HE Subfcriber begs leave to inform the Public, That he hath THE laid out a Town, called AARONSBURGH, in the county of Northumberland, very pleasantly fituated, in that beautiful, healthy, and fertile fettlement, called Penn's Valley, which is well known to be capable of every improvement, and which recommends itfelf as one of the first fituations on the contigent for an inland Town.. THIS Town confifts of upwards of Four Hundred Lots, from fifty-five feet to fixty feet in breadth, and from one hundred and ninety fcet to two hundred and thirty feet in depth, according to their respective situations. The Streets are fifty feet wide, and interfect each other at right angles; the Alleys are twenty feet wide:-the Centre Street, extending north and fouth, called " Aaron's Square," is, from North street to South Street, one hundred and fixty feet wide, in order to admit of Public Buildings, if, at a future day, any fhould be erected; the remaining part of faid Street, at north and fouth end, is eighty feet wide; and the Centre Street, extending eaft and weft, called "Rachel's way," is one hundred feet wide throughout. THIS Town is within two miles and an half of that fine navigable creek called Penn's Creek, which will command a trade to Baltimore, or any other part of the States, being only eighty miles diftant from that flourishing town, one hundred and twenty from Philadel phia, forty from Carlisle, and about thirty miles west of Sunbury. THERE will be a great advantage from the new road that is to be laid out to Fort Pitt, which, it is expected, will run through this town. Add to this, the advantage of its being in the centre of the most flourishing part of the State, for grain and other country produce and as there is a part of the counties of Northumberland, Cumberland and Bedford, to be formed into a feparate county, this being the centre, it is expected will be the county town. There are on this fpot, and places adjacent, ftone quarries, far fuperior to Carlife; and timber for building, equal to any in the state. There is now. a great road leading from the city of Philadelphia through this town, and Ino which the aforesaid new road to Fort Pitt, it is expected, will strike. Propofals, or Terms of Sale, of the Lots, are as follow, viz. THE Lots are to be numbered and fold at fix dollars each (to be paid on delivery of the ticket) and one dollar ground rent, per annum, redeemable at any time, by the payment of twenty Spanish filver dollars. As foon as three hundred tickets are fold, a lottery will be drawn of the lots, at the town of Northumberland, in the faid county (which it is expected will be by the first day of October next, as a great number of tickets are already engaged) after which an indifputable title will be given to every purchaser for fuch lot or lots as shall be drawn against his name (the deeds to be at the expence of the purchaser). A SUFFICIENT number of lots, in different parts of the town, will be referved to accommmodate religious focieties, of every denomination, for building places of worship, and outlots will be referved for burial places. ANY perfon inclining to have one or more out-lots, may be accommodated with lots from one to five acres, at a reasonable rate.
