"§" ONG-ISLAND LAND FOR SALE— 10,000 
JLi 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 lots 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 rilled 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.

POSTPONES? SALE of Full-bred Shorthorns and 
Improved Dairy Stock. — Owing to affliction in my family, 
I have postponed the Annual Sale, which was to take place in 
October, 1850, until the 28th of June, 1851. I also decline selling 
any stock by private sale, so as to offer the public, at auction, all 
the animals I have to part with, without having any previously 
selected from the herd, and all animals offered will be sold with- 
out reserve. My new importations of Shorthorns, Devons, South- 
down Sheep, and Hogs will arrive sometime during the fall. 
Timely catalogues, with full descriptions of each animal, will be 
published in the principal Agricultural Journals.

ANEW HARDY CLIMBER.— The new and 
beautiful Climber, Calesiigia pubescens, recently intro- 
duced from China by Mr. Fortune, proves perfectly hardy in 
New England, having stood in the grounds here the past winter, 
without the least protection. Trained to a single pillar, say ten 
feet in height, it is a very striking and beautiful object, from the 
middle of June to cold weather, during which time it is covered 
with a profusion of its large double flowers, of a delicate rose 
color, it is very ornamental, planted in patches, like the ver- 
benas ; makes an admirable screen, and is very effective in young 
plantations, belts, or shrubberies, trailing prettily on the surface, 
and running up among the lower branches of trees in a very 
picturesque manner. It is, therefore, particularly suited for 
ornamenting Cemeteries and Public Gardens. Its culture is very 
simple, and it thrives in any good garden soil. When required 
in considerable quantities, it is best to start them under glass in 
February or March, but the tubers may also be planted in the 
open ground in May. The subscriber will send to order, by 
mail or express, October 20th, tubers sufficient for 100 plants at 
$5 ; for 50 plants, $3 ; with directions for propogation and cul- 
ture. Strong plants in pots in April, $1 per pair.
