LANDS ON LONG ISLAND, 
A DJOINGING the Villages of Lakeland and Hermanville, about 
48 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 as can be found in this 
latitude. The 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. 
Any 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 G 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. Julv 1—2t. 
ANALYTICAL LABORATORY, 
Yale College, New-Haven, Connecticut. 
JOHN P. NORTON, Professor of Scientific Agriculture. 
T HIS Laboratory is now fully organised for instruction in all 
branches of analyses connected with the examination of soils, 
manures, minerals ? ashes, animal and vegetable substances, See. Full 
courses are given m each of these departments, and also m general 
Chemistry, both organic and inorganic. 
Studt nts can thus fit themselves to become instructors in the vari¬ 
ous branches of ChemisUy, or to apply so much of that and kindred 
sciences as may be necessary to the practical pursuit of agriculture 
or manufacturing. The demand for teachers and Professors in the 
various branches of chemistry, especially Agricultural, is now great 
and increasing, so that this is now a fair field for those who have a 
taste for such pursuits. 
A course of Lectures on Scientific Agriculture, by Professor Nor¬ 
ton, commences in January of each year, and continues for two and 
a half months. This course is designed especially for the practical 
farmer, and has given great satisfaction to those who have attended 
it in previous years. It embraces a plain connected outline of the 
leading points in improved agriculture, treating in succession of the 
cqmposiiion of the soil, the plant and the animal; of their connections 
with each other, and of all the improvements in cultivation, manur¬ 
ing, feeding and fattening, which have been adopted in the best agri¬ 
cultural regions. This course is made so plain and practical, that the 
•farmer who attends-it can understand the whole, and apply it in his 
own experience. 
More can be learned by attendance upon such lectures, by reading 
in connection with them, and by associating with others who are also 
desirous of obtaining a betler knowledge of their profession than in 
years away from' such advantages. The young farmer learns to 
think for himself, to see that a practice is not necessarily right be¬ 
cause it is old, to understand the reasons for all that he does, and with 
this increase of knowledge is better able to make farming profitable 
as well as interesting. 
Board and lodging maybe procured at from $2 to $3 per week, and 
the Ticket for the Lecture is $10. 
In connection with the Lecture is a short Laboratory course, by 
means of which those who desire it, are taught to test soils, manures, 
marls, See., in a simple way, and to make many elementary exami¬ 
nations of a highly useful character. The charge for this course is 
$25. 
To those students who go through the full Laboratory course, the 
charge is about $200 per annum, and they can be admitted at any pe¬ 
riod of the year at a proportional charge.
