The land is well noted for wheat and grass, and has a living brook or spring in every field; a plenty of salt meadow for the place, in extraordinary good repair; two tolerable apple orchards, and a fine young nursery of grafted fruit, almost fit to set out; plenty of fine peaches, plumbs. &c. a very fine garden, with a great variety of pears. The finest place for fowling in the fall and winter on said river, and that close by the door; in short, nature has been lavish in furnishing it with conveniences to render it agreeable and healthy; the house, out-houses, barn, &c. all in good order. For particulars, enquire of Thomas Crowell, on the premises.

Extract of a letter from Princeton, New-Jersey, dated | January 23, 1773.
"Yesterday morning between three and four o'clock, I was awakened by the cry of fire: I immediately arose,

and having dressed myself, hastened out and enquired where the fire was: I was informed it was at the house of Mr. Jacob Hyer, at the sign of Hudibrass: I ran immediately to the place, and found the north-east corner in flames without, also the garret within. The College fire engine and buckets being brought, all possible means were used to extinguish the flames, but to no purpose; the fire burned till seven o'clock, when the whole house was laid in ashes. Mr. Hyer lost all his winter pro- visions, beds and other furniture .- By the carefulness of the students Mr. Patterson's house was saved, although adjoining; the roof catched several times, and was put out as often by the help of the fire engine: The students upon this occasion behaved with a becoming boldness which does them honour. Mr. Hyer's kitchen, shop, &c. were also saved by pulling down the entry that leads from the kitchen to the house .- The fire is supposed to have been occasioned by the carelessness of a negro wench, who left a candle burning when she went to bed, which fell down and catched the floor, and having burnt a hole through, communicated it to the laths between the ceiling and the floor. 'Tis to be hoped this accident will cause people to be careful in putting out their candles before they go to sleep."-The Pennsylvania Packet, No. 67, February 1, 1773.
To be SOLD, | A Valuable tract of LAND (free | from quit rent) containing upwards of 5000 acres, situate in the township of Newton, in the county of Sussex. in the eastern division of New-Jersey, within half a mile of the Court-house, where there are at a small settlement, several tradesmen, two taverns and two stores. which always make a market for all kinds of country produce. It is also situated nearly in the center, between the Andover, Sharpsborough and Hibernia iron works, not
.
424
NEW JERSEY COLONIAL DOCUMENTS. [1773
more than six or eight miles distant from each, where good prices are always given for every kind of grain, as well as for beef, pork, butter, &c. This tract is as healthy as any in the country, and is extremely proper for raising the above commodities, particularly beef, pork and butter, as it containes a considerable quantity of improved meadow, (which produces near two tons of good Timothy hay, to an acre) besides a thousand acres of wild or natural meadow, great part of which may be drained, and be as good for hay as that already improved, and probably will grow hemp or corn, as successfully as other meadows of the same soil, in the county of Morris, which have been improved to great advantage.
Besides the meadows above mentioned, it contains a considerable quantity of good swamp, which may be easily cleared and brought into grass; so that upon the whole there are few (if any) lands in that part of the country better calculated for raising stock. The ad- vantages of raising hogs thereon are also very consider- ableable, on account of the great quantity of oak timber and acorns on it and many thousand acres of unimproved land, contiguous thereto afford, where they may be fattened with little or no expense to the owner.
About thirty families are already settled on this tract, whose leases will expire in three years; their respective farms are generally in good fence and repair, and on each a young thriving orchard, just beginning to bear, so that in a few years it will exceed any part of the country for cyder.
It is distant from Elizabeth-Town about 55 miles, and the same distance from Brunswick, to which places, as there are public roads, the produce may be easily trans- ported by land carriage, and the markets there are generally as high as at New York; besides these there are several public roads leading through the tract, viz. One
