scarcest years for fruit, an excellent spring house, the

every other out-house neceflary on a farm, with an ex
cellent garden ; the fixation of this farm it at the fork
of Sufqnehannah and North-east rivers, at the head of

ded to the advantages of a farm, this place has a most
-extensive Iliad and herring fithery, which extend up
wards of two miles on the bay and North east river,
and are esteemed the belt fisheries in those parts, and
before the war rhe Ihores were rented for considerable
sums, during the filhing season. The great advantage
to a family of having fifh at all seasons, and wild fowl
of the belt kind, in their season, are great objects; be
tides that of having water carriage to the Head of Elk
or Baltimore markets for all their produce; which will
undoubtedly recommend this farm to a good tenant.
