phid, on the Camden and Atlantic
Railroad. Ne0 Jersey.
A old estate consisting Of several thousand
IA Of acres of productive soil, has been divid-
cd into Farms Of various sizes TO suit the pur-
chaser. A population of some Fifteen Hundred,
from various parts Of the Middle States New
England, have settled there the past year, i'm
proved thcir places and raised excellent crops.
The price of the land is at the low sum Of from
SIS TO $50 per acre, the soil is OF the best quail
ty for the production of Wheat, Glover, Corn,
Peaches, Grapes and Vegetables. 1T is CON
SIDERED THE BEST FRUIT SOIL IN THE
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 t.
self, a correct judgement can be formed of the
productiveness Of the land. The terms are made
easy TO secure the rapid improvement Of the
land, which is only sold for actual improvement.
The result has been that within the past year,
some three hundred houses have been erected,
two mills, one steam, four stores, some forty
vineyards and peach orchards planted, and n
large number Of other improvements, making II
n desirable and active place of business.
The MARKET, as the reader may perceive from
its location, is THE BEST IN THE UNION, produce
bringing double the price than in locations away
from the city, and more than double the price In
the West. II 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 advan-
tages. He 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 lie can buy every arti-
Gle he wants at the cheapest price, and sell his
produce for tho highest, lin the west this is re-
yersed,) he has school for his children, divine
service, and will enjoy an open winter and de-
lightful climate, whore fevers are utterly UNI
known. The result Of the change upon those
from the north has generally been to restore
them TO an excellent state of Health.
In the way of building and improving, lum-
Der can be obtained at the mills ut the rate of
SO TO $15 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 the Union where
buildings improvements can be made cheaper.
The reader will at once be struck with the adj
vantages here presented, and ask himself why
the property has not been taken up before. The
reeson 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 TO do They
will see land under cultivation, such is the OK
tent Of the settlement that they will no doubt
moct persons from their own neighborheod; they
will witness the improvements, and can judge
the character Of the population. If they come
with view to settle, they should come prepared
to stay n day or two and be ready to purchase,
as locations cannot b. held on refusal.
There are two daily trains to Philadelphia and
TO all settlers who improve, the Railroad Com
PAM yipe a free ticket for sac months, and hay
price ticket for three gears.

a new and thriving town has naturally arisen,
which presents inducements for any kind ofbusi-
ness, particularly stores and manufactures
The shoe business could be carried on in this
place and market TO good advantage, also cotton
business, and manufactures of agricultural inn
pements, or foundries for casting small articles.
The Improvement hiss heen rapid to insure
n constant and permanent increase of business.
