There is on it a double house, with three fire-places; a good garden paled in, a large orchard of apple trees of good fruit; and also a good peach orchard. There is a saw-mill and a house, with sev- eral other conveniences adjoining the saw-mill, at some distance from the other house, so that the farm can be di- vided into two good settlements, as it is at present. There is a fine fishing place belonging to it : And good oyster- ing, clamming, and good fowling, and has the conveniency of a good navigable creek, where boats of ten and twelve cord can go up and load and unload within a small dis- tance of the saw-mill, from the tail of which the boards can, with great convenience, be floated down the creek to the boats : It is about two miles and a half from the city of Perth-Amboy, and about six miles from the city of New-Brunswick, very convenient to both markets. There is a prospect of both a coal and iron mine on the place.

New-York, April 18. Between the Hours of Twelve and one o'Clock last Wednesday, a terrible Fire broke out in the Dwelling-House of the Widow Dilldine, in Bruns- wick, New-Jersey, which consumed the same, with the Dwelling-House and Bake-House of Mr. John Van Nor- da, jun. adjoining thereto, in a very short Time. The wind being high, the Flames soon reached across the Street, and set fire to the House of James Nealson, Esq; which was also soon consumed, with his 2 Store-Houses, a Cooper's Shop, and Bolting House, wherein was a large Quantity of all Sorts of Country Produce to a very great Amount. The Dwelling-House, and Store of Mr. Peter Vredenberg, and the Widow Carmer's, were also burnt, as they adjoined Mr. Nealson's Buildings, with almost every Thing that was therein. In short the Loss is very considerable. The Inhabitants, joined by the Military, used their utmost Efforts, to extinguish the Fire, but the Wind being so very high, could effect it by no other Method than pulling down some Buildings in its Way, by which it was happily accomplished. Not one Person was hurt during the whole Affair.
How the Fire began is not well known, but supposed to be occasioned either by some Sparks from Mr. Van Norda's Bake-House, or from the Chimney of the House of Mrs. Dilldine.
140
NEW JERSEY COLONIAL DOCUMENTS. [1768
At the Time Mr. Nealson's Dwelling-House was on Fire, he with some of his Friends, were about two Miles out of Town at his Mills that were in Danger of being set a Fire by the burning the Woods.
This City has been alarmed no less than 19 Times by Fire within the Space of about 20 Days.
Mr. Bond's House between Newark and Elizabeth- Town and Mr. William Nicoll's House, and Barn, at Freehold, were burnt the same Day; and the House of Mr. John Johnson and William Burnet, of Amboy, both took Fire the same Day also, but were happily extin- gnished, without doing any Damage.
We hear from Shrewsbury, in New-Jersey, that the Week before last, one Mr. - - of that Place, being plied with strong Liquor by three Females, till he was much intoxicated, they then proceeded very deliberately to deprive him of his Manhood by C-n, which they effectually performed. The Crime he was charged with, was for depriving his Wife of Favours that he bountifully lavished upon his Neighbours. The Operators were, his Wife. his Wife's Mother, and one other Woman. He is in a fair Way of recovering, and the Women are all in Custody.

To be SOLD,
A Plantation lying in Waykake, in Middletown, in New-Jersey; containing about 160 Acres, whereon is a good Dwelling-House, 3 Rooms on a Floor; it is well water'd and timber'd, and about 30 Acres of clear Land and about 8 or 9 Acres of Salt Meadow, all the rest Woods, and a large Range for Cattle; there is also on it a large Quantity of Pine, either for Docking or Sawing, is within a Mile of a Saw and Gristmill, and is very con- venient to carry Wood to New-York, within a Mile of a Landing, from which a Boat may go all Winter, and not freeze up.

New-York, April 18. At the Supreme Court held at Perth-Amboy, on Thursday the 7th instant, came on the famous Trial of Traverse of an Indictment found by a Grand Jury in September Term, 1766, against the Jus- tices and Freeholders of the County of Middleser, charg- ing them with the Crime of raising divers Sums of Money on the Inhabitants of the County, and that great part thereof so raised, they had illegally applied to discharge
143

and pay their own Expences; against the Form of an Act of the Governor, Council and General Assembly, &c.
Upon this Trial it must be confessed, the Defendants laboured under certain great Disadvantages, besides the Dexerity and sanguine Efforts of the Attorney General were displayed and pushed to the utmost in this Matter. But from a just Exertion of the Abilities of the Attornies, who spoke on the Part of the Defendants, as well as from the Verdict of a virtuous Jury, who did Honour to their Country, and who themselves must have been injured, if the Charge had been just, the said Justices and Freehold- ers were honourably acquitted; and it may be said to the Satisfaction of the rest of the Inhabitants, equally con- cerned in Interest, if any, or the least Part of the Charge had been true: Upon the Whole there appeared great Malignity in this Prosecution.
The cold dry Weather we have lately had, has been at- tended with bad Consequences to many in the Country, by the Loss of Cattle, &c. but the usual Practice of burning of Woods and Meadows in the Spring, has been more so than usual; for we are assured, that near Mount Holly, in Burlington County, three Dwelling-Houses, and much Fencing have been destroyed by Fire on Wednesday last, besides other great Damages : And in the Event has been detrimental to those who would probably have been out of the Reach of such Fires otherways.
On Wednesday last, a dreadful fire broke out in the Dwelling House of the Widow Dildine, in the City of New-Brunswick; which catch'd, as its said, thro' a Crev- ice in the Chimney, and the Wind being very high, in a few Minutes spread to the Houses to Leeward of it. Mr. Neilson's Houses, Stores, and almost all his Effects, were consumed, to the Value of several Thousand Pounds : Mr.
144

Neilson himself 'tis said, was abroad, trying to prevent some of the spreading Fire in the Woods from reaching his Mills, so that on his Return he saw the melancholy Sight. Above 2000 Bushels of Wheat, many Barrels of Flour, a large parcel of Gammons, with near 1000 Bush- els of Corn, were burnt in his Stores. The Dwelling- House of John Van Norden, Baker, with much Bread and Cornel were destroyed; also the Dwelling-Houses of Peter Vredenburgh and the Widow Carmer were con- sumed; both of whom are great Sufferers; and several other Houses were mitch damaged. The Fire flew quite across the River, and set Fields afire there, which was with difficulty extinguisht. The Officers of the Army there, and the Inhabitants did all that was possible for Men to do upon such an Occasion.
The same Day a House of Thomas Fitsrandolph, in Piscataway, catched on Fire, but happily extinguished without much Damage.
The same Day, no less than three Houses catch'd on Fire at Amboy, but being timely discovered, were hap- pily extinguished.
The same Day the House of one Bond, between Elisa- beth-Town and Newark, was consumed by Fire, with much other Damage .- The New York Gasette or Weekly Post Boy, No. 1320, April 18, 1768,

WHEREAS some time in the Month of January last, Martha King, of Manington, in the County of Salem, West New-Jersey, obtained an Obligation of ine the Sub- scriber, of Upper Penn's Neck, in the County aforesaid, for the Sum of Sixty Pounds, conditioned for the Pay- ment of Thirty Pounds, to be paid Five Pounds the 30th of April next; Five Pounds the 30th of November fol- lowing; Ten Pounds the 30th of November 1769, and Ten Pounds the 30th of November 1770; but as said Bond was fraudulently obtained, I do give this public No- tice to all Persons, not to take any Assignment of said Obligation, for I will not pay any Money upon it.

"A very heavy Misfortune happened here Yesterday to

several Families. Between two and three o'Clock in the Afternoon a Fire broke through the Roof of the Widow Dildine's House, which by the Force of an exceeding high Wind communicated, in an Instant, to the House of John Van Norden, jun. Peter Vredenberg's House and Store, Mr. Bardin's House, and James Nelson, Esquire's House, and all his Stores. And as the Attending of the Inhabi- tants was chiefly given to prevent the Flames from con- suming the whole Town, not only the Houses and Stores abovementioned, but the greatest Part of the Furniture and Goods therein were consumed. Mr. Nelson's Loss is very great, - - exceeding, as it is reported, Eight Thousand Pounds. In him the Distressed had always a sure Resource, and the Country a faithful Merchant. In- deed his Loss will greatly affect the whole Town. It was with the utmost Difficulty that the Town was saved, as the Houses are built with Frames and Cedar Roofs. The Officers of the Army, with the Soldiers quartered here, exerted themselves in a very particular Manner, and did great Service. The burning Shingles were carried by the Violence of the Wind across the River, and communi- cated to a Wood, half a Mile distant, which soon de- stroyed all the Fence in its Way for about two Miles in Piscataway, and it was with Difficulty the Inhabitants saved several Buildings in the Course of the raging Flames."
We hear from Mountholly, that Yesterday Se'nnight, a Fire broke out in a Brew-House belonging to Mr. Thomas Cooper, of that Place, which entirely consumed the same, with all the Materials and Stock therein. The Fire communicated itself to a Barn, and Blacksmith's Shop, which were burnt to the Ground

IN my last I began to examine the peaceable and gentle Spirit of the Church of England, and now shall endeavour to trace it a little farther. The Canons of your Church, Dr. Chandler, do not seem to us to breath a very gentle Spirit.
What a Pity it is that the penal Laws formerly executed in England and Ireland against Dissenters, are not in force in America; and that spiritual Courts aided by the secular Arm are not introduced to restore primitive Dis- cipline. Then might we see some more success follow the good Doctors labours among the Heathen in, and about Elizabeth Town; and refractory Quakers, Baptists and Presbyterians, who never claimed any relation to the CHURCH, solemnly cast out of it, and brought to due obe- dience by fines, imprisonments and outlawry. Then, in- deed, might there be some good prospect, "that the word "of God would mightily grow and prevail" in New-Jer- sey, &c. as well as "New-England, according to the Lit- "urgy of the Church of England." 1

The fine BAY HORSE, CALLED, OLD ENGLAND Bred by, and purchased of John Holme, Esq; of Carlisle, in Cumberland.
HE is a Horse of Size, Strength, and Beauty, Nine Years old, and was got by Young Sterling; his Dam by Regulus, his Grandam by Roundhead, a Son of Flying Childers, (the fleetest Horse that ever started) his Gran- dam by Old Partner; her Dam by Makeless; her Gran- dam by Brimmer, out of Trumpet's Dam, which was got by Place's White Turk; her Dam by Dodsworth, out of a Layton Barb Mare. Young Sterling was got by Old Sterling, out of Matchin's Dam. Witness my Hand John Holem.
It may not be improper to illustrate the Pedigree of this Horse, with some Observations, which are but little known in this Country. "His Sire and Grandsire, were remark- able for getting more beautiful Stock, than any other Horses: The Character of Old Sterling, as a Stallion, will never be forgotten, as long as the Capital Perfor- mances of his Sons, Teaser, Torrismond, and Martin- dale's Sterling, can be remembered. Regulus, (the Sire of Old England's Dam) was got by the Godolphin Ara- bbian; his Dam by the celebrated Bald Gallaway, Son of St. Victor's Barb; in the Course of one Year, he won a £. 50 Prize, and eight King's Plates of an 100 Guineas each; to effect which, he travelled 4000 Miles, and beat all the Horses that started against him. Such a Series of Victories never were acquired by any Racer, (his own Son Careless excepted, who in the same Space also won eight Royal Plates. ) He left the TURF INVINCIBLE, and in one single Season gained £. 1000 in the Capacity of a Stallion.
