared and
cultivated and crops now growing that will
compare avoiably with those in any part Of
the country several houses have been bulk

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 beng erected bv n gentleman
for the purpose of keeping all such articles for
[ sale as are necessary for a conntrv villago
etore, The fertility of the soil, and Its ndsp-
tcdness tor the profitable cultivation OF every
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 acne are If the same
general character as to soil with those now
under cultivation. which cannot he purchased

South Of this. with no better soil naturally,
cells from 5000 to $500 per acre
Tle-e lands will produce as mn per acre

Several gentlemen of the fist rcspcciahility
who have visited Lakcl nd and examined the
crops then growing there, declare that the
wheat, rye, corn, potatoes and garden vcgetH-
bles, are equal 10 any they have seen il sny
part Of the country, proving conclu'ivcly that
the Snil is capable of producing, AMI that in
the highest perfection, all that the agricnliur-
