A N old estate consisting Of several Thousand
IA of acres of productive soil, has been dlviu-
"A into Farms OF various sizes TO suit the pur-
chaser A population of some Fifteen Hundred,
s,om various parts of the Middle States New |
Fneland, have settled there the past year, inn |
proved their places and raised excellent crops, |
The price Of the land Is at the low sum OF from |
SIS TO $40 per acre, the soil is Of the best quail
Az for the production of Wheat, Glover, Corn,
Peaches Grapes aud 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 it
self q correct judgement can be formed OF the
productiveness Of the land. Tho terms are made
easy 10 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
large number of other improvements, making 1t
a 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. IL is known that the earliest and
best fruits and vegetables in this latitude come
from New Jersey, and annually exported TO
the extent of millions.
In locating here the settler has many advan.
tages He is within few hours ride Of the
great cities of New England and Middle States,
he is near his old friends and associations, he is
in settled country where every Improvement
and comfort is at hand He can buy every arti-
Gle he wants at the cheapest price, and sell his
produce for the highest, lin the west this is re-
versed,) he has school for his children, divine
service, and will enjoy an open winter and de-
ightful climate, where fevers are utterly un-
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 ut the mills at the rate of
$40 to SIS per thousand. Bricks from the brick
yard opened in the place, every article can be
procured in tho 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
reason is, it was never thrown in the market;
md 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 ex-
tont of the settlement that they will no doubt
moct persons from their own neghborheod; they
will witness the improvements, and can judge
the character Of tho population. If they come
with a view to settle, they should come prepared
TO 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
TO all settlers who improve, the Railroad Coat
pany yire q free ticket for sac mouths, and hay
price ticket for three years.

pements, or foundries for casting small articles.
The improvement has been so rapid as TO insure
n constant and permanent increase OF business.
