change may be sure to meet with a good bargain. Said
place lays in the town of Gofhen, and state of New-
York, within twenty miles of the landing place at New-
Windsor ; the house is new, large and elegant, fends
in a beautiful situation, with an extensive profpeft all
round it of meadows, lawns and orchards. The farm

square lots, well improved, has ten acres of excellent
meadow, a large bearing orchard, with a living stream
of water running through the whole: There is likewise
a large old building, two new barns, and several other
