4 Rare Opportunity in a Delightful and Healthy Oh
mate, % miles Southeast of Philadelphia, CIV
on the Camden and Atlantic -
Railroad, Netc Jersey.

An old estate consisting of several thousands of
acres of productive soil, has been divided into Farms
of various sizes to suit the purchaser. A population
of some Fifteen Hundred, from various parts of the
Middle States and New England, have settled there
the past year, improved their places and raised ex-
cellent crops. The price of the land is at the low
sum of from SIS to $50 per acre, the soil is of the
best quality for the production of Wheat, Glover,
Corn, Peaches, Grapes and Vegetables. IT is CON-
DERED II BEST FRUIT SOIL IN, H
UNION. The place is perfectly secure from frosts
the destructive enemy of the Farmer. Crops Of
grain, grass and fruit are now growing and can be
seen. By examining the place itself, a correct
Judgment can be formed of the productiyeness of the
land The terms are made easy to secure rapid
improvement. The result has been that within the
past year, some three hundred houses have been
erected, two mills, one steam. four stores. some for
~ vineyards and peach orchards planted, and large
number of other improvements, making it a desiras
BILE and active place of. business.
THE MARKET !
as the reader may perceive from its location, Is
II BEST IN THE UNION,
Produce being double the price than in locations
away from the city, and more than double the price
in the West. 1t is known that the earliest and best
fruits and vegetables in this latitude come from New
Jersey. and are annually exported to the extent of
millions.
In locating here the settler has MANY advantages.
Ee is within a few hours ride of the great cities of
New England and Middle States, he is near his old
friends and associations, he is in a settled country
where every improvement and comfort is at hand.-
He can buy every article he wants at the cheapest
price, and sell his produce for the highest, Tin the
west this is reversed. J he has schools for his children,
divine service, and will enjoy an open winter and
delightful climate, wherefeyers are utterly unknown.
The result of the change upon those from the north
has generally been TO restore them to an excellent
stale of health.
In the way of building and improving, lumber
can be obtained at the mills at the rate of SO TO
SIS per thousand. Bricks from the brick yard
opened in the place, every article can be procured
in the place, good carpenters are at hand. and there
is no place in ire Urion where buildings and inn
rrovements can be made cheaper.
The reader will Mt once be struck with the advan-
tages here resented and ask himself why the prop
erty has not been taken up before. The reason is
it was never thrown in the market; and unless these
statements were correct, no one would be invited TO
examine the land before purchasing. This all are
expected 10 do. They will see land under ~calfiva-
ton, such is the extent of The settlement. that they
viii no doubt meet persons from their own neigh
borhood; they will witness the improvements, and
can judge the characi er of the population. If they
come with a view to settle, they should come prepar-
ed 10 stay a day or two and be ready to purchase,
as locations cannot be held on refusal
There are two daily trains to Philadelphia and t.
