BOIL is Of superior quality and well adapted for garden
Ing or grazing purposes Along the northern portion
the land hy aud covered with fair growt

quality Of the soil Long Island but 1t is well know
that OF the best hay sold in the New-York marke

Quite recently however, and contrary TO all expectation
the managers Of the Long Island Railroad have decided
TO lower eir Of freight and passenger tariff and al
present the public have to expect bright futute
