TRENTO N.
r I Y O BE SOLD, a very valuable Tract of Land,
A lituate in Berkeley county, Virginia, containing
about 900 acres, 160 whereof cleared, including 50
acres of meadow: The uncleared land produces very
valuable timber. The fertility of the foil in this part
of the country is generally so well known, that it is
fufficient in this ativertifement to inform all those who
may be disposed to purchase, that it is equal to any
in the county. There is a large lime-stone Ipring,
and an apple orchard, a barn, and an old dwelling
house that may accommodate a small family until a
more commodious one can be built; lime, done and
timber requisite for that purpose on the premises. It
is in a pleasant part of the country, and in an agree
able neighbourhood. As this trad will make two good
plantations, it may be run off into two tracts and fold
separate, as may best suit. Enquire at Harper's Fer
ry on the Potowmack River. 4*
