LONG-ISLAND LAND FOR SALE— 10,000 
acres. — The undersigned is engaged in improving and 
cultivating the wild lands of Long Island, on the borders of the 
Long-Island Railroad, about 50 miles from the city of New York, 
at Lake Road, or Irvington. Several years' experience, and a 
thorough knowledge of the soil and its capabilties to produce, 
enable him to say confidently, that these lands are equal to any 
land on Long Island when cultivated in the same manner. That 
all kinds of fruit, grain, and vegetables, that are produced on any 
part of the island, can be raised upont these lands, which are 
now offered for sale in parcels to suit purchasers and settlers, 
from small lot3 of a few acres to 100, 1,000, or even 10,000 acres. 
To capitalists, or persons desirous to purchase a large tract of 
valuable land, well situated, of easy access to the best markets in 
this country, in a perfectly healthy climate, in the midst of a great 
game region, the woods abounding in deer and wild birds, whilst 
the neighboring bays and waters of the island are filled with 
wild fowl and fish in great abundance and variety. 
One of the finest trout streams of the island runs through this 
land, and in the north parts of the tract, is the famous Ronkon- 
koma Pond, or Lake, one of the most beautiiful sheets of water 
that can be found anywhere, of about three miles in circuit, the 
shores and banks of which are pleasant and picturesque in a high 
degree. 
Persons settling here, have all the advantages of growth and 
rise of property of a new country, with all the privileges of an 
old-settled country, as by a ride of three to five miles, churches 
and schools of various denominations may be fouud, of more than 
100 years' standing. Title perfect, and will be sold on advan- 
tageous terms, and at a low price.
