Land for Sale. 



20000 acres of land in Potter county, Pennsylvania, are 

 offered for sale, either in one body, or in such quantities 

 as will suit applicants. 



This Land is situated on the head waters of the Sin- 

 namahoning Creek which empties into the west brnnch of 

 the Susquehanna River above Dunnslown — by the pre- 



t law, the Pennsylvania canal is to be made as far as 

 Dcmnstown ; from thence to the Lakes, the shortest course 

 would be somewhere in the neighborhood of the land 

 now offered for sale. The title is indisputable, and taxes 

 paid up to the first day of the year eighteen hundred and 

 thirty. 



The Sinnamahoning Creek is navigable, and is about 

 forty feet wide at the bridge now building on or near this 

 land ; through which a road passes. The settlements on 

 the Sinnamahoning extend up to within five miles of this 

 tract of land, which reaches within twelve miles of Cou- 

 dersport (the county town.) As to the quality of this land, 

 it is of course various, as would be the case with the same 

 quantity in the immediate neighborhood of Philadelphia, 

 Boston, or New York. The flats bordeiing on the streams 

 are excellent, — a dark, rich, deep soil, free from stone and 

 easy to cultivate ; the upland, or as it is termed in that 

 country," Bench Land," is good farming land, deep, ex- 

 cellent soil, well adapted to grass, grain, &c. the hills arc 

 loo steep for farming, but are generally heavily timbered. 

 The prevailing timber is Beach, Maple, Birch, Cherry, I 

 Hemlock, and White Pine. Coal has been found on one I 

 branch of the Sinnamahoning, and it is believed by people 

 living in those parts, that there is abundance of Coal on 

 all the waters of the Sinnamahoning Creek. 



The Propiietor has divided four thousand acres into lots 

 of one hundred acres each. Any settler who may pay for 

 his land before seeing it, and should not like it when he 

 arrives there, may select another of said lots instead of the 

 one he has paid for, provided he does it within one year 

 from the time he pays the money, and notifies the Propri- 

 etor of his choice before said lot shall have been disposQd 

 of to some other purchaser or settler. 



None but sober, industrious people need apply for any 

 part of this land. 



Any person procuring ten purchasers or settlers, shall 

 have one bundled acres, gratis, provided he causes it to 

 be settled within one year from the time he becomes enti- 

 tled to it. The price is $2 per acre ; but a liberal deduc- 

 tion will be made to wholesale purchasers and to settlers. 



For further particulars, apply personally or by letters, 

 postpaid, to SAMUEL WEBB, 



No. 305, Mulberry-street, Philadelphia. 



Terms of payment will be made easy. 

 The following Certificate is from Samuel B. Fisher, a 



practical Surveyor, who has just returned from viewing 



the above described premises ; — he has no interest 



whatever (direct or indirect) in the sale of these lands, 



and is one on whose judgment and candor purchasers 



may safely depend. 



I hereby certify, that I was on the above described tract 

 of land for several days, in the beginning of the present 

 month, and while there, my time was occupied in exam- 

 ining the same ; and I am of the opinion that the forego- 

 ing description is a fair one, and that those who may feel 

 disposed to purchase, will find it lo correspond therewith.
