TO BE SO L D;
A VALUABLE farm, in the county of Sussex,
and townfltip of Mansfield, Weft New-Jersey,
and about twenty miles from fcveral stores on the
banks of the Delaware, where they purchase all forts
of produce, at as high a price as in Trenton or Phi
ladelphia, a very small allowance for trailfportation ex
cepted. It contains 3524 acres, about 100 acres
cleared, 35 of which were cleared last year, with
about 6 acres of good meadow, and a very large pro
portion may be made, the rest is good timber land,
and may easily be made fit for tillage, and is in a fine
wheat country. There is about 22 acres of new
land wheat that may be had with the farm.
There is on the farm a good square log house, 30 feet
by 20, with three good chimnies, but the rooms are
unfinifhed, and another house of round logs, nearly
as good as the other, with 50 or 60 good bearing ap
pletrees. There are several line springs on the farm,
and a never failing ftreara that runs through the mid
dle of it, which, with a very small expence, might be
taken almost to every part of the farm; the ground
cleared is extraordinary for pasture; and a fine range
for cattle in the woods. It was formerly part of the
plantation col. Bond now lives on, and might do very
well for two farms, dividing it bythe stream; the
purchaser may have the whole or half, as best suits
him; for terms apply to the owners on the premises.
