They have intreducel their selections of Teas. and are selling them at not. over 'Nolo Cents (.02 Cents) per pound above Cost, never deviating from the ONE PRICE asked. Another pee iliarity of the company is that their TEA TASTER not only devotes his time to the selec lion of their Teas as to quality, value. and particu lar styles for particular localities of country. but he helps the TEA buyer to choose out of their enormous stock such TEAS as are best adapted to his peculiar wants, and not only this. hut points out to him the best bargains. It is easy to see the incalculable ad vantage a TEA ritITER has in this establishment over all others. If he is no judge of TEA. or the MARKET. if his time is valuable, he has all the benefits of a well organized system of doing business. of an immense capital, of the judgment of a professional Tea Taster, and the knowledge of superior salesmen.

A Rare Opportunity in the Best Market, and Most De lightful and healthful Climate in the Union. Only thirty miles South of Philadelphia. on a Railroad; briny a Rich, Heavy Soil, and Highly Productive Wheat Land; Amongst the Best in the Garden Slate of New Jersey. It consists of 20,000 acres of GOOD land, diviied into Farms of different. sizes to suit the purchaser— FROM 20 ACRES AND UPWARDS—and is SOW at the rate of from $l5 to $2O per acre for the farm land, pay able one-fourth cash, and the balance by quarter yearly installments, with legal interest, within the term of four years. The Soil is, in great part. a Rich Clay Loam, suit able for Wheat, Grass and Potatoes—also a dark and rich sandy loam, suitable for corn, sweet-potatoes, tobacco, all kinds of vegetables and root crops, and the finest varieties of fruit, such as Grapes, Pears, Peaches, Apricots, Nectarines, Blackberries, Melons and other fruits, best adapted to the Philadelphia and New York Markets. In respect to the soil and crops there can he no mistake, as visitors can exam ine both, and none are expected to buy before so do ing, and finding these statements correct—under these circumstances, unless these statements were correct, there would be no use in their being made. It is considered the best Fruit soil in the Union. [See Reports of Solon Robinson, Esq., of the New York Tribune, and the well-known agriculturist, William Parry, of Cinnaminson, New Jersey, which will he furnished inquirers.] The Market.---By looking over a map the reader will perceive that it enjoys the best market in the Un ion, and lots direct communication with New York and Philadelphia twice a day, king only .thirty-two miles from the latter. Produce this market. brings double the price that it does in locations distant. front the cities. In this location it. can be put into market the same morning it is gathered, and for what the farmer sells he gets the highest price: whilst. groceries and other articles he purchases he gets at the lowest price.' In the West, what. he sells brings him a pittance, hut for what. he buys he pays two prices. In locating here the settler has many other advantages. lie is within a few hours, by railroad, of all the great cities of New England and the Middle States. He is near his old friends and associations. He has school for his children. di vine service, and all the advantages of civilization, anti he is near a large city. The Climate is delightful; the winters being sa lubrious and open, whilst the summers are no warm er than in the North. The location is upon the line of latitude with northern Virginia. Persons Wanting a change of Climate for Health, would be much benefitted in Vineland. The mild ness of the climate and its bracing influence, makes it excellent for all pulmonary affections, dyspepsia or general debility. Visitors will notice a difference in a few days. Chills and fevers are unknown. Conveniences at Hand.—Building material is plen ty. Fish and oysters are plenty and cheap. Visitors must. expect, however, to see a new place. Why the Property has not been Settled Before,— This question the reader naturally asks. It is be cause it. has been held in large tracts by families not disposed to sell, and being without railroad facilities they had few inducements. The Railroad.has just been opened through the property this season, for the first. time. Visitors are shown over the land in a carriage, free of expense, and afforded time and opportunity for thorough investigation. Those who come with a view to settle. should bring money to secure their purchases. as locations are not held upon refusal. The Safest thing in Hard Times, where people have been thrown out of employment. or business. and possess some little means or small incomes, is to start themselves a home. They can buy a piece of land at a small price. and earn more than wa n es in impriwing it, and "rhea it iS done it is a certain in dependence and no A few acres in fruit. trees will insure a comfortalde living. The land is put down to hard limes. and all improvements can be made at a cheA,...ir rate than most any other time. The whole tract, with six miles front on the rail road, is being laid ont with fine and spacious aven ues, with t town in the centre—five acre lots in the own set, ac rom $l5O to $2OO two and a-half acre lots. at from $BO to $l2O. and town lots 50 feet front by 1 -, 0 feet deep, at sloo—payable one-half cash and Lae balance within a year. It is only upon farms et twenty acres, or more, that four years' time is given. • To Manufacturers, the town affords a into opening for the Shoe manufacturing business. and other ar ticles, being near Philadelphia. and the surrounding country has a large population, which affords a good market. This settlement, in the course of several y,ears, will he one of the most beautiful places in the coun try. and most agreeable for it residence. It. is intended to make 'it a Vine and Fruit growt ing country, as this culture is the most. profitable and the best adapted to the market.. Every advan tage and convenience for settlers will be introduced which will insure the prosper!) , of the place. The hard times throughout the country will be an advan tage to the settlement., as it compels people to resort to agriculture fora living.

SALE BILLS PRINTED HERE, NEATLY AND CHEAP Report of Solon Robinson, OF THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE, UPON TIM VINELAND SETTLEMENT rar The following is an extrart from the report of Solon Robinson. Esq., published in the New York Tribune, in reference to Vineland. All persons OMR re d this report with interest. Advantages of Farming near Home—Vineland—Re marks upon Marl—Soil, its great. Fertility—Tho Cause of Fertility—Amount of Crops Produced-- Practical Evidence It is certainly one of the most ostensive fertile tracts, in an almost level position, and suitable condition for pleasant farming that we know of this side of the west ern prairies. 11 - e found some of the oldest farms appar ently just as profitable productive as when first cleared of forest fifty or a hundred years ugo. The geologist would soon discover the cause of this clainued fertility. The whole country is a marine d7posit, and all through the soil we found evidences of calcareous substances, generally in the form of indurated calcareous marl, showing many distinct forms of ancient shells, of the tertiary formation ; and this manly substance is scattered all through the soil, in a very comminuted form, and in the exact condition most easily assimilated by such plasmas the farmer desires to cultivate. Marl. in all its forms, has been used to fertilize crops in England, from the time it was occupied by the Romans; and in France and GermLny a marl bed is counted on as a valuable bed of manure, that can be dug and carted and spread over the field.— How much more valuable then it must be, when found already mixed through the soil, where new particles will be turned up and exposed, and transformed to the owner's use every time he stirs the earth. Having then satisfied our minds of thecause; they will not be excited with wonder at seeing indubitable evidence of fertility in a soil which in other situa tions, having the same general characteristics or at least appearances, is entirely unrenumeraiive except as its productiveness is promoted by artificial fertil ization. !bw words about the quality and value of this aru for cultivation, of which we have some strong proof. Our first visit. was to William D. Wilson. Franklin township, Gloucester county, who purchased somo eight miles north of Mil'vine, aboutthree years ego, for the purpose of establishing a steam mill, to work up the timber into lumber, to send off by the new railroad, as well as the firewood end coal, for which he built a branch track a mile and a half long. He also furnished sixteen miles of the road with ties, and has no doubt made the mill profitable, though his main object was to open a farm, having become convinced that the soil was valuable for cultivation. In this he has not been disappointed, as some of hie crops prove. For instance, last. year, the second time of cropping, 306 bushels of potatoes on on• acre, worth 00 cents a bushel in the field. This year sent' acres, without. manure, produced 356 bushels of oats. In one field, the first crop was potatoes, planted among the roots, and yielded 75 bushels.— The potatoes were dug, and wheat sown, and yield ed 16 bushels; and the stubble turned under and sown to buckwheat, which yielded 33i bushels; and then theground was sown to clover and timothy, which gave as a first urop 2-1. tons per acre. The fertilizers applied to these crops were first, ashes front clearings: second, 225 pounds of super phosphate of lime; third. 200 pounds Peruvian gu ano; then 50 bushels of slaked lime has been spread upon the clover since it was mowed, and turned is for wheat. Mr. Wilson's growing crops, and the wheat stub ble of the present season, all indicate his land as productive as any part of the State. At Mary Barrow's, an old style Jersey woman farmer, several miles south of Mr. Wilson's, we wer• so particularly struck with the fine appearance of a field of corn, thatwe stopped to inquire of the hirr4 man how it was produced. We found that the laud had been tile year Wit. one beicre in wheat, sews. with clover, and this cut one season, awl tnsi spring. plowed once, with one "poor old nag,'t and planted with corn. "Yes, but you manured high, we suppose ?" we said interrogatively, and got this reply :• "11'aal, you see, we couldn't a done that; 'cause we hadn t but forty one-horse loads altogether, for 23 acres, and we wanted the most on't for the truck. The truck consisted of beets, carrots, cabbage, cucumbers, melons, &c., and a very productive patch of Lima beans, grown for marketing. So we were satisfied that the soil was not infertile, even unaided by clover, which had fed the corn, becausothe "truck patch" had not. been in cultivation long enough to obliterate all signs of the forest. Our next visit was to the large farm of Andrew Sharp. five miles north of Millville, from half to a mile east. of the railroad, mad just about in the cen tre of Vineland. 11r. Sharp commenced work bore in December, 1858, upon 270 acres. In less than three years, he has got, 234 acres cleared and In crops this season, as well inclosed and divided into several fields, with cedar rail or pole fence ; has built. a two-story dwelling, about. 30 by 40 feet, and a smaller house for farm laborers, and a stable and granary and some other out buildings. Considerable part. of the land was cleared for the plow at $9 an acre, and on some of it the first crop was buckwheat., limed with 50 bushels in powder per acre. This crop may be put. in July 4th to 20th, and yields 20 to 30 bushels per acre, harvested in November; when the land being sowed with 150Iba of Peruvian guano and. seeded with rye, yielded 12 to 15 bushels per acre and $lO worth of straw. The ryeistubble turned, after knocking off a large growth of oak, sprouts, and dressed again with guano and 'seeded to wheat, gave 15 or 10 bushels. The crop which he was threshing while we were there promi ses more, of a very plump grain, and the straw is very heavy. We went over the stubble, and found the clover and timothy, from seed sowed last spring, on the wheat without harrowing, looking as well as weever saw it upon any old cultivated farm, and with a lit tle work done in the winter to clear off some roots and rotten stumps. and setting stakes to mark per manent ones, he will be able to cut the crop the next year with a mowing machine, and we will guarantee two tons per acre, if he will give the overplus if is ever runs the estimate. Part of the land was planted with potatoes for a first. crop, which yielded 120 bushels per acre. It. was then limed with 50 bushels per acre, and seeded with wheat and clover, yielded and average of over 15 bushels per acre, and the clover now looks beau tiful. Other portions have been planted with corn as a first crop. which yielded 30 bushels of yellow fint corn, and the second crop 40 bushels, and the third crop. treated to 1501bs. of guano, we are sure no one would estimate below 40 bushels per acre. [The reader will recollect that the writer is now speaking of land perfectly new, and which can scarcely be considered in good arable condition En.] In other cases. the corn crop of last year was fel- lowed with oats this season, not yet threshed, but will average probably 40 to 50 bushels. Sweet po-. tatoes. beans, melons, and, in fazt, all garden veg etables. as well as young peach and other fruit, trees planted this year show very plainly that this long neglected tract of land should remain so no. longer, and there is now a strong probability that it will not ; for under the auspices of Mr. Landis, it will he divided into small lots, with roads located to accommodate all—the surveyor is now busy at. this work—and all purchasers will be required to. build neat comfortable houses, and either fence their lots in uniformity, or agree to live withaqt fence, which would be preferable, by which means , a good population will ho secured, who will estab lish churches, schools, stores, mills, mechanic shops and homes—homes of American farmers, surround ed by gardens, ttrchards, fields and °cncerts of civ ilized life. If nay one, from any derangement of business, is desirous of changing his pursuits. of life, or who is from any cause, desiropS to find a new location Anil asap home in the .4W..iiitry, and who may read Lind hulieve what. me have-truly stated, he will do. cell to go and see for hlajaelf what may be seen. within a two houTow s rido eit of Philadelphia.
