EMERY & CO.’S 
New-York State Society’s First Premium 
RAILROAD HORSE-POWERS. 
T HE above justly celebrated Powers as now made and sold by the 
subscribers, are offered the public with the assurance that they 
are all they are represented—they having been very extensively and 
thoroughly introduced and tested, side by side, with all the tread pow¬ 
ers known, of any note in the country, and been preferred. 
The Chairman of the Agricultural Society’s Committee on Horse¬ 
powers, in a communication written several months after the award¬ 
ing of premium to the above Horse-Power, says: “ I spent much 
lime at the late State Fair. (Sept. 1850,) at Albany, in examining the 
.var us Horse-Powers, viz. Wheeler’s, Allen’s, Ham’s, and Emery 
A Cp.’s, first with the owners and makers, and heard all they could 
say, and again in their absence-^-and the result most fully convinced 
me that yours was the best, and if I wanted one, I would give 
TWENTY DOLLARS more for yours than any others on the 
grounds; and as you have won the laurels fairly, it is just that you 
shbuld recieve a full reward.” 
He further says—“ You know from experience that I have no sort 
of partiality for your establishment, and as a committee-man of said 
Society for years, I have decided against you oftener than for you ; 
and if others have a better article than you, I would decide in their 
favor, if the decision ruined your establishment, and vice versa, hurt 
who it may. 
With the testimony of such men as the author of the foregoing, 
which, together with the changeable gearing, and other important 
improvements adopted since last season, make it the most Convenient, 
Durable, Efficient, and Economical Horse-Power now made; and 
the public may rest assured of being furnished by us with a superior 
machine.

LANDS ON LONG ISLAND, 
A DJOINGING the Villages of Lakeland and Hermanville, about 
4S miles from the cities of New-York and Brooklyn, by the 
Long Island Railroad. The opportunity is now offered to all those 
who ever wish to obtain land on Long Island, the ancient “ Garden 
of America,” that will probably never occur again, for these lands 
are the only remaining new lands on the Island, and are equal in 
quality, when cultivated, to any other land. 
The results of cultivation on these Island lands have been so great, 
so much beyond the expectations of any one, that they are now con¬ 
sidered of great value for farms and gardens, and will, in all proba¬ 
bility, be all taken up for settlement and occupation, or be held at 
more than five times their present price. All kinds of produce may 
now be seen growing there, such as wheat, rye, corn, potatoes, and 
garden vegetables, with fruits and flowers, in the most luxuriant 
growth, where but a short time since, the land was covered with 
trees and bushes. 
The surface of the ground is perfectly beautiful, free from stone, 
bogs or marshes, and the climate as healthy a3 can be found in this 
latitude. Tjie soil is a fine loam., admirably adapted to high cultiva¬ 
tion and great crops, and of easy tillage. 
Indeed no New-England or Northern New-York man can form any 
adequate idea of the difference in the labor and strength requisite to 
cultivate these Island lands, and that required to subdue their own 
rugged lands, until he has seen or made the trial; and I now offer for 
sale as handsome land, and intrinsically as valuable, as can be found 
within fifty miles of the city of New-York, in any direction, in lots 
of five acres or more, for the sum of $25 per acre. 
Aliy person wishing to purchase a five acre lot of good and hand¬ 
some land, without one foot of water or useless ground on it, can do 
so by sending $10 as a first payment, and the further sum of $10 a 
month until half is paid, when warrantee deed and good title will be 
given, and the remainder part of the purchase money may be paid or 
secured on the land, to be paid within three or five years with 6 per 
cent yearly interest. Larger lots will be sold on the same terms. 
The title is perfectly good—I have a history or deduction of the 
title complete—certified to by legal men of the highest character, 
I will send by mail, with maps, pamphlets, and all information, to all 
purchasers, or those who wish to be informed of these Island lands, 
by applying to CHARLES WOOD, Stationer, 117 John street, New- 
York. July 1—2t
