\ NEW AGRICULTURAL SETTLE-
J. Y MENT.—To all wanting farms, a rare opportunity
in a delightful and healthy climate 25 miles aoutheaat of
Philadelphia on the Camden and Atlantic Railroad, New-
Jersey. An old estate consisting of several thousands of
acres of productive soil has been divided into Farms of
various siie* to suit the purchaser. A population of some
Fifteen Hundred. from various parts of the middle States
ami New England have settled there the past year, im
proved their places, and raised excellent crops. The
price of the land is at the low sum of from sl"> to s2n
per acre, the -oil is of the best quality tor the production
of (Cheat, Clover, Com, Peaches, (Dupes and Vegeta
bles. It is considered the best fruit soil in the Union.
The place is perfectly secure from frosts -the destructive
enemy of the farmer. Crops of grain, grass and fruit are
now growing and can be seen. By examining the place
itself, a correct judgment ran be formed of Ihe produc
tiveness of the land. The terms are made easy to secure
the rapid improvement of the land, which is only sold for
actual improi ement. The result has been, that within the
past year, some three hundred houses have been erected,
two mills, one steam, four stores,some forty vinyard and
Peach orchards, planted, and a large number of other
improvements, making it a desirable and active place of
business.
The Market, as the reader may perceive from its loca
tion, is the best in the Union. Produce bringing double
the price than in locations away from the city, and more
than double the price than the West. It is known that
the earliest and best fruits and vegetable.- in this latitude
come from New Jersey, and are annually exported to tin
extent of millions.
In locating here, the settler has many advantages. He
is within a few hours ride of the great cities of New Eng
land and Middle States, he is near his old friends and as
sociations, he is in a settled country where every improve
ment of comfort and civilization is at hand. He can buy
every article he wants at the cheapest price, and sell his
produce for the highest, (in the West this is reversed,)
he has schools for his children, divine service, and will
enjoy an open winter, and delightful climate, where fev
ers are utterly unknown. The result of the change upon
those from the north, has generally been to restore them
to an excellent state of health.
In the way of building and improving, lumber can be
obtained at the mills at the rate ot $lO or $1.5 per thou
sand. Bricks from the brick yard opened in the place
every article can he procured in the place, good carpen
ters are at hand, and there is noplace in the Union where
buildings and improvements can lie made cheaper.
The reader will at once be struck with the advantages
here presented, and ask himself why the property has not
been taken up before. The reason is, it was never thrown
in the market; and unless these statements were correct,
no one would he invited to examine the land before pur
chasing. This all are expected to do. They will see the
land under cultivation, such is the extent of the settle
ment that they will no doubt, meet persons, from their
own neighborhood ; they will witness the improvements
and can judge the character ol the population. It they
come with a view to settle, they should come prepared to
stay a day or two and be ready to purchase, as locations
cannot be held on refusal.
There are two daily trains to Philadelphia, and to all
settlers who improve, THE RAILROAD COMPANY GIVES A
FREE TICKET FOR SIX MONTHS, AND A HALF-PRICE TICKET
1 Oil THREE YEARS.
THE TOWN OF HAMMONTON.—In connection with
the agricultural settlement, a new and thriving town has
naturally arisen, which presents inducements for any kind
of business, particularly stores and manufactories. The
Shoe business could be carried on in this place and market
to good advantage, also cotton business, and manufacto
ries of agricultural implements or Founder its for casting
small articles. The improvement has been so rapid as to
insure a constant and pe-manent increase of business.—
Town lots of a good size, we do not sell small ones, as it
would effect the improvement of the place, can be had at
from SIOO and upwards.
The flammonton Farmer, a monthly literary and agri
cultural sheet, containing full information of Hammontoii,
can be obtained a* 25 cents per annum.
Title indisputable—warrantee deeds given, clear of all
incumbrance when monev is paid. Route to the land :
leave Vine street wharf, Philadelphia, for Hammoiiton by
Railroad, at 74 A. M.. or 4J P. M. Fare 90 cents. When
there inquire tor Mr. Ryrnes. Boarding conveniences on
hand. Parties had betteretop with Mr. Byrnes, a princi
pal, until they have decided as to purchasing, as he will
show them over the land in his caniage, free of expense.
Letters and applications can be addressed to Landis A

Instrumental Music will not, as heretofore, be taught in
the Institution, but by special arrangement—a class will
be taught in a hall adjoining the grounds of the Institute,
by the Teacher ol Vocal Music.
This arrangement has been adopted for the past term,

tho plau pursued in former years. Special pains will be
taken to secure the greatest progress of those wishing to
take lessons in this branch. Terms will be as heretofore :
Tuition on Piano Forte, per term $lO 00

Pupils boarding in the Hall will furnish their own tow
els, Ac., and the table silver a, their option. It is desira
ble that they also furnish their own bed and bedding
when it is convenient, but when otherwise, these will be
furnished at a slight charge.
It is strongly recommended that students from abroad
should board in the Institution, as better opportunities
for advancement in study are thereby secured.
Normal Department -Special exercises are arranged
without extra charge for those preparing themselves as
Teachers of Common Schools. Prof. C. R. COBURN, the
able and well known Superintendent of Common Schools
in the county, has kindly consented to organize the Tea
cher's class, and direct the course to be pursued.
He will also be present to conduct its exercises as often
as practicable, and will deliver frequent lectures on the
Theory and Practice of Teaching, as also on other subjects
connected with Normal training.
Those persons, therefore, intending to engage in teach
ing lor the winter, will find it greatly to their advantage
to be present during the Fall term.
Prof. Coburn's connection with the institution is not
such as to in any way interfere with the discharge of the
regular duties of his office.
No pains will be spared, on the part of the Faculty and
Trustees in sustaining the high repnlntation the institu
tion lias hitherto enjoyed, and in rendering it more wor
thy of future patronage and support

WE are manofacturii g the above unrivalled Powers
for One and Two Horses, under Emory's Patent,
which are warranted greatly superior to the common
Rack and Pinion Power. Our Horse Power is unequalled
for convenience by any other ;—being adapted to a (treat
variety of uses where power is needed ; for the reason
that it is double geared, and that both ends of the main
.aid counter shafts have couplings all alike, permitting
the converge gear wheel, pinion and hand-wheel to be
shipped from shaft to shaft and from side to side of the
Power at pleasure : by which arrangement five different
degrees of motion are" obtained without extra gearing ;
and also, any desirable length and velocity of crank mo
tion for cross cut sawing, pumping and churning. These
Powers run easily, arc strong, well finished and made
from good materials.
THRESHERS AND SEPARATORS.
These are made of various sizes. They are superior to
those of any other manufacture, of which fact any per
son well acquainted with the heretofore leading machines,
will be satisfied upon examination. Our FAN VINO
MiI.US, which aie the very best in market, are fitted tor
power to be run in connection with the Treslier and Sep
arator.
THRESHERS AND CLEANERS.
We have succeeded beyond our most sanguine expecta
tions in inventing aud constructing a combined Thresher
A Cleaner of our own, which, we believe, for two horse
power, has not its superior nor equal. It runs easily and
threshes and cleans font. without wasting the grain, which
is delivered in the measure cleaned fit for market.
These Winnowers are simple, easily managed, and are
warranted to give entire satisfaction.
Bo- We are prepared to furnish at once, or on very

prices as our own, uud no charge for freight. All who
