fr^m the great business of watching over t. e affairs of a

lions arise among them, and local interefls take place of

and its honest servants are tired out with tedious and ex

WamongH themselves for the disposal of them; and
Ihould they pass resolves ridiculous in themselves, and im

TH E Subfctibei proposing, in the course
of a few months, to remove with his family to
Fiance, offers his House and Lot in tewn for sale. The
fortunate situation of this lot, bounded by Gay, Market
and Frederick-streets, and dire&ly opposite the Market
houfe, being so well known, requires little description,
either for its fupeti.or advkntiges in @ny public bufi^
nefs, its agreeableness and conveffiency, or txtenfive ca
pacity for improvement. The house may well boast two
of the belt ilcftes in Baltimore, either in the retail or
wholesale way, for size or uHfulnefs ; there are apart
ments fu fficiently capable of accommodating the largest
family, and the whole so contrived as to admit oftwo
or three divisions without injury. Any person within^
to purchase this eft.ite, may treat with the fubferiber on
the premises, who has three Coppt: Stills, Coolers and
Mafliing-tubs to fell, and Flax-feed. Current Conti
nental money, gold, silver, or bills of exchange on
France or England, will be taken in payment.
