wards of two mites on the bay and North-call river,
and are esteemed the belt fisheries in thole parts, and
before the w:r the firsts were rented for considerable
sums, during the fithing feafon# The great advantage
to a family of having fifh at all seasons, and wild fovi
of the best kind, in their season, are great objects; be
sides that of having water carriage to the Head of Elk
or B bimore markets for all their produce; which will
undoubtedly recommend this farm to a good tenant.

aces of clear land, the remainder in wood; the fields

called Black Wainut, situated in Harford county, about
two miles from Su(quehannah Lower ferry, and at the
heal of Swan creek, containing about 600 acres, 300
acres of which are clear and under good fences; the
land excelled by little in this date for producing good
crops of corn, wheat and other grain, as well as hemp,
flax and tobacco, about 30 acres of meadow in graft,
and upwards of 100 acres may be watered ; this farm
has a navigable landing on Swan-creek, which affords
plenty of shad and other fifh, and wild fowl in their
f bn ; the dwelling house and out-houses are in good
repair.

acout 600 acres, situated in Harford county, Bush-river
Neck, bounded on the east by the bay of Ceefapeake,
with a navagable landing; about 300 acres of this
land are c/eard and under good fence; it has the
advantage of a salt marsh which affords early palturs

kind; about 60 acres of meadow land adjoining the
mill, equal in quality to any in the state ; a part is
banked marsh, and which at present is out of repair,
but when put in order will produce at lead 100 tons of
hay a year; its situation is equal to any on the conti
nent for the advantages of purchasing wheat, it being
surrounded by a flourifhing wheat country, and within
a few yards of tide water, which at a little expence may
be brought so near the mill door as to receive wheat and
deliver flour in flats. It is opposite to Kent county, in
this date, so remarkable for the produce of wheat ; and
there being so many other natural advantages attend
ing this situation, they will be best described to the
tenant on the premises. If this mill is not rented a
person will be wanted capable of managing that bufi
nefs, to be in copartnerihip with the owners.

anj make other improvements ; its situation has the
advantage of being near this town, as mentioned in
No. 8. added to which, the wood that is on the land
wII fell on the premises or at thie town for aconfider

produce, nothing more need be laid to recommend it
