pear more clearly, by observing, that Wil

Indian boundary line; at which time he
considerably traveried that tradl: he also
afltftsd in furvejftng and laying it off into
townfliips, and at other times ranged over
it, to gain information. But to obtain a
more complete and .accurate knowledge, we
have lately spent between two and three
moDthj, with several »flifl;\rits, in particu
larly examining the different townships and
quarter townships ; by which means we have
acquired an accuiate knowledge of the whole
diftriift.— We now offer pur services to the
public, as Locaters, with a If.'ranees that we
will locate every persons warrants intruded
to us to the be ft advantage, agreeably to
their rights of location, which is to be de

vices we demand the one equal tenth par*,
eitlier in lands or warrants, when we locate
a full trail, of four thousand acre* or more,
for one person or firm ; the land to be taken
in a square, at a corner of the trail ; which
corner is to be equitably determined before
the time of location.—The one equal sixth

and lcqete any amount K-fs.than four thou

from December next, until after the time of

will please to call on 11s, by letter, (pottage
paid) or other wife ; when due attention will

The Swift Sure starts from PHILADEL.
PHIA, at 6 o'clock every mrrning (Sundays
excepted) frcm the GREEN TREE, oppofiie
tbe Lutheran Church, North Fourth street. It
goes through Frankford to Buftleton, where it
ftopi to Brealfaft; from Biftletown it goea
through Newtown to Penny-town to dinner ;
from Penny town through Hopewell, Miltflone,
Bound-brook, Quibbleiown and Plainfield to
S« otch Plains to lodge. Tlte Bt xt morning it
flops at Springfield to breakfaft, from whence
it jjoei through Newark and arrives at New-
York at noon.
From NEW-YORK it flam at 3 o'clock in
she afternoon (from Pauius Hook ) and arrives
at Philadelphia the next evening. For (cats at
New-Yprk, application may be'madejo Ed
ward SmTU, OVI c&fftr house, to A. Mathu-u,
corner of NaiTati and John street* to B. Many,
no. 48, Courtlandt, corner of Greenwich ftrect,
and to Michael Little, at hia hotel, do. 4 a.
Broad Ureet.
Fare for paflengers, Five Dollars.
Way paflengers 6 Cents per Milet
Each patenter is allowed to take on i 4 lbs. of
baggage carriage free ; but all other baggage,
taken on by a ppffenger, will be charged at 4
cents per pound weight.
With refpetfl to packages sent on without
paflengers. the proprietors prel'ume they have
adopted a regulation, which, thojgh unknown
to other lines ps <hge«, they thick mull meet
with general approbation, They pledge thtm
felves to make good every package on the fol
lowing conditions The person who deliver*
the package at the office shall fee it entered in
the stage-bock, for which entry he shall pay 6
cents he will then state the value of the pack
age,and pay (excluflve of the carriage J per
cent, on the v.ilue, as insurance, and for which
t r\ Wll i nKf ' Ve * rect 'l >t - Thus, for inftanoe,
if he euimates his package it one dollar, he will
pay one cent, and if at one hundred collars, he
will pay one dollar insurance, and in like pro
portion tor packages of any other value.
Very few persons it is presumed, will dislike
this regulation j it will however, be optionable
with every one to avail himfelf of this fecuritr
or not. But the proprietor* think it right to
ftatevtry explicitly, that they will be respon
sible for the fafe delivery of no package, which
is not regularly entered, and for which an insur
ance receipt cannot be produced.
In the diflribution of the route, the greatell
c are has bren taken to fix on such places and ta
verns as always afford a good accommodatioa
ai>.d entertainment for the paflengers at the naoft
reasonable rates The stages are well equipped
turnilhed with fleet and fleadyhorfc?, and com
mitted to the care of intelligent sober and obli
ging drivers. The proprietors themfelvet live
at the different towns and villages where the
stages will flop, (o that thecondudl of the per
sons they employ is continually an ebjefl of their
attention.—-They take care also to lee that the
paflengers are well provided for and politely
treated at the taverns, and that no fort of chica
nery or insolence ia pratflifed upon them ; in
ftiort, they have fparedneitherpains nor rxpence
torender the SWIFT-SURE the very belt line
offtakes in America.
The line has now run nearly a month, dur
ing which time a great number of gentlemen
have gone through, both from Philadelphia and
New-York. Every paflenger has found the
road tofurpafs very far all that has been faidof
tu excelleace ; and the Proprietors of the Swift
Sure are extrepely happy to hear the behavieu
of their drivers, and the treatment at Tavernsf
spoken of with the highest fatisfaflion.
