the city of New-York, and two miles and a half from
Hudson's river, on the westerly fide thereof, containing
about two thousand acres, and known by the name of

and timbered, having on it a large quantity of the fineft
while oaks and other trees of the most valuable kinds •
also an extraordinary stream of water, and a saw mill
thereon, which if properly attended to, will clear two
hundred pounds a year free of all expences. There are
about one hundred acres improved of the above trad and
a fufiicient quantity of meadow to keep twenty head of
cattle, besides horses, &c. through the winter; and about
two hundred acres more may be easily made. The land
is as fit for grain as any in the country. The meadows
exceed in goodness any in the neighbourhood, and a better
out range for cattle cannot be in any part whatever. On
the premises are a good framed house, with a large garden
newly paled round, having in it sundry forts of the best

apple trees- .Besides the above valuable improvements,
