A N old estate consisting Of several thousand
IA Of acres Of productive soil, has been divid-
ed 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, inn
proved their 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, Clover, Corn,
Peaches Grapes and Vegetables. IT is CON-
sIDERED THE BEST FRUIT SOIL IN THE
UNION. The place is perfectly secure from

Crops of grain, grass and fruit are now growing
and can be seen. By examining the place it.
self, correct judgement can be formed of the
productiyeness 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
large number Of other improvements, making it
desirable and active place of business.
The MARKET, as the reader may perceive from
its location, is THE BEST IN THE UNION, produce

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 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
$40 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 the Union where
buildings improvements can be made cheaper.
The reader will at once be struck with the ad-
vantages here presented, and ask himself why
the property has not been taken up before. The
reason is, il was never thrown in the market I;
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 ex-
tent of the settlement that they will no doubt
meet persons from their own neighborheod they
will witness the improvements, and can judge
tho character Of the population. If they come
with n view TO settle, they should come prepared
TO stay day or two and be ready to purchase,
as locations cannot be held on refusal.

to all settlers who improve, the Railroad Com
