This company; has sold an immense quantity of their land from Bloom ngtmrto- Freeport - , on the west brambrof the road, upon thiae terms ; and pm sans who hind bought farms from tlietn sip y ago for five and six dollars per acre, have them well improved now, and most of them could not be induced to part with thorn now for any sum less than forty dollars per acre. The object of the company, in belling land so cheap, is plausible. The road when first made run through a wild unsettled country, and they were compelled to allow out these inducements to get persons to settle on and cultivate those lands, which must nece'ssai ily result to the benefit of the company in the elapse of time, as it is the giving birth to future cbstom and run of 'business.
